EDWARD SCISSOR HANDS

Edward scissor hands can visually be seen as being heavily influenced by German Expressionist theories due to the darkness within the play and scenes which leave the audience hanging on the edge of their chairs which is similar to films like The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari as in that we wondered who was the killer and every time we got close to finding out there was a switch in how the story got told. Similarly in Edward Scissor Hands we want to see Edward get out of the trouble with the crime he did not commit but watch to find out who actually did it.
