The legendary tale of a barber who return from wrongful imprisonment to 1840s London, bent on revenge for the rape and death of his wife, and resumes his trade while forming a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett.

One of those film that will made think as it is thought provoking, it might feel like a typical slasher film but it also a serial killer type of film, if you mixed them together you got this film which is utterly compelling, it is totally believable and it is engrossing from the start.

2.The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Mikael Blomkvist begins by talking to the man’s relatives who were there when the girl went missing, but some of them are forthcoming. Blomkvist eventually believes that her disappearance might have something to do with some serial killings that took place 20 years before she disappearance, he also team up with a hacker named Lisbeth Salander. Personally if you get past the brutal scenes, there is a gripping film that is generally tense and it is unpredictable, the pacing is just perfect and it never get too overcomplicated with the story.

1.Burke And Hare

Based on a true story of the famous murderers, William Burke, and William Hare as they fall into the highly – profitable business of providing cadavers for the medical fraternity in 19^th century Edinburgh. Quietly this is a slow burner and this is laugh out loud funny and it has got an all-British cast, it might not be for everyone but it didn’t take itself too seriously and the soundtrack is fantastic, it also have got a brilliant ending and it has got a post credit scenes, it is fun and the horror element mixed in with the comedy aspect, it certainly work really well in this film.
