Another classic, in a different sort of way. Where The Nightmare Before Christmas was an instant classic for it's story and art, Sweeney Todd has been around for a long time. First penned back in the 19th Century, Sweeney Todd has been portrayed hundreds of times on Broadway and on the big screen. This time around we get another Tim Burton film accompanied by his good wife and best friend, Helene Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp, in a chilling rendition. The witty banter between the two characters is so believable and charming that it almost escapes you for a moment that they're singing about baking their murder victims into meat pies and selling it in the shop. Even the cheery parts are dreadful, in a good way, which is a good indication that these characters are so pleasantly demented you can't help but love and fear them at the same time. I advise Sweeney Todd for those above the age of 17 (total goody goody here) and those who love cheery singing mixed with murder. Ta~
Scare Rating: 8/10, do I need to give a reason?
