A cheesy horror dark comedy romance schlock-movie film that you need to have a taste for to understand it's humor and the endurance for its dry spells

Rating: 5/10 (8 September 2012)

It's all about Johnny Depp as Barnabus Collins. Every scene that you see him, there's definitely a kind of atmosphere that follows him everywhere. While the other characters of the film just seem boring, Johnny adds life to everyone in every scene he's in. It almost became funny in places. The humor is of the dry variety of comments/jokes. They are told in a creepy and weird manner by Johnny and solely by Johnny. Definitely not the kind of thing that you can laugh out loud to but instead you think about what was just said, which makes for a pretty boring movie to watch. Tim Burton shouldn't bother with a sequel. If you want to watch a show about creepy monster types that the whole family can enjoy, just watch the Addams family. Waaay more enjoyable.
