Author Topic: Dark Shadows Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 05-17-2012 02:34 AM                        Dark Shadows: Definitely the weirdest movie that I've seen in quite some time. I really like the look and the style of the movie. The music is great. The sets, the costumes and the special effects are wonderful. And hey, it's even got Alice Cooper in it. I was a bit ambivalent about this movie when I sat down to watch it since vampire movies are really not my thing, and I'm still somewhat undecided about whether I like it or not. It's definitely not one of my favourite movies, but I wasn't bored watching it either.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

I see a Mexican joint has gone into Spaghetti Mama's space. Will have to try that. THE PLOT: A woman scorned can be a real witch. Wackiness ensues. I know basically nothing of the television serial this was based off of, and I have a feeling Burton doesn't either. But as vampire love stories go, you could do far worse than this. Great sets and a nice soundtrack certainly don't hurt. It's no Bram Stoker's Dracula, but I'd watch this again before any "Twilight" movie.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 05-27-2012 07:12 PM                     I couldn't stand the trailers - but the overall film was much better than I was expecting.  |  IP: Logged
