Enjoyable enough

Rating: 6/10 (24 July 2013)

Dark Shadows based on a British show of the same name, which I"m not familiar with so cannot compare, but was enjoyable enough. The movie stars Johnny Depp as a vampire named Barnabus Collins, suffering a witch's (Eva Green) curse, finally set free from his prison after nearly two centuries, introduced to the modern world of 1972. His decedents now live in his home and he share's his secret with the matriarch of the family Elizabeth (Michelle Pfeiffer), along with the secret to the family fortune hidden in the castle by which they plan to reclaim the family glory before the witch, Angelique (Green) cursed the family. It has some funny moments, and is directed by Tim Burton, who has fun with it, and it pays off and shows, because it is enjoyable, and has some great moments.
