“Sweeney Todd is as much a horror film as a musical. It is also something close to a masterpiece.”—New York Times
Everything comes together in Tim Burton’s masterwork: a strong adaptation of the blood-drenched, Tony Award-winning musical; Oscar-winning art direction; and Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter leading a talented cast. The famous story of the psychotic, vengeful barber (Depp) and his demented foil, the pie-maker Mrs. Lovett (Carter), is ideal material for Burton’s vividly Gothic imagination; he proves equally adept at realizing the intricate musicality of Sondheim and Wheeler’s original production.
