Every Tim Burton Film Ranked From Worst To Best

It is evident within many Tim Burton films that he has a real obsession with reanimated dogs. His two previous stop-motion classics had deathly canine characters in the forms of Zero and Scraps, and thus we can tell that this is a subject he cares for.

This movie is a feature-length reinterpretation of his original short of the same name that tells the story of a young Victor Frankenstein. After losing his dog suddenly, Victor performs a scientific experiment to bring the loveable creature back to life.

The title is absolutely filled with authentic gothic horror, with its black and white colouring giving it a nostalgic classic feel. There are evident inspirations consistently seeded throughout the project, from Mary Shelley to Bram Stoker, and it is a pure love letter to this storytelling style.

This film helped to give Burton his sense of creativity and passion back, as it had been some time since he had generated something so creative, fun and on-brand for him.

It falls relatively low on the list only because its narrative is a little mundane as compared to the rest of the films Burton has generated.
