Description

Tim Burton's adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. After spending years in exile for a crime he didn't commit, barber Benjamin Barker (Depp) returns to London. He soon discovers from pie-maker Mrs Lovett (Bonham Carter) that in his absence his wife has taken her own life and his daughter is now in the care of the man who had him sent away: Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman).

Seeking revenge, Barker sets up a barber's shop above Mrs Lovett's premises. Now calling himself Sweeney Todd, he kills his customers with a razor to the throat and sends their bodies to the shop below to be used as a new filling in Mrs Lovett's meat pies. What was once the worst pie shop in London quickly becomes one of the city's most popular eateries, but Barker won't be satisfied until he can lure Judge Turpin into the barber's chair...
