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. Two decades pass and Barnabas 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 Bouchard.

What is with Hollywood ruining great TV shows with these jokes as movies? 21 Jump Street, Land of the Lost, The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team. I could go on. I am done. If it's a TV show made into a movie, I'll pass and save my money. Hollywood has ripped me off for the last time!
This film is a sore disappointment for fans of the 60s series who have waited 40 years for it to be brought to the silver screen. If Burton was going to move in such a radical direction from the beloved source material, why didn't he just come up with his own characters and plot lines rather than creating this abomination of a film? Apparently it's his right as an 'artiste' to do what he wants, as long as a production company is willing to throw money at it. Depp is a total joke as Barnabas, who carried an air of sophistication and class with him in the original series. While it is true that Jonathan Frid is a near impossible act to follow, Depp has twisted the character into one better suited for an amateur comic book.
Save your hard-earned money. The only place this film belongs is on the trash heap... with much of Depp and Burton's recent 'work'.

A vampire returns to the Maine town founded by his family to settle scores. A confused whirl of impressions, none leaving a mark.
