Creepy tendencies

Why is it that I really enjoy Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange:


Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd:


but as anybody else, e.g., her role in Mighty Aphrodite, she does nothing for me?  I must have a penchant for evil and death.

As for Sweeney Todd, I found it well-made with several good performances, but Sondheim is simply not for me.
