Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

So when I sat down last night to watch Sweeney Todd, I had absolutely no idea that it was based on a Broadway musical. Shows just how little I knew about it. All I really knew was it was a Tim Burton film, with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (gee…how original), and plenty of blood.

My ignorance aside, I really enjoyed it, not exactly your typical musical though. Overall it is very recognisable as a Burton film, although I was a little disappointed there wasn’t more blood, but then again it is more of a crime thriller than an outright horror movie.

Would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s not afraid of a little gore.
