There are very few mainstream directors working today whose style is as immediately recognizable as Tim Burton's. He is a man obsessed – and many would say, possessed – by the macabre, the romantic and the grotesque, sensibilities that entwine themselves through the DNA of his every project, no matter how innocuous the subject matter.
But Burton has been regarded as a ‘one for the studios, one for me’ kinda guy, and arguably his smaller, more personal efforts triumph over the larger blockbusters. Of late, the underwhelming combo of Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows have left us wondering if the director can still capture his particular brand of dark magic in a bottle. Fortunately, the upcoming stop-motion pic Frankenweenie proves that not only is the master of the macabre back, he’s still got plenty of bite.
