To be surprised Sweeney Todd is certified 18

[LouisevilleLlama]

Randomly wanted to watch it and it's an 18, I was very surprised by what I remember of it.

Having watched it, I mean it's pretty violent still not sure it's an 18

Isn't it about a barber who slaughters his clients and makes them into pies?? Hardly U or PG material!

It's the scene where Helena Bonham Carter is burned alive that does it. The rest of the story is quite nice really.

Awful film of one of the best musicals ever written

He slits people's throats on the Barber chair! They eat people. Hardly a U.

Well there is a lot of slit throats with arterial spray and HBC is burned alive, hardly a PG.

It's very, very graphic. Much more violent that your average 15. I had to look away on multiple occasions.

To wasn't thinking U more 15

BBFC says: Several scenes depict customer's throats being slit with a razor. These scenes are generally shown in close up, sometimes in an extremely gory and bloody manner.

It's the close-up and lingering on the detail which pushes it to 18. Logan is far more violent and shabby, but no extended shots, hence 15.

I love Sweeney Todd. Some people are just too sensitive 🙄
