Goddlefrood:
It's certainly a film I will go and see based not only on what's 
been written here, but also on the fact that this is a deeply 
entrenched part of the English culture.

Sweeney Todd, btw, was also known as the demon barber of 
Fleet Street, so that might also be a pointer as to what 
the film contains. He sent his victims to the pie shop 
next door for the delectation of the local populace, pies 
that were often served with a nice glass of chianti (slurp, 
slurp, slurp).

I've known about the story since I was a very small boy and 
would tentatively suggest that a 13 year old could handle it 
well enough, particularly if, as stated by others, the gore 
is stylised.
