Dark Shadows

Director Tim Burton reunited for the eighth time with his most frequent star Johnny Depp for another off beat comedy based on a TV show. A cursed vampire is set free after two hundred years to return home in the 70's to face his descendants and the witch responsible for his ordeal. Despite some hilarious moments and stellar cast, the film fails due to the expectations of a Burton and Depp reunion which starts loosing its appeal. The stellar support cast includes Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Chloë Grace Moretz and Jackie Earle Haley. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
