Brings elements of 1960's original DS, 70's culture together with a hint of Hawke's Harbor thrown in.

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2012)

I'm one of those die hard fans of Dark Shadows from the 60's who ran home from school to watch it or one of the "legions" as we're also known. I've been to a convention and have memorabilia. I'm currently reading the new comic and Benshoff book on the appeal of Dark Shadows. I have Lara Parker's new book ordered for my Kindle.
I love Dark Shadows and Johnny Depp so the movie couldn't possibly disappoint me. Of course it could have been more cohesive but I think it did just fine attracting new admirers and taking in millions of dollars at the box office around the world. Perhaps the sequel will be more like that "full bodied" wine critics were expecting this time around.
