    Dark Shadows



    In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Brouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.

    Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.

    Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David’s new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

    Never seen the original show, but the movie looks kinda fun. Kinda surprised that it's a comedy though, didn't really expect that until I saw the trailer.

    I don't think it was a comedy when it was a show, I've never seen it either. But it's a Tim Burton movie right? So I'll end up watching it, plus Johnny Depp.

    Yeah, I talked to my dad about this, he said the show wasn't like what the trailer is about at all. Leave it to Burton to make it his own thing, I'm really hoping this is like an old Burton movie and not his new shit.

    Burton and Depp, I'm there. Depp looks to be back in form once again here. This should be fun!

    I wasn't expecting this to be a comedy but I will keep an open mind and watch it when it comes out.

    The original was a drama, very soap opera like. This is nothing like the feel of the original, Tim Burton's spin on it. I liked the original, I used to watch it in re-runs in the 80's, I will definitely check this out, looks hysterical.

    Trailer has been getting alot of backlash from fans. My mom is obsessed with the the dark shadows movies and they were really dark and creepy. This looks like a comedy, looks pretty bad.

    Dark Shadows (2012): 0/10

    I think it irritates people that this movie made me so mad, but honestly? Movie makers are insulting us by creating this crap, giving it a name that gets us excited and then mashing together a bunch of mismatched images in editing that ends up being an abortion of a movie. The make up was BAD, the wardrobe was uninspired and the movie had NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING to do with Dark Shadows the tv series. It also had no substance. It was badly edited fluff with a lot of glittery names. BTW Johnny Depp in a Tim Burton film? Can we get a new team please?

    If it wasn't for a friends birthday this movie would have been the second movie I have ever walked out of, the first being Zombieween.

    Just caught this -- I thought it was alright. I enjoyed it to some extent, but felt like the flick suffered from a bit of an identity crises. It certainly started off as horror but then went the more comedic route and pretty much stayed that way until it ended. Of course that didn't come as a surprise considering the trailer was primarily a comedy anyway. However, only SOME of the comedy actually worked, while most of it just seemed forced or cheesy. There was also absolutely NO character development for any of these people. It was pretty much just about Barnabas and Angelique's love/hate relationship, with this story of a cursed family's dead business and lots of random comedic fish-outta-water moments thrown in. 6/10

    I thought this wasn't terrible for a mindless piece of fun, doubt I would ever watch it again though.
