Customer Ratings & Reviews

The film works fairly well. The funny bits are funny and the scary bits are... well, I guess they could unnerve some people. Burton's usual color scheme is in effect, so expect a lot of dark colors with red highlights. The cinematography was a pleasant surprise, as the shots tend to be very much in the style of old Hammer Horror films (Horror film buffs should keep an eye out for shots that resemble some of your old favorites). The soundtrack is a nice mix of Danny Elfman's score and 70s rock. This is used to great effect throughout the movie (most notably Nights in White Satin). The film is not Burton's best, nor is it Depp's (Both of which would be Ed Wood in my opinion). It is an entertaining film, nothing particularly special... but there's a sense of nostalgia to it... Both for fans of the show and old Burton fans.

"Dark Shadows" is Tim Burton's take on the TV show of the same name and a really cool one, at that. Great cast and a cameo of Alice Cooper. Doesn't get much better. Johnny Depp continues a successful partnership with Tim Burton which began with "Ed Wood" back in the early 90's. Check this movie out.

I like this movie. Wanted to add it to my collection of movies. "Madam I assure you, I am neither good nor gentle! And I do not forgive!"

I have really liked some Tim Burton movies, Batman, Sleepy hollow, mars attacks, and Beetlejuice. And I've disliked others a lot, planet of the apes, demon barber, etc. I really liked Dark Shadows. I think it's Depp's best performance in a long time. I am growing tired of him being in every Burton movie. But I think this one is great. I

As ridiculous as it is, I still love the simplicity of this movie. Just a great movie to watch and not have to think about. Johnny Depp is is usual self and I love how is personality adds to the role. This is not an award winning movie by any means! Nothing too scary, but there are quite a few risque references so it might not be appropriate for the young.

Some like him. Some don't. But if you like vampires, camp, and don't mind remakes too much, you might like Dark Shadows. Johnny's Barnabas Collins finds himself stranded in the present and has to find his balance, all the while fighting the witch who put him in this position. Does he find love again? Watch it and find out.

Johnny Depp at his best as the head of fading family estate; oh and he happens to be a vampire. Filled with great jokes and interesting cast. A great movie for a rainy afternoon when you want something different from the usual movie fair. The more you watch it, the more you appreciate the subtlety of the humor. Looks like the cast had great fun filming.

everytime tim burton and johnny depp make a movie you can almost tell its gonna be dark. the fact that they are able to take a average soap opera and revive it 40 years later just goes to show you that you don't need a 100 million dollar budget to make a good movie. acting was great and the special effects were right up the burton avenue. all in all a good mature family comedy

I love Tim Burton, The way he uses his camera angles and shots tells a story in itself. I watch movies from the editors point of view, oddly enough one of my favorite scenes is when everyone is talking at the table and you can see chloe dancing to music in the background !

"I'm not good. I'm not gentle. And I don't forgive." This is one of my favorite movie quotes ever. Having never seen the television series Dark Shadows, except in a clip here and there, I was a clean slate. It's serious, it's funny, it's hysterical. One of those movies you're not sure if it's a dramatic comedy or a comedic drama.

While this movie is great. I purchased this particular copy because it advertises that it carried a digital copy. Well, there is none. Will be returning because Bestbuy needs to be more accurate when the list items because it is unfair for me the consumer.

Great music from the early seventies! The story line is interesting with twists and secrets!

JOHNNY DEPP'S ACTING MAKES THIS MOVIE WORTHWHILE. SEE IT TO WATCH HIM - BUT SILLY STORY. ANOTHER WEIRD ONE FROM TIM BURTON.

A very dark and somewhat gory comedy with great acting.

Having a vague remembrance of the original TV Dark Shadows, I came to this movie with low expectations and it turned out to be pretty fun. I watched it with a fan of the old TV series and she got an even bigger kick out of it than I did. Ok ... it is dumb ... but entertaining nonetheless.

Ladies working with johnny made this film good. Tastefully done, the original series was a gold mine of strange and swirling horror mayhem. I feel the ending suited to make you remember just how weird the show truly had become.

I love the dark humor in this movie. Eva Green is a beautiful woman, and she plays the witch perfectly. If you like dark comedy movies, I recommend you to grab this movie to your collection. Great for Halloween movie night, or any night.

We've been picking up bargain Blu-Rays waiting for 4K content and find that Best Buy has a great inventory, well organized and competitively priced. I dunno on this one-I like Johnny Depp but he's done better stuff.

When you want a kooky fun Halloween (the holiday not the film franchise) type movie this is a good one.

Delightfully cute and funny take on the classic story of Barnabas Collins. Look for the cameos of Angelique, Josette/Maggie, and Quentin - pretty cool! Great music with this good spoof too.
