A tale of love and murder in 18th century London. Ray Winstone plays Sweeney Todd, the infamous demon barber of Fleet Street.

Living in the shadow of Newgate Prison, Sweeney Todd tries to carve out a quiet and simple life, until his past comes back to haunt him and he is unable to quell his desire to kill. His love for the beautiful Mrs Lovett might save him, but when body parts are found in the Fleet River and the Bow Street Runners investigate, Sweeney is unable to run away from the monster inside. Indeed his murderous spree only intensifies, threatening the lives of those around him, including Mrs Lovett. Show less
