Also he slits the throat of the a random beggar woman. he stabs a man in his jugular with a razor three times, then slashes his throat. Sweeney Todd throws someone in an oven, and you see them burning. a characters throat is slit by another angry young man. There is lot's of blood in this movie, and the violence is meant to look artistic, yet graphic.

4 scatological terms. Mild profanities are spoken (d**n, h**l, s**t)

We see several men sitting in stupor, and there's smoke in the air, in what could be an opium den. A boy drinks alcohol in several scenes and in one scene he drinks enough to pass out on the floor, a man drinks alcohol, people drink ale in a restaurant in a few scenes, and people dance and drink alcohol at a party.

The themes of the film are vengeance and murder. The throat slittings are disturbing. Todd also stabs a man in the neck very brutally, and two men are beaten badly, one to the point of unconsciousness. A woman is thrown into a furnace and we see her burn (This isn't very graphic but is still very disturbing). A young boy is trapped in a dungeon filled with bloody bodies for a period of time. A young boy slits the neck of a man. You see girls locked in a asylum, their hair is cut for wigs and they are all scared.

SPOILER*******SPOILER***********SPOILER*********SPOILER******SPOILER

near the end of the film, a young boy slits a mans throat. this may be quite disturbing to some viewers, seeing as he does it without any resistance and the fact that killing this man had no affect on him what so ever
