Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2012)

Johnny Depp does not disappoint in Dark Shadows, a quirky funny dark tale. The story embarks from the old country as the Collins clans sets out for their fortunes in the new world. This lands them in America and they become the city elders of Collinswood. Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) is the devoted son and through a series of mishaps a curse is placed on him and his family which results in him becoming a vampire. This leads to an inadvertently sentence to a life far below, fortunately some road construction 200 years later frees Barnabas and he returns to find his family fortune and name in shambles. So begins the odyssey as this unlikely Savior seeks to save the day, win the girl, and adapt to the norms of the 1970s. The modern matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeifer) holds the fishing business together while fighting off the rival Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). This is a charming movie that gives some of the best dialogue to the reverent superstar Johnny Depp. Bedsides the funky psychedelic 70s is out of sight. This is a must see hit that contains all the elements of a good big screen hit.
