About The Movie : In Dark Shadows The Collins family son, Barnabas (Johnny Depp), grows up to be a wealthy playboy in the town. He falls in love with Josette du Pres (Bella Heathcote), breaking the heart of his former lover Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), who is a witch. In a fit of jealousy, Angelique kills Barnabas' parents, curses his family, and bewitching Josette into leap to her death off a cliff. Barnabas jumps over the cliff in grief, but Angelique turns him into a vampire before he reaches the bottom. She then organizes a mob that captures Barnabas and buries him alive in a chained coffin in the woods.
200 years later, in the year 1972, Barnabas is accidentally freed from his coffin by a group of construction workers, whom he feeds on. He makes his way back to his manor to find it inhabited by his dysfunctional descendants and their servants—Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfieffer), the family matriarch; her brother Roger (Jonny Lee Miller); her 15-year-old daughter Carolyn (Chloë Grace Moretz); Roger's 10-year-old son David (Gulliver McGrath); Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), David's psychiatrist; Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley), the manor's caretaker; and Victoria Winters (Heathcote), David's newly hired governess and Josette's reincarnation. Upon convincing Elizabeth of his identity by revealing a secret room behind the fireplace containing treasure, Barnabas is allowed to stay under the condition that he reveal neither the room nor that he is a vampire to the rest of the family. Barnabas pretends to be a distant relative from England who has come to restore the family's business and reputation in town. He also becomes entranced with Victoria, who he briefly mistakes for his lost Josette.
As Barnabas helps revitalize the Collins' fishery and manor, Barnabas is approached by Angelique, who has become the head of a successful rival fishery. She tries winning him back and later makes love with him in her office, but he rejects her feelings and tells her he has fallen in love with Victoria. He eventually helps restore his family's name by throwing a party at the manor that the entire town attends. There Angelique witnesses Barnabas and Victoria confessing their feelings to each other, enraging her. Meanwhile, Hoffman discovers Barnabas' identity as a vampire and offers to turn him into a human via blood transfusions, only to use his blood to try and turn herself into a vampire to avoid aging. Upon discovering this, Barnabas drains her blood and dumps her body into the ocean. Barnabas also exposes Roger's lack of interest in his son in favor of searching for the secret room, prompting him to leave the family. Soon afterward, Barnabas rescues David from a falling disco ball and stumbles in a beam of sunlight, burning his skin and exposing his secret to the horrified children and Victoria.
Later that night, Angelique calls Barnabas into her office, coaxes him into confessing Hoffman's murder, and traps him in another coffin that she leaves in a crypt. She then burns down the Collins' canning factory and plays a recording of the murder to the townsfolk, turning them against the family once more. Angelique leads the mob to Collinwood manor to arrest the family, but Barnabas is rescued by David and exposes to the mob that he is a vampire and Angelique is a witch. As the townspeople flee in terror, Angelique sets fire to the manor and admits her role in the family's curse, including turning Carolyn into a werewolf and killing David's mother at sea. Barnabas and the Collins family fight Angelique until David summons his mother's vengeful ghost, who knocks Angelique into a chandelier, killing her. Barnabas then discovers that Angelique has bewitched Victoria into jumping off the same cliff Josette did. He jumps after Victoria, biting her neck and turning her into a vampire to save her life. As the two kiss, the film ends with a shot of the underwater Hoffman, who revives as a vampire.

Viewers Comments : (some comments from the viewers are bellow)
Dark Shadows can't decide whether it's a fish-out-of-water comedy or a Gothic thriller/romance. Instead, we get treated to a bipolar movie that is, at times, really funny, but mostly full of unnecessary exposition. I think Burton wanted to honor the TV show by adding in so many details, but frankly, it was boring at times as they moved from one plot point to another. Some of the "wrap up" surprises at the end came off as forced. Though I'm glad they didn't rely on as much CGI to create the set pieces, one major scene involving a concert looked like it was stolen from Dark Shadows Austin Powers films.
