Shadow of a script

Dark Shadows (2012)

Directed by Tim Burton this film based on the late 1960s soap opera of the same name stars Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green and Helena Bonham Carter. After spending 200 years buried in a coffin a vampire is released and finds himself in 1972.

As with any Tim Burton effort this film has a unique look and style about it that is hard to find anywhere else. Unfortunately the script for the film is a real mess that leaves far too many characters and character relations under developed. Particularly in the final minutes new elements come out of nowhere for apparently no reason and all in all you have a hard time caring about what is going on.


2/5
