Nov 07, 2013 A stylish fantasy that featured the culture (Moody Blues, hippies, Alice Cooper etc) of 1972; fast paced events on vampire, witch, romance, obsession, family, dark secrets and a grand old mansion.

Not a big fan of Depp or Burton but this movie was very well done, interesting and entertaining. The re-enactment of the early seventies was fantastic...down to the music, fashions, hair styles and UGLY American motor vehicles. Clever…

First, this movie has a PG-13 rating for horror violence and sexual content. But, I still liked the movie because it has Johnny Depp and the quirkiness of Tim Burton as the director. I enjoyed the music soundtrack because it has songs…

it is a ok rendition, series will always be better than this as it was more comedy than drama.

Cute-campy-kinda-not-really-much-of...hmmm...the scene was funny though...is that your definition of safe sex? Not familiar w/source material. Heard it was a show.

Not really related to the series but entertaining in it's own way.

Not Depp's or Burton's worst but not their best either. It had some fun moments. Worth a look but not as good as The Addam's Family movie of about 25 years ago.

This underrated Tim Burton gem resurrects the soap opera Dark Shadows from the grave and brings it to new heights with a contemporary interpretation of a cult classic. After being buried alive for 200 years by his spurned witch paramour…

This was a great movie. Helena Bonham Carter killed it as always. The ending was kind of really bad though

I thought the film was okay for about the first hour and a half, nothing great, but tolerable. The last thirty minutes cemented this as one of Tim Burton's worsts.

Join the 70's again in this Tim Burton film. Johnny Depp plays Barnabas Collins, with a great supporting cast including Michelle Pfeiffer. Ms. Pfeiffer seems to have lots of fun and it was good to see her again. Carpenter's music feature…

Do not let bitsymom,jivejoe, et al sway you from watching this great, awesome movie. I admit that the first time I watched Dark Shadows, I was anticipating a mystery/horror movie and what I got was so much more. I've since watched it two…

Horrible, horrible horrible. Johnny Depp STUNK. He should take his money and buy up all the copies of this horrid movie and hope that no one remembers it. I hated everything about this movie. Bad acting, bad directing, bad script. …

Quite probably Johnny Depp is one of the finest comedic actors who has ever lived, but after watching this film he's got to be the only one who could have pulled it off! What a quality comedy tale filled with minimalist horror, but too…

“Dark Shadows” follows Barnabas Collins, a man from the 1700s who spurns Angelique (a witch), and is subsequently transformed into a vampire. He is imprisoned in a coffin by Angelique for 200 years before finally escaping. The only…

Johnny Depp's specialty and he plays it well. Light and entertaining!

An ok movie. Would like to have seen a little more regarding 'supernatural powers'.

I was surprised to find I LOVED this movie! I had actually expected not to, which is why I waited so long to see it. I was a Dark Shadows fan as a kid, and I too was happy to see how much of the original storyline they used. I went back…

The majority of this movie was mostly just dialouge. I thought they had a really good storyline and they had brilliant actors who really acted out their part. Part of the reason I watched this movie was for Chloe Grace Moretz.

I was a HUGE Dark Shadows fan when I was age 7-10 when it was first on the air. Truly, I was one of those kids who ran home from school to watch the show. I even started watching the soaps before it because I was waiting for DS. I was…

I didn't care for this one. It was slow and boring. The characters were not as developed as I would have liked and the story was weak. I gave it one star for the set and costumes.
