Visually great but a corny & empty disappointment.

Well, here we are again as the eccentric film director Tim Burton works alongside close friend Johnny Depp for the 8th consecutive time. Yet, we were in for a special treat in 2012 seeing as Dark Shadows is a vampire film and with Burton as director and Depp in the leading role, it could have turned out a dream come true! However, upon the release of the official theatrical trailer, it became almo... read more

A good movie

I didn't really know what to expect from this flick before watching it. I mean, I have never seen the TV show it is based on and, frankly, even though I have seen every single movie directed by Tim Burton, it has been a while that he really did blow me away. Furthermore, the (terribly misleading) trailer gave me the feeling that it would be a straight comedy reminiscent of 'The Addams Familly' whi... read more

A structural and tonal mess

"Two centuries ago, I made Collinwood my home... until a jealous witch cursed me, condemning me to the shadows, for all time."

Dark Shadows is one strange flick. It's Burton-esque in the truest sense, yet it's a far cry from the genius usually associated with this descriptor. The eighth collaboration of director Tim Burton and star Johnny Depp, Dark Shadows is an utter mess; narrati... read more

"Format: Blu-Ray Viewing: 2nd Thoughts: Second time seeing this and damn is this a lot of fun. It's probably one of the best Burton flicks to come out in the last ten years. This time around I found the movie to be most enjoyable during Barnaby Collins' modern times (1972) culture shock (like when he calls Alice Cooper the ugliest woman he's ever seen, haha!). It's cozy in that Beetlejuice sense, gothic horror mixed with dark comedy elements. Eva Green lighting up the screen with her sexiness. Pa"

"Rich playboy Barnabas Collins earns the wrath of Angelique, a witch, when he breaks her heart. She turns him into a vampire and buries him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas escapes to settle scores. This is yet another Burton/Depp collaboration that is based on the classic 60's/70's TV gothic soap opera. And you'd think that being based on a whole TV series it would give the writers plenty of story to utilise, yet, this movie has what barely could be considered a plot. It's also all over the"
