Out of the corner of my eye

A dark musical with occasional comic elements to keep the mood from sinking too far, this gloomy story describes the revenge of Sweeney Todd the barber, a blood soaked tale of anguish, rage and damnation. Starring Johnny Depp as Sweeney and Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, his tragic partner in crime, this film is a must see!

Characterisation was simply beautiful; the plot wove the innocents of the cast in and out of the main plot line with deftness and believability, while the villains danced their sombre waltz of complete moral breakdown: lust, vengeance, blackmail, murder, and betrayal. The depiction of Todd carrying out his grisly work caused exclamations of dismay from some of the audience in the cinema. Excellent!

Fancy a pie, sir?
