by 319 Comments

I love Johnny Depp in Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows. He is the best character actor because he takes on each character so well. He was meant to be different and different he is. Check out some of these Dark Shadows Movie Quotes. Dark Shadows

Director Tim Burton brings the cult classic series “Dark Shadows” to the big screen in a film featuring an all-star cast, led by Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter.

In the year 1750, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from England to start a new life in America, where they build a fishing empire in the coastal Maine town that comes to carry their name: Collinsport. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of falling in love with a beauty named Josette DuPres (Bella Heathcote) and breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death—turning him into a vampire, and then burying him…alive.

Nearly two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972, a stranger in an even stranger time. Returning to Collinwood Manor, he finds that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin, and the dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets.

Family matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) is the one person Barnabas entrusts with the truth of his identity. But his rather odd and anachronistic behavior immediately raises the suspicions of the live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), who has no idea what kind of problems she’s really digging up.

As Barnabas sets out to restore his family name to its former glory, one thing stands in his way: Collinsport’s leading denizen, who goes by the name Angie…and who bears a striking resemblance to a very old acquaintance of Barnabas Collins.

Also residing in Collinwood Manor are Elizabeth’s ne’er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloë Grace Moretz); and Roger’s precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gully McGrath). The longsuffering caretaker of Collinwood is Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley), and new to the Collins’ employ is David’s nanny, Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote), who is, mysteriously, the mirror image of Barnabas’ one true love, Josette.1000279639BRDLEFOsmall

  35. I think it looks good, but to be honest, it could look like the crappiest movie ever and I’d still want to see it. Two words: ‘Johnny’ and ‘Depp’!

    Thanks!

  62. The howling wolves fireplace which opens into a glass and iron corridor leading to a treasure-filled chamber is spectacular. A lavish and haunting Prologue, waves crashing on the rocks below Widows Hill, Barnabas’ stroll through the village upon his first night out of the box, then onto Collinwood through the forest–each scene a masterpiece unto itself. The costumes are outstanding, especially the 18th century ones; the sets gorgeous; the photography first rate. I went to see if for the magic that was “Dark Shadows” and came away enchanted because it is so different, yet similar in that it provides for that same haunted house thrill. Johnny Depp recalled the late Jonathan Frid in his speech, stance, and mannerisms, yet made the role his own. I would very much love to see this film again.
