Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is based on a Christopher Bond short story.
" Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B-plus in its Movie Reviews section and stated, "To stage a proper Sweeney Todd, necks must be slit, human flesh must be squished into pastries, and blood ought to spurt in fountains and rivers of death
 Todd swears revenge on the entire world, vowing to kill as many people as possible while he waits for another chance to kill Turpin ("Epiphany")
