IN PROGRESS
An elderly woman tells an ostensibly true story to her granddaughter of a young man named Edward with scissors for hands, the creation of an inventor. The inventor was inspired to make an artificial man due to the anthropomorphic appearance of his other inventions, giving him his unusual hands because actual hands are very difficult to create. He raised Edward as his son and tutored him in various subjects, but had a heart attack and died while in the act of revealing a pair of real hands to Edward, leaving him doomed to be "unfinished" forever. Many years after, local Avon saleswoman Peg Boggs, after failing to make profits in her suburban neighborhood, visits a Gothic mansion on a hill. There, she finds Edward, and convinces him to let her take him in. Edward befriends Peg's young son Kevin, her husband Bill and, after an initial misstep, their teenage daughter Kim.
Peg's neighbours become thrilled at Edward's masterful skills at hedge clipping and haircutting. However, two of the townspeople, a religious fanatic named Esmeralda and Kim's jock boyfriend Jim, dislike him immediately. Joyce, a promiscuous neighbor, suggests that Edward open a haircutting salon with her. While examining a proposed site, she attempts to seduce him, confusing Edward, who escapes the room in a state of panic. Edward attempts to bring up the subject of her actions while the family is having dinner, but no one reacts to the news.
Wanting money for a van, Jim takes advantage of Edward's ability to pick locks and breaks into his father's house. The burglar alarm sounds but everybody except Edward escapes, despite Kim's angry insistence that they return for him. Edward is arrested, but released when a psychological examination reveals that his isolation allowed him to live without a traditional sense of ethics. The arresting officer, Allen, befriends the timid Edward, sensing his intrinsic goodness. Meanwhile, infuriated by Edward's rejection, Joyce gets revenge on Edward by claiming that he tried to rape her. This, added to the "break-in", causes many of the neighbours to question his personality. During Christmas, Edward is feared by almost everyone around him except the Boggs family, making him and the family outcasts.
While the family is setting up Christmas decorations, Edward carves an incredibly detailed ice sculpture from a large block of ice. The ice shavings create the effect of falling snow, under which Kim dances. Jim catches Kim's attention, whereupon Edward accidentally cuts Kim's hand. Jim assumes that Edward deliberately harmed her, and uses this as a pretext to attack Edward in a jealous rage. The situation worsens when Kevin is almost run over by Jim's drunken friend. Edward pushes Kevin out of the way, accidentally cutting his face in the process, causing witnesses to assume he was attacking the boy. Edward, told by Kim, flees back to his hill-top mansion. The neighbours, riled up into an angry mob started by Jim, follow him. Officer Allen unsuccessfully attempts to turn them back by giving them the impression that Edward is dead. He fires his gun a few times and tries to tell them that it's all over. They don't believe him and want to see for themselves and so continue up to the mansion.
Kim heads to the mansion before the neighbors can get there and reunites with Edward. Jim follows them and attacks Edward, who does not retaliate until Jim hurts Kim. Edward kills him quickly, stabbing him and throwing him through a window, the first directly hostile act he is shown making. Kim professes her love for Edward, and, to save him, convinces the townspeople that Edward and Jim killed each other in the fight by telling them that the roof had caved in by showing them a disembodied scissor-hand similar to his. All the neighbours return to their homes, while Joyce is seen feeling guilty and ashamed for making up the rumour about Edward. The elderly woman from the beginning reappears, as she finishes telling her granddaughter the story. It is revealed that Edward is still alive, apparently immortal, and "creating snow" from his ice sculptures, which fall upon the valley below. The elderly woman reveals to her granddaughter that she is, in fact, Kim. She chooses not to visit Edward because she wants Edward to remember her the way she was in her youth - wikipedia
