DVD Description
A dark and enthralling tale of love, obsession, murder and ultimately redemption. Based on a real-life serial killer from 18th century London, Sweeney Todd tells the story of the murderous barber of Fleet Street, east London, who slashes the necks of his unsuspecting victims whilst they are sat in his chair. When Mrs Lovett, a young lady who isn't too choosy about her men, or the source of meat for her pies, is installed in a shop next door to Sweeney's thriving business, the pair forge a complex and destructive partnership; and customers begin to disappear with alarming regularity. Body parts begin to appear in the Fleet River and with the threat of capture upon him Sweeney Todd is unable to run away from the monster inside and his murderous spree intensifies, threatening the lives of all around him.

Format:DVD
A great DVD, closer to the original story than Mr. Depps offering with far better characters and a superb performance from Ray Winston. I first saw this on TV and had to have a copy. Highly recommended. Meat Pies may never be the same again!

Ray Winstone at his best yet again, a faultless portrayal of the Demon Barber, BUT my one crititism and the reason that I bought the dvd was the Directors Cut description. However, The Directors Cut is EXACTLY as the transmitted version and I feel cheated. so if you saw the TV edition then the Directors Cut just does not deliver, there are NO extras what so ever, but if you like Ray Winstone as I do then buy it.

Ray Winstone does another wonderful job at taking you into the life of his character. Set in 18th century London Sweeny Todd is a respected Barber, but little do the people around him know the real Mr Todd. The relationship that Todd forms with Mrs Lovett proves to be symbiotic. The constant need both Todd and Lovett rely upon, pulls them to their demise.

Good except for B movie syle and unncessary sound effects
Ray Winstone is quite convincing in this depiction of Sweeney Todd. The addition of a love story actually compliments the murder aspect. Read more
