A fun dark movie from before Burton jumped the shark. It has his signature style and the mood of the setting is excellent, enjoyed the casting, acting, plot, and pacing.
In an episode of Happy Days, The Fonz goes water skiing, encounters a shark, and jumps over it in the water skis. It marked a moment of dramatic decline in the show’s overall quality, and the term has been used since for any such point in time where something is identifiably worse after a specific event.

It was a stunt, not a random encounter type of thing. Very hyped at the time.
