Usually, when Tim Burton and Johnny Depp team up, they produce some of Hollywood's most memorable and wonderfully weird cinematic touchstones. Unfortunately, Dark Shadows does not follow that streak. In the film, Johnny Depp portrays Barnabas Collins, a wealthy landowner turned vampire who returns to his hometown to exact revenge on the witch who cursed him to eternal torment.
Unfortunately, this movie's intricate production designs do not compensate for the incoherent plot, which leaves too many loose ends. Our favourite artists will inevitably produce a dud every now and then, but that didn't make this effort any less disappointing.
