Dark Shadows (12A)

Dark Shadows is a new and exciting Johnny Depp and Tim Burton collaboration.  This enjoyable comedy will delight audiences of all ages, whether you are a Johnny Depp fan, remember the 70s or just want to watch a film which is guaranteed to make you laugh.  

Based on the 1970s Gothic soap opera, Johnny Depp plays the eccentric Barnabas Collins, the master of Collinwood Manor; a rich, powerful and inveterate playboy in 18th-century New England.  He is turned into a vampire by a local witch and then he is buried alive in the local woods.  Accidentally freed from his tomb in the very changed and colorful world of 1972, Barnabas sets about restoring the family's fortune, not without the local witch using her powers on him yet again!

The director and actor duo have brought many films to cinema screens over the past 20 years, such as the highly acclaimed Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.  This new production does not let fans down: the music and visual elements work hard to provide audiences with a sumptuous watch. The characters are as obscure as ever and the costumes reflect the characters and the time settings.  Michelle Pfeiffer and Johnny Deep are a perfect pairing.
