Dark Shadows(2012)
"Dark", somehow I like all movies starting with this word...curiously weird...ain't it? Anyways, welcome back to a short movie discussion cum recommendation. The movie I'll be discussing today is Dark Shadows(which I think is an adaptation of a book).
Dark Shadows is a vampire movie. Dark Shadows deviates from other vampire love stories. The movie starts with the introduction of the main character when he was a young lad, a.k.a Barnabus Collins who hails from an extremely rich family. He is pursued by the daughter of the house maid, Angelique, who also turns out to be an evil witch. Anyways under extreme circumstances, Barnabus, under the witch's curse is turned into a vampire, set to rot alone for eternity. But, fate does not support it, as he wakes up from his coffin after 200 years and returns back to his mansion. There he meets the new inhabitants, the descendants of the Collins family(a damn weird bunch indeed). He also meets a girl looking like his one true love whom with he could not reunite 200 years ago due to the witch. Angelique also makes a re-entry in the present, continuing to try to make Barnabus's life a living hell.
I got carried away giving you the description. I recommend this movie highly to vampire movie, thiller, comedy and horror movie lovers. Johnny Depp's performance took my breath away. Like all his other movies, he managed to act out an eccentric character flawlessly. Eva Green also gave an awesome performance of a true witch. The Collin's family and the doctor give you many laughs to enjoy the movie. The best characteristic of the movie is the uniqueness of the environment and characters.
See you next time for my next movie recommendation.
Farewell.
