Whether horror fans are ready for high-notes or musical

Whether horror fans are ready for high-notes or musical buffs will appreciate Dario Argento levels of gore is an open question, but this is a rich, demented experience. This Sweeney Todd DVD is all subtext and no substance. It starts off large and swaggering but doesnt know where to turn next: Burton seems fixated on serving up an event, to the extent that he neglects to dig into the story. Did I mention lately how very much I love Tim Burtons brain? Few could have taken, would have dared to take, a musical stage play of this depth and managed to make it into such a beautiful film. Burton and his gang have though. Read On-> A thoughtful, sincere and moving film, buttressed by a fine, central performance by an actor at the top of his form. Unparalleled visual splendor, a bloody red-velvet fever dream of a musical for people who think they HATE musicals.
