Review of Vincent

Vincent (1982)
8/10
Not for the under 10's - but impressive.

This is a very spooky stop motion short that makes you think a great deal... It is an animation worth watching. It is worth watching for historical purposes, as this is one of Tim Burton's first films. It is worth watching if you enjoy animation that is not aimed for children - and that is spooky - but not spooky enough to give you nightmares (unless of course you have a faint heart). I personally enjoyed this for the effective stop motion, the black and white filming, the story and the fact that you can perceive it in just about any way possible.

Vicent Malloy is a good young boy, but he has disturbed, adult thoughts coursing constantly through his mind. He has mental horrors with him every minute and this makes him a bad person as well. The boy in this animation is seven years old, but no seven year old should watch this.

This can be seen on the same DVD as "The Nightmare Before Christmas", which is very convenient. I recommend this - but if you are particularly afraid of ghosts and are constantly thinking about them as well, this would probably make you feel horrified. Enjoy "Vincent"! :-)
