When he returns to his home town, he reopens his barber shop, where Mr. Todd becomes the Demon of Fleet Street. Mrs. Lovett is Sweeney's amorous accomplice who creates diabolical meat pies out of the remains of Mr. Todd's victims.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Over the top gore, stylized, interesting submitted by cherylo on August 2, 2011, 8:53pm Bloody to the point of caricature, this somewhat abridged version of Sondheim's play of the same name is an interesting version. The performances are uniformly great, if stylized at times, and I especially appreciated Sacha Baren Cohen (Of Borat fame) as a rival barber. For those into this sort of thing, you will love it, and if making a (sick) joke out of unbearable tragedy is not your thing, neither is this.

sweeny todd submitted by hcf on August 2, 2014, 4:49pm depp is good but i felt like it was a bit too gory

excellent johnny depp movie submitted by Jackie77 on August 10, 2015, 8:51pm Johhny did an awesome job bringing this movie to life. Im not a fan of musicals but this was great. Not too much singing that it was overpowering.

EH submitted by kelleyc on July 15, 2016, 5:12pm Another Tim Burton movie. Exactly what you'd expect.

Ugh submitted by karenkay on July 16, 2016, 2:51pm Well done but quite the disturbing story

Good, buy gory, musical submitted by Xris on April 3, 2019, 7:48pm I love the actors that are the main characters in this musical. Nice to hear them singing and doing a good job! It was a bit on the overly gory side, but Tim Burton does good films. I see what other people like in it.

Sweeney Todd submitted by SBNB on June 21, 2019, 10:25am Weird, weird movie. I watched it once, and I don’t need to watch it again.

Classic submitted by Rumshaker13 on June 29, 2019, 11:25pm Love the music and very well done. Note, the plot is a bit twisted, but exactly how I remember reading it in school

Not bad submitted by zmclaugh on July 17, 2019, 12:02pm Some nice shots and some good music.

Sweeney Todd 2007 dvd submitted by a2sue on July 21, 2019, 11:00am The 2007 dvd of Sweeney Todd, was alright, but I found it a little lacking. Johnny Depp is always fun to watch on film, though...
