Help figuring out a movie.......

[PolloDiablo]

It's a dark movie that takes place in possibly an english village in the late 1800's, there's bakery in the town that is famous for their meat pies but what everyone doesn't know is that they are made of human meat. One particular scene that I can remember is when a guy goes to a barber shop/wig maker and the barber kills the guy and that body is used for the meat pies. I know this isn't alot to go on but I have faith in you guys, thanks for the help.

No problem there, Devil Chicken.

If you don't know, there is actually a musical version of Sweeney Todd, written by Stephen Sondheim. Did very well for it's time, and a production was taped for cable back in the early eighties. It still pops up on TV once in a while, usually on PBS or Bravo. On April 20th, that musical version is coming on DVD. Amazon has it for 18 bucks, and IMO is totally worth it. My acting dreams are long dead, but I'd love to play Sweeney Todd just once in my life, even a little community theater production. It's one of the creepiest most unsettling musicals you'll ever see, and this one came out at a time when most musicals were usually shiny & happy.

Incidentally, there is already a DVD of the music from the musical, performed as a concert. It sounds great, but between the two, I'd say wait for April.
