After a failed bid with his 2001 remake failure with Planet of the Apes Tim Burton has once again reunited with Johnny Depp on the classic TV ABC network soap which ran from 1966-71 by Dan Curtis' long-running vampiric soap opera saga is brought to the big screen with Johnny Depp stepping into the iconic role of Barnabas Collins in this Tim Burton-directed reboot for Warner Bros. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES' Seth Grahame-Smith provides the screenplay., Transformed into a vampire and entombed for 200 years after betraying vengeful witch Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), 18th century fishing magnate Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) returns to Collinwood Manor in 1972, only to find his once proud estate in ruins and his family plagued by macabre secrets. It was the year 1752 when Barnabas' parents came to America to expand their business empire. But after establishing the thriving New England fishing town of Collinsport, the family experienced a series of misfortunes when Barnabas fell for the gorgeous Josette DuPres (Bella Heathcoate) and cast aside beautiful witch Angelique, who cursed him with eternal life and buried him deep in the earth. Returning home to Collinwood Manor after being dug up by a construction crew in 1972, Barnabas learns that Angelique has nearly driven his family out of business, and turned the townspeople against them. Determined matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) employs live-in psychiatrist Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) and enchanting governess Victoria Winters (Heathcoate) to try and help young David Collins (Gully McGrath) get over the mysterious death of his beloved mother, but as Barnabas gets acquainted with his distant ancestors -- including Elizabeth's black-sheep brother Roger (Jonny Lee Miller) and headstrong teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz) -- their suffering weighs heavily on his shoulders. Later, when Angelique learns that Barnabas has returned on a mission to restore his family to its former glory and fallen for the radiant Victoria (who is actually Josette reincarnate), she vows to make his suffering unimaginable if he should dare refuse her once again. Jackie Earle Haley, Bella Heathcote, and Gulliver McGrath co-star in this instant classic out October 2nd on dvd with a great musical sound track featuring the Moody Blues NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN, The Carpenters ON TOP OF THE WORLD and T Rex's BANG A GONG.Read full review
I saw the late 60’s series when I was kid and recently also. The movies take bits from the series to make a coherent plot (the series was long and things that happened were re done by going back in time. Over all it was a great interpretation of the characters and series.

As a huge devoted fan of the Original Dark Shadows, (which I FIRST saw in re-run, I might add - I'm not THAT old!) I liked the remake a few yrs before this one. But Johnny Depp made this very entertaining. It was toungue-in-cheek at times, and humor was added, and they took some creative license, but for the most part, they stayed true to the story!!! Very enjoyable, and I'm so glad I was able to get to own a copy of this! A movie I will watch and re-watch!
