A movie about a whiter shade of pale
I must admit that I never watched the original “Dark Shadows” (1966–1971), as I spent decades ignoring soap operas and most weekly serial entertainment programs, except for a few classics. However, even though I keep saying I do not like the Jonny Depth sort of film, I find that I strangely enough purchased just about all of them. After watching “Dark Shadows,” I guess I will just have to admit that I do like his body of work. Turns out it is a lot of Burton's films with which I am not enamored.
Just in case I am not the only person to have missed the original storyline, this film is about the head of a household, “Collinwood,” or more of a financial empire, who returns to a crumbling future to rebuild that empire.
In his youthful lusty way, Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) besmirches a young which, Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), and soon must turn to the dark side to protect himself and the new love of his life. It is to no avail as he is transformed into a vampire and forced to covet his neighbor’s blood. He is boxed for a couple of hundred years, and on his return, he now must cope with a new world and his reencounter with his gorgeous, lustful nemesis.
This looks like it is probably a pilot for a new series of films like his previous “Pirates of the Caribbean” series.
Now I want the soundtrack. I have most of the songs now, but it is a nice mixture and will remind me of the movie.
