Review of Dark Shadows (2012) by Laura O — 02 Apr 2013
As a kid I watched wand loved the original soap opera DARK SHADOWS. As an adult I own the entire series on DVD. The movie was pretty much a disappointment to me. The story line was totally off in left field and didn't.
do the original show one nit of justice. I usually like Tim Burton's. movies and I love Johnny Depp but this one fell flat. The main redeeming factor is that they invite Jonathan Frid (Barnabas), Lara Parker (Angelique), David Selby (Quentin) and Katherine Leigh Scott (Maggie Evans /Josette) from the original series to make a cameo appearance as party guests.
And for the love of Pete, Victoria Winters was NOT Maggie Evans! They were two separate characters played two different actresses!! And Josette never returned as a vampire. Sorry but these deliberate changes really annoyed me.
