Second Sweeney Todd Trailer Hits

A second trailer for Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd has hit Youtube, which you can watch either below or here{ =nofollow}.

The video quality's terrible, but the content is terrific. This one takes a very different tack to the first, really hammering home the fact that, if Burton's done this right (and we can't imagine material more suited to him), then this should be terrifying as well as a bit toe-tapping. This one features no singing, just lots of character stuff from Depp as the demon barber. And we likes what we sees.

We wondered whether Depp could come across as suitably frightening, since we've never seen him take on a character both quirky and genuinely creepy, rather than comically creepy, before. But he seems to have nailed it. And that last shot? Eeeeww.

Apparently, we'll be seeing a variety of these trailers playing up the various aspects of the film, e.g. horror, music etc. Getting very excited about this one now. Weeeee!
