Wow, fantastic Gothic musical!

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2008)

Wow I loved this film! So Sweeney Todd tells of a man who, after suddenly being taken and to jail after false pretenses and having his family stolen from him by Judge Turpin, vows revenge.
He sets up a 'barber shop' where he slices the men's throats, and Mrs. Lovett bakes the people into meat pies.
The acting is incredible- all the actors act superbly and sing incredibly!
I adore the look of the film- mostly monochromatic with bright splashes of red blood during murder scenes. The music is incredible of course- Sondheim is a genius!
The film is a mixture of comedy at times- the fantasy sequence, tragedy, anger, and music of course.
The ending is actually great- him dying in the arms of his former wife.
I adored the whole film- I even bought the entire soundtrack.
It should be seen!!
