Based on a classic TV series from the 70's I expected a better film that this 2012 release that runs 113 minutes.Perhaps the fact that Tim Burton directed and Johnny Depp starred as the Vampire Barnabas Collins had something to do with it,I'm not a big fan of ether,or just the campy-ness of this version ?Whatever,view it only a curiosity.See the old series rather as I just might.Anyway,below is a IMDB summary and a trailer link follows the picture.
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth ... Written by Warner Bros. Pictures
