* Some of the lyrics for "Poor Thing" have been changed. We learn from Lovett that Turpin would send Lucy flowers once a day after arresting her husband. And we see him standing in view of the flat, waiting for Lucy to appear and show her the flowers he got her for the day. But Lucy stays in the flat, crying because of what happened. The fact Turpin would purposefully wait outside her home gives the implication that poor Lucy ''couldn't even leave her home'' without running into the man who ripped her loving husband and father of her baby away from her. Which leads to...

While Anthony sings about wanting Johanna and Johanna sings about how excited she is to be eloping with him on Sunday, Sweeney Todd sings about letting go of his daughter and one of the last few threads of his humanity. It gets even sadder if you subscribe to the theory that Todd would kill Johanna if they were together.

** Sweeney Todd's reaction in general to him accidentally killing his wife. Imagine if you were in his position. You killed the person you love the most, and you had no idea it was them the whole time. Some versions have him look utterly anguished as he stands over her corpse. Some also have him cradle her body before Toby slashes his throat. The concert version has him unbutton his collar, implicitly begging for a SuicideByCop (well, by Toby).

* We get our first hints of the tragedy that befell the Barker family in the song "A Barber and His Wife."
--->'''Sweeney''': There was a barber and his wife and she was beautiful.\\
A foolish barber and his wife. She was his reason and his life. And she was beautiful.\\
And she was virtuous. And he was...naive.\\
There was another man who saw that she was beautiful.\\
A pious vulture of the law, who with a gesture of his claw, removed the barber from his plate, then there was nothing but to wait.\\
And she would fall! So soft! So young! So lost and oh, so beautiful!\\
'''Antony''': And the lady, sir? Did she succumb?\\
'''Sweeney''': Oh that was many years ago. I doubt if anyone would know.
* In the original stage production, the first thing Sweeney does when he arrives at his old home is try to run upstairs to his old flat, excited to see Lucy and Johanna again...only to find the place cold, dark and empty.

Added DiffLines:
* Most of the movie is shot with harsh and dark lighting and colors (while the "By the Sea" sequence is bright and garish, there's still dark colors present). One of the two exceptions is "A Barber and His Wife", which is a flashback showing the Barkers walking around an open market selling flowers. It then cuts to Turpin catching sight of the beautiful Lucy. For an extra dose of KickTheDog, he tells the Beadle something and then we next see two policemen immediately bludgeon Barker and drag him away. The shot is then from Barker's perspective, watching as he's dragged away from his confused and frightened wife and crying daughter and Turpin rushing to her side like a concerned bystander. It'll be the last time he sees his loving family...for ''fifteen years''.

* Depending on the performance, "Not While I'm Around" can turn into this, DarthWiki/NightmareFuel, or a combination of both: while it starts out sounding like a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming oath of love and devotion]] from Toby to Mrs. Lovett - who he sees as a mother figure - it gains a more sinister undertone once Mrs. Lovett joins him in song, and then turns even more unsettling once Toby recognizes the purse Mrs. Lovett has as Pirelli's. Mrs. Lovett realizes [[HeKnowsTooMuch he's putting the pieces together and must be killed,]] telling him she's finally going to let her help bake the pies like he's wanted to. In the 2023 revival, Annaleigh Ashford's Lovett was silently ''crying'' when this happened:
--> '''Mrs. Lovett:''' You know, dear...it's the strangest thing you coming to chat with me right now of all moments...because as I was sitting here with my needles I was thinking: "What a good boy Toby is...so hardworking...so obedient..." And I thought... ''[deep breath]''...you know how you've always fancied coming into the bakehouse with me to make the pies?
* Toby, after finding the Beadle's body, bangs on the door calling for Mrs. Lovett, begging her to let him out of the bakehouse.
** Again, specific to the 2023 revival: Creator/GatenMatarazzo's Toby took it a step further, crying out ''[[IWantMyMommy "Mummy! Mummy I'm scared!"]]''
* The fact that the only time Sweeney sees Johanna, face-to-face, since she was an infant, he doesn't recognize her and nearly kills her. Adding this to the fact that minutes before he ''did'' kill Lucy for the same reasons shows that he was literally too blinded by rage and revenge to see his family, the ones he wanted to get home to so badly, right in front of him.

* Just how ''happy'' Toby looks as he and Mrs. Lovett sing the film's version of "God, That's Good!" From his perspective, he now works for someone who cares about him, and unlike his job with Pirelli, he's advertising something that he actually thinks is good. He has no idea that the meat pies are made from human meat and he's just become a pawn for someone else's charade.
