Review of Night of Dark Shadows (1971) by Karin R — 27 Oct 2017
After the first movie & the successful years as a serial, this is one project that should have been dropped or greatly reworked before production even began. This film feels like it was meant to be the whole first season of a TV spinoff, but edited down to a feature movie instead.
It just doesn't work, though the location is great and most of the actors convincing. Surprisingly future angel/sleuth Jackson and Barrett (who was wonderful in the first movie) fail to give stellar performances - perhaps the editors left their better performances on the cutting room floor?
