A gruesome film by Tim Burton.
I have always liked his films - Big Fish, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride. But this new addition is unexpectedly violent (KIDS SHOULD NOT WATCH, I repeat, kids should not watch)!!
So, what's so special about SWEENEY TODD - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street??
It's a musical. Well, not just that, but it's a musical about a serial killer!
The film is about a barber, Benjamin Barker (played by Johnny Depp) who seeks revenge after the lustful judge imprisoned him inorder to take away his wife and daughter. And something is going on at Mrs. Lovett Meatpie shop... You gotta watch it to find out! Benjamin Barker/Sweeney Todd has his barber shop re-opened at his old flat, all his customers whom went in alone, never seems to re-appear anymore... And what happened to his wife??
I have to admit the singing were really awful at the start of the show, but fortunately it only gets better and better. Sometimes it can be quite enjoyable. Watching multiple scenes of blood squirting out of broken necks isn't really my thing... So I say even though the film has an interesting plot/style of production, I'd have turned it down should I know how "bloody" it is. What I really like about this film is the goth look of both Helena & Johnny Depp.
Pea, now I wonder what did you really fancy about this gruesome film!!
My Rating: 3/5 (not a massive fan of gruesome blood-filled scenes film)
