‘Dark Shadows’ Review

Dark Shadows
Release Date – 5/11/2012

Barnabas Collins owns a fishing company in 1760. A woman falls in love with him but he doesn’t feel the same way in return. It just so happens that she is also a witch and curses the Collins family. Barnabas’ parents are killed, his wife hypnotized into suicide and himself turned into an immortal vampire chained into a coffin and buried for close to 200 years. He is discovered and unleashed in the 1970s. Things have changed; the Collins family is on a downward spiral and his favorite witch nemesis it still causing a stir in his hometown. Barnabas decides to turn things around and get his family back on top. I know the movie is based on a supernatural soap opera but it didn’t have to feel so much like one. Very boring with few laughs to be had. I was greatly disappointed.
