It has been quite a while since I seen this one... but been wanting to every since upgrading to the blu-ray a couple months ago. Being a Tim Burton film it is definitely a little on the different side... but in a good way. I think Johnny Depp did a fantastic job in the title role... really so did the entire cast. Which has many familiar faces. In my opinion this one must be seen at least once. So definitely recommended.

Until this movie was given to me I didn't even know they made it. But I was pretty excited when it was offered to me as I did enjoy the first one (My Review for The Glass House). So I went into this one hoping for a good movie. And I feel I definitely got that. It has been a while since I saw the first one. But I think this is one of those rare cases where I enjoyed this one a bit more then the first one. I never heard of the actress that played the teen girl (Jordan Hinson) in this one... but the one that played her little brother (Bobby Coleman) looked rather familiar to me. Turns out he was in the short lived TV Series Surface. I was a little concerned since I never hear of her before... but Jordan Hinson did a fine job in the role. Bobby Coleman done a fine job as well... but his part really was much smaller. I also liked Angie Harmon in the role of "The Good Mother." I would definitely say this one is worth checking out.

I always enjoyed this episode a lot. Ghost Willow was especially great. And a helpless Buffy was also interesting to see.

I think it's great they introduce the Ripper side to Giles. The last few episodes, Giles was becoming the butt of too many jokes.
