In another Sweeny Todd thread back when someone highly recommended that version. I was tempted but it is not musical nor is there a comic theme running through it. So I decided to pass. Without Sondheim's music and the comic aspect of Mrs. Lovett and her meat pies it becomes a horror movie. Reviewers of the DVD on amazon mostly gave it high praise for the performances but also said it was very bloody. I can do without that.
