Come and Visit Your Good Friend Sweeney!!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2008)

Benjamin Barker (Johnny Depp) had it all, a lovely wife named Lucy (Lauren Michelle Kelly) and daughter named Johanna (Jayne Wisener . They were his reason and his life. But the corrupted and twisted Judge Turpin (Allen Rickman) takes it all away, he sends Barker to prison on a false charge.
Fifteen years later, Benjamin Barker is found floating in the sea by a sailor named Anthony Hope (Jamie Campbell Bower), Barker identifies himself as Sweeney Todd. "Sweeney Todd" returns to London for revenge. He takes back residence in the small apartment above Mrs. Lovette's (Helena Bonham Carter) meat pie shop. Sweeney wants revenge upon those that wronged him. Mrs. Lovette also wants to be more than his landlord though, she has a secret admiration for him. Sweeney begins to murder people as practice for Turpin with "his friends" (his straight razors) and Mrs. Lovette bakes the corpses into her pies and sells them to unsuspecting customers.
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is probably one of the best films I've ever seen. It is an incredible musical-thriller that could only be created in film by Tim Burton. I highly recommend this movie to Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, and horror film fans. If I could give this film more than ten stars, I would!
