The greatest slasher film and musical!

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2020)

This film is so edgy, bloody, comedic and everything I could expect from a Tim Burton flick! It's a heck of a lot of fun and one of his most enjoyable films yet! It's up there as one of his most violent films he has ever made, right there next to Sleepy Hollow. Heads don't roll in this absolute masterpiece of a slasher film, necks get sliced and Sweeney Todd is out in London to get revenge on the person who did this to his wife. He claims "Benjamin Barker is dead, it's Todd now, Sweeney Todd."
It's one of the greatest performances in a Tim Burton movie and also one of my favourite performances ever in cinematic history. I first saw this movie when I was 10 and I had nightmares, my neck always felt weird when Depp was slashing throats and still does. "At last...my arm is complete again." I love the feel of this film, the weather, you can feel it, Tim Burton always uses the camera like a master, all of the shots could be hung up on your bedroom wallpaper because of how beautiful they are.
So many characters in this film are intimidating and you feel like beating them the heck up. We get introduced to several characters, villains, including Alan Rickman's character, Timothy Spall and many others. This is one of my top 10 movies, it is so genius and everything about it screams perfection.
