I didn't mind the blood so much as the dropping on the head. But I 
loved it--Sweeney Todd is my favorite musical ever. It's brilliant!

It has a kid in it, btw, a part usually played by an adult tenor. They 
could make him a little boy in the movie and he's great, but he is an 
alcoholic who eventually murders someone by slitting his throat.

I'd say as a parent to be sure you might want to see it yourself if 
you're wondering. You could probably decide how well your child 
handles stylized violence and lots and lots 'o blood. (I swear Alan 
Rickman's character seemed to be harder to kill than Jason Voorhees!)
