Storyline
In the Victorian London, the barber Benjamin Barker is married to the gorgeous Lucy and they have a lovely child, Johanna. The beauty of Lucy attracts the attention of the corrupt Judge Turpin, who falsely accuses the barber of a crime that he did not commit and abuses Lucy later after gaining custody of her. After fifteen years in exile, Benjamin returns to London under the new identity of Sweeney Todd, seeking revenge against Turpin. He meets the widow Mrs. Lovett who is the owner of a meat pie shop who tells him that Lucy committed suicide with arsenic many years ago, and Turpin assigned himself tutor of Johanna. He opens a barber shop above her store, initiating a crime rampage against those who made him suffer and lose his beloved family. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Trivia
In some of the scenes where Sweeney opens his razor very quickly, it is a mechanical razor. There is a button Johnny Depp would press to have the razor open, which he hides with his finger. Depp personally requested the prop department design this razor for him, as he had difficulty handling the real razors. See more »Goofs
Continuity: At the start of the market scene, Mrs Lovett tells Sweeney that "he comes here every Thursday" so therefore it's Thursday in the film, however back in Sweeney's barber shop he questions why the beadle doesn't come and she replies "he said before the week is out, it's only Tuesday."
