Synopsis
Apart from a surprising change of heart and bid for sympathy at the final momen's of this version of the classic story, Todd glories in his villainies throughout and gleefully slaughters right and left until the cast is almost eliminated.
Commendably, the'story is treated seriously and 'guying' is discouraged.3 women, 8 men, 2 boys
