Here's a spooky mystery that will tickle your funny bone. It is a ghost story, a murder mystery and a comedy all rolled into one, with a garnish of romance. When the blood drips and the mist sets in, it gets really spooky. And when the policeman is at work, it's all about catching a serial killer. And when neither is happening, romance takes over, subtly.What we will tell you is that it is a multi-layered story that goes back and forth in Craig's mind. We will also tell you that love blossoms in this weird township.But the one thing that we just have to tell you is that Depp is brilliant. It is the close up of his face that will tell you the whole story. His expressions are the only indicators of the fluctuations in the script, as it veers from being gory to outright funny.Of course, it wouldn't have been such an interesting film if Tim Burton hadn't directed it right. The film has a scary feel to it all through and yet you won't come out of the theatre shrieking and afraid to go back home alone. Watch it, it's different.- ANURADHA NAGARAJ
