Bloodthirsty Butchers
1970 Annabella Wood
An unusual alliance between SWEENY TODD, the local barber, and MAGGIE LOVETT, who runs an innocuous appearing bake shop, has wreaked havoc in London and has also resulted in some of the most unusual "meat pies" available anywhere in town.
Several people have never been seen after they enter SWEENY's barber shop, and it becomes evident why, when MATT McKEON is literally butchered for a ring desired by SWEENY.
MAGGIE's curious assistant, TOBIAS REGG, the 1'head" butcher, has a propensity for blood curdling murders, and in brisk succession does away MAGGIE's invalid husband, SWEENY's wife, his own girlfriend, and others who eventually find their way back to the bakeshop.
The butcher's prime cuts are curious indeed, as we learn when some of MAGGIE's customers come to the shop for their pies, demanding "the part they like best".
MAGGIE's salesgirl, innocent JOANNA, is having a torrid Jove affair with JARVIS WILLIAMS, and it is the strength of this relationship that proves to be the downfall of the butchers.
The eye-witness discovery of some of the
|
brutal crimes at the same time as JARVIS' mysterious disappearance alerts the community as to the responsibility for the carnage and cannibalism.
Just before JOANNA and the police arrive to save JARVIS, TOBlAS and SWEENY murder each other in a demonstration of the most imaginative butchery, inconceivable by anyone other than the Bloodthirsty Butchers.
