Sweeney Todd (2006)
Sweeney Todd is a 2006 drama starring Ray Winstone, Essie Davis, David Warner, and Tom Hardy. It is based on the Penny Dreadful villain in the 1800s. This is not the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp version. This version is not lighthearted or a musical but is quite sad and a tragic story. I watched it on Amazon Prime.

I can't remember if I saw a theater production of Sweeney Todd. I have seen the Burton/Depp version. Not really my cuppa
ReplyDeleteNo, the Depp version isn't my cuppa either. I liked him better in his pre-Pirates aspect. This one is different.
Delete...I've had my share of sad and a tragic stories lately.
ReplyDeleteAt least we know how this one turns out ;)
DeleteI saw part of this but gave up....Have a nice day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteNot everybody's cuppa tea.
DeleteI think this could be called almost horror. Even the musical doesn't really lighten up the story too much.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree this is a type of horror. And a tragic tale imo.
DeleteI watched for about five minutes, but found it too depressing for me. Thanks for sharing it, though.
ReplyDeleteNot a cheerful story, that's certain.
DeleteOh, I have seen this version, too. Very dark, more psychological, and gruesome. Would not want to watch again.
ReplyDeleteYes, not the light-hearted musical romp people might've expected.
DeleteI loved the Broadway musical -- such a powerful score, but not the Burton film so much. This very different version looks quite intriguing to me. What a fabulous cast. I haven't seen Essie Davis in anything since the Miss Fisher Mysteries -- I'd love to see her in this one.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see her in something else :) Sweeney Todd has had several adaptations.
