Sweeney Todd (The Director's Cut) [DVD]

A dark and enthralling tale of love, obsession, murder and ultimately redemption. Based on a real-life serial killer from 18th century London, Sweeney Todd tells the story of the murderous barber of Fleet Street, east London, who slashes the necks of his unsuspecting victims whilst they are sat in his chair. When Mrs Lovett, a young lady who isn't too choosy about her men, or the source of meat for her pies, is installed in a shop next door to Sweeney's thriving business, the pair forge a complex and destructive partnership; and customers begin to disappear with alarming regularity. Body parts begin to appear in the Fleet River and with the threat of capture upon him Sweeney Todd is unable to run away from the monster inside and his murderous spree intensifies, threatening the lives of all around him.
