For Sweeny Todd, the revenge is bitter and cruel

I waited for this one to come out on video, then saw it on satellite pay per view. The story carried me through to the end. Acting was top notch. It's a Tim Burton film so you expect some dark humor, and there is. Imagine a fresh killed corpse hurtling down the chute to the basement where it hits concrete head first, rocketing out volumes of blood through the large hole in the just-cracked skull. The first time, it was funny.
Helena Bonham Carter's Mrs. Lovett character is, perhaps, the most interesting. Why does she support Depp's Todd so willingly? She loves him and thus becomes his co-conspirator in this bloody tale of revenge. And there is revenge... but in the end, there is this bloody emptiness.....
