DARK SHADOWS (12A) May 10 2012

JOHNNY Depp sinks his pearly whites into this offbeat comedy based on a 1960s TV series about a roguish playboy, Barnabus Collins, who re-awakens from an early grave 200 years after a witch called Angelique (Eva Green) cursed him to walk the earth as a vampire. While Barnabus acclimatises to the groovy customs and retina-searing fashions of swinging 1972 Maine, Angelique returns to make his undead life a misery. So the fanged fiend joins forces with the latest branch of the Collins family tree headed by Elizabeth (Michelle Pfeiffer) to repel the vengeful harpy. Other members of the kooky clan, including Elizabeth’s sassy teenage daughter Carolyn (Chloe Grace Moretz), her brother Roger (Jonny Lee Miller) and his 10-year-old son David (Gulliver McGrath), help or hinder Barnabus, while Collinwood Manor’s eccentric caretaker Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley) and live-in psychiatrist Dr Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) have plenty to say about a creature of the night living under Elizabeth’s roof. Dark Shadows reunites Depp with quixotic director Tim Burton, a creative marriage sealed in 1990 with Edward Scissorhands, and with co-star Sir Christopher Lee.Read
