Sweeney Todd-The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

The dynamic duo team up yet again. This is their sixth adventure together and it doesn't get any better than this. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have been doing movies together for years.

Sweeney Todd is based on the Broadway musical about a barber who exacts revenge on the man who took his daughter away.

The film opens with Sweeney Todd arriving in London and he finds his way to Mrs Lovett's Bakery. Together, they hatch a plan to seek revenge on Judge Turpin, played deliciously by Alan Rickman.

Sweeny Todd is similar to the old monster films like Frankenstein and the Wolfman. The key to the success of Tim Burton is his twisted tales of the macabre that really makes the audience cheer for the "bad guy"

Watch out for an hilarious cameo by Sacha Baron Cohen(Borat).
