Über diesen Film

Director Tim Burton brings the cult classic series "Dark Shadows" to the big screen in a film featuring an all-star cast, led by Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter. In the year 1750, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from England to start a new life in America, where they build a fishing empire in the coastal Maine town that comes to carry their name: Collinsport. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet...until he makes the grave mistake of falling in love with a beauty named Josette DuPres (Bella Heathcote) and breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death—turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Nearly two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972, a stranger in an even stranger time. MPAA Rating: PG-13 © 2012 Warner Bros.

I liked all Tim Burton stories and watched almost all of it. Reusing same actors for his movies wasn't necessarily a bad thing since all are talented actors and I'm quite fond of his type of movie style where its quite fun to watch people kill or eat each other lol

Мне понравилось. Это конечно не лучший фильм с Джони Деппом, но чтобы вечером отдохну подойдёт.

It is so strange how Tim Burton can create an universe where dark morbid fantasies about supernatural creatures that are wicked murderous monsters make out the plot, and still somehow it is always some miracolous feelgood - vibe going on. I have seen most of his his movies, and I seem to recollect I always have some empathy with the misfit main character. Maybe that is what he is good at, defending the criminal insane individual, making you cheer for the cursed sosiopath because he had some tragic experiences that left him emotionally scarred, for life. When you as a audience is involved in this otherwise obscured fact you will keep woing his flaws until he trough misdeeds finally reaches some fulfillment. I guess I enjoyed it, but I am not sure if he is getting away with something or not. I don`t know what he is trying to attempt and his motivation for carnage, but I am entertained, for now. Johnny Depp is excellent as usual.
