The Sweeney Todd review - by Imagination!

Like most of the other Tim Burton's movies, the ones with Johnny Depp, this is not al that differnet. They all have the same macabre element in them and the effects are bound to cause the spectators to jump up, not in joy but in fear.

This movie and the review I am posting here is based on the reviews that my friends had passed on to me, as I am yet to see the movie myself. Lets take a walk back and see the other Burton movies with Johnny Depp and you will see that they all are based on the dark underworld with lots of slimy things crawling to get out of that movie screen and get to you!

This movie is all about a barber who goes nuts and is determined to invoke Vengance on the persons responsible for the destruction of his family. I have to say that seeing the trailer, with Johnny Depp saying 'Vengance will be mine' or something like that, it does send the shivers down one's body.

Johnny Depp has acted with the same intensity that one could see in the movie 'Edward Scissorhands'.
Or lets take the movie 'Sleepy Hollow', in that Johnny Depp plays the part of the intense but bumbling detective who finds it hard to believe that there is a 'Headless horseman'. All of the above are Tim Burton's movies and they all have a dark theme.

The Demon Barber, that is 'Sweeney Todd', is not all that different.
From what my friends have told me, it is as equally disturbing as the Sleepy hollow, even more. Just think about it, we all go to the barbers for a haircut or a shave, the barber has total control over us in the sense we trust him or her implicitly and allow them to approach us at very close quarters with a sharp instrument.

So what is there to prevent the barber in question from doing a 'Sweeney Todd' on any of us. I am yet to see it but have heard enough to know that I shall definitely look forward to seeing the Demon Barber in action. Revenge is indeed a dish that is better served cold!
