# Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)

2007 · R · 116 min · Drama, Horror, Music, Crime, Thriller · United Kingdom, United States


## Synopsis

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a 2007 Gothic musical slasher film directed by Tim Burton from a screenplay by John Logan, based on the stage musical of the same name by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler, which in turn is based on the 1970 play Sweeney Todd by Christopher Bond. The film retells the melodramatic Victorian tale of Sweeney Todd, an English barber and serial killer. After arriving in London, Todd seeks revenge on Judge Turpin who wrongfully convicted and exiled him in order to steal his wife. Sweeney Todd murders his customers and, with the help of his accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, processes their corpses into meat pies. The film marks the first collaboration between Depp, Bonham Carter, Rickman, Spall, and Baron Cohen.
