I was finally able to watch Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, a Lyon, last night with a friend, hats off - rather, heads off - to Tim Burton once again. It was gripping. Perfectly horrible.
I knew i had to watch it in the cinema. This is not something you watch in a dvd, unless you have a kick ass home entertainment system. He has creatively merged gore, fantasy, and a bit of comedy which will leave you reaching out for a hankie feeling blood is spewed all over you. High contrast, the all out feeling of gloom through out the movie, and swooping camera shots that he has made to be Tim Burton through and through.
I’m reluctant to say that it was beautiful in all of its horrifying glory.
