As per usual I have not listened to the "critics" they do not have the same taste as I do. I absolutely LOVE this film! I love the quiet unobtrusive humour...( catch some of the expressions from Barnabas to see what I mean) Tim Burton does not DOOO sequels apparently,,, critics keep saying it's because of poor box office. well I like the film very much but I cannot go to cinema for 3 reasons..... first I am a single mum with NO BABYSITTER,Second I live in a village 10 miles from nearest town and last bus to nearest town is half 6..... return same time!!!! Thirdly I CANNOT AFFORD CINEMA anymore... far too expensive , such a shame Sarah

Yes, I was one of those running home from school to watch Dark Shadows each day! I bought the DVD collection and have my husband hooked on it now. I  was almost afraid to see this movie after reading all of the early comments after seeing the trailers,but there was no way I would have missed it. What great  fun! Except for a few character changes that I was not happy with, such as Julia Hoffman and Roger Collins, it was a wonderful and entertaining two hours!

No one will ever replace the original but this was an excellent twist. I actually hated the House of Dark Shadows movie because it turned my favorite  characters and the great story lines of the series into a mindless bloodbath. The Ben Cross revival mini series was lame compared to the original. This  time, Burton and Depp took a different approach and added some comedy to balance the drama. Reminded me a bit of another favorite old movie of mine  ... Love at First Bite. Add Alice Cooper to the mix and it was impossible for me not to love it! Hope there will be sequels! Orlando Bloom would make a  great Quentin Collins!
