Ever wondered what the love child of Lily Munster and Russell Brand would look like?

Well wonder no more, as we have our answer.

I’m not really one for musicals (or horror really), but I’ll have to admit that I quite enjoyed the musical horror that is Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

The (unsung) summary of the plot is that Benjamin Barker is leading a happy life. He’s a great barber with a wife and child and everything in his world is just peachy. Until that is, an evil judge (who has a thing for his wife) sends Barker off to prison on false charges. 15 years later, when Barker is set free and his wife has long since died, his alter ego wants revenge…

Ok, it’s bloody. Very bloody actually. But it’s dark and visually brilliant. Some songs are catchy. Some are funny. Others are just, well shall we say, not so good. That’s fine though, because there’s lots of blood to make up for it. Oh, and Sacha Baron Cohen is just pure gold.

Go watch it, or I’ll whip my Mach 3 Turbo out and… “I will have vengeance! I will have salvation!”

8.5/10.
