“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”

Here’s the deal, don’t take anyone that’s squeamish. I thought it was a fantastic film treatment of a darkly comic musical but the blood really does gush and flow going so far as to splatter the camera in one of the shots. A great film for fans of the macabre but definitely not for their girlfriends (sorry, Jan!). Yet another argument for owning the entire Tim Burton collection.

For a fantastic review of the movie, check out the Mumpsimus. While I do not know the play as well and think he underestimates the gore, I agree wholeheartedly with the rest of his sentiments.
