    3 generations loved it!

    Grandma, son and grandson all really enjoyed this movie! Tongue-in-cheek funny, good storyline, not too dark like most Tim Burton movies tend to be, and great cast and just a fun time overall!

    Johnny Depp Does it Again!

    by shari13903

    Dark Shadows is a dramatic comedy that holds the audience's attention throughout the entire movie. Johnny Depp is masterful in portraying both the emotional angst of his character and the comedic confusion of a "man" out of his era. The rest of the cast are just as talented and each character has his or her own unique quirks and personality. This is definitely a movie worth the price of admission.

    5 of us attended the movie together last night, and we all loved it!
    Depp and Burton haven't lost their touch one bit! Bravo !
    I intend to go see this one again.
    Acting was superb, the cinematography was eye popping good, over all it was well worth paying full price to go see.

    Depp's performance is more than just funny - it's ghoulishly endearing.
