Title: review: Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Post by: Nessa on December 19, 2007, 04:24:11 PM
see it here: http://www.timewastersguide.com/review/1615/Sweeney-Todd

What a nicely written review, I hope to see more reviews by gardenninja.

That being said, I likely won't see it and not because of the review (or rather, because the review so kindly details the movie's content), but because of the gore. Which I can't endure without queasiness.

This looks like so much fun, but I will never get to see it.  Why do so many movies that look so good have to be rated R?  I guess rivers of blood will do that.

Very well written review!

It's enough to make me want to see it, although I'm must admit that I'm not a fan of gore. At all. I prefer my horror films to be more suspense than blood and guts. Being grossed out is not fun at all. But that's just me!

Just out of curiousity, what is the age limit of an "R" rating in the 'States? Here in Manitoba, I was legal at 18, although I'm 21 now.

Tage, we'll go see it with you.  I want to see it again, even though it turned my stomach.

I am almost sure you said, right after you got back, that you would never watch it again.

However, I may take you up on your offer. Assuming you and Drew aren't going crazy with wedding plans.
