Harry Knowles who has seen Tim Burton's latest film 'Sweeney Todd' has declared it 'Tim Burton’s best film since ED WOOD'.
It is that perfect subject matter for him… a hybrid of Disney and Bava and Corman. In structure it is a sweeping love story between a young innocent man and a caged would be Repunzel… but then there’s that rare character that you never see in a Disney fantasy musical. A bitter psychopathic father figure that is out to revenge the horror of his own life. I would call this Tim Burton’s Grimmest Fairy Tale.
Harry also points out that almost the entire film is musical.
