Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) follows the dark and twisted tale of Benjamin Barker, a barber who returns to London after being wrongfully imprisoned for 15 years. Rebranding himself as Sweeney Todd, he seeks revenge against the corrupt Judge Turpin who ruined his life and took his wife and daughter from him.

Mrs. Lovett then uses the bodies to make her meat pies, which become a grim culinary sensation.
➱ STAFF REVIEW:
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), directed by Tim Burton, is a visually stunning and haunting musical that combines dark humor with gothic horror. Johnny Depp delivers a captivating performance as the vengeful barber, bringing both menace and vulnerability to the role. Helena Bonham Carter is equally impressive as Mrs. Lovett, balancing macabre wit with a tragic longing. The film's rich production design, atmospheric cinematography by Dariusz Wolski, and the memorable score by Stephen Sondheim create an immersive and chilling experience. Sweeney Todd is a masterful adaptation of the classic musical, offering a unique blend of horror and musical artistry.
