Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3675059, member: 2504"] Sweeney Todd (2007) - The full name of this Tim Burton directed adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical horror show is "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street". That full title gives you a pretty good idea of the bloody mayhem that you are about to encounter. This is certainly dark, dark, bloody material, and most of the characters in this story don't show much in the way of any redeeming values, but it is still all very entertaining. Given the subject matter it is a bit of a surprise that this musical does not leave you in a downbeat and sour mood after all the bloodletting, but this musical pulls it off. That has to be a tribute to Sondheim’s creation, together with Tim Burton and company in capably bringing it to the screen. [/QUOTE]
