What's your review of the Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street?
Sweeney Todd (based on A String of Pearls by Thomas Peckett Prest) is my favourite film ever. This is partly because of my eternal love for Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter, but also because the musical songs are amazing and the story combines everything I love! Did you see the trailer and then rush to see the full movie or buy the DVD or blu ray? I’d love to know your review if you saw it in the cinema or streamed it online!
If you know anywhere to stream or watch Sweeney Todd full movie online free (and legally!), feel free to share this information!
