I wish that I could rate this better but whilst it's striving for an Edward Scissorhands vibe it falls short. It's stilted at best, despite strong performances. Kathryn Newton keeps surprising as the new queen of scream with a fabulous supporting cast although Cole Sprous felt somewhat under-utilised and there were a couple of plot holes that weren't resolved which could have been explored more. I think it's the script that lets it down, laugh out loud moments are few and far between so it's amusing rather than truly funny and it ended rather abruptly. Diablo Cody is famous for Jennifer's Body and that film felt a lot tighter and darker than this.
