Dark Shadows Audience Reviews 4g171i

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Filipe Neto I watched this series recently, in order to compare it to the film with the same name that was released in 2012. The first thing I noticed was the difference in tone: if the film is clearly a black comedy, this little series (a revival of an extensive TV series of the sixties) is drama with supernatural contours and some Gothic touch. Another thing I quickly noticed is that, sadly, it has never been finished. I am against television serials that extend indefinitely, just as I am against the abrupt cut of these by audience concerns. They're matters of respect for the viewer, the actors and the team engaged in the whole project. A quality series must finish before it becomes decadent, with a rational conclusion. However, when a series is interrupted or canceled, the best is to give a logical end to the work begun, even if one has to write and run one or two more episodes. I think its a matter of respect, but its just my opinion about that.I really enjoyed the gloomy atmosphere surrounding the show and the work of the general cast, where the sounding names of Ben Cross, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Barbara Steele and Jean Simmons promise us commitment and quality. The special effects and soundtrack are also good. I think that if the series had been launched at the moment, it would have been more successful than it ended up, but it was a successful environment anyway, which only regrets the lack of conclusion.
oliviu2009 This is quite a treat! I can say without any restraints that this is my favourite all time movie, a superb Gothic mystery, exceptionally cast, realistic, in a word - almost perfect! I say almost, because the 6th episode has some flaws, but I can get over them, especially because the rest of the episodes ARE perfect! Suspense, mystery, beauty, atmosphere, landscapes, the actors, the story - all superb! Look at the tortured, violent and repulsive Barnabas Collins, superb played by Ben Cross! It is a realistic vampire! Look at the beautiful and fragile Vicky, played by the superb Joanna Going! She plays her part as she is a victorian young lady! This is the film for everyone who grew up reading Poe, Lovecraft, Le Fanu, Bram Stoker! Also I recommend House Of Dark Shadows, which is quite good, but the actors have no chemistry... But you can get over if you will see it like a Dark Shadows parallel adventure. And of course - you must see Subspecies. More violent, less beautiful, but equally good! Enjoy!
possumopossum This didn't have the camp of the original series and it moved faster, stayed more focused on the main story line. This time, Dan Curtis didn't work with a shoestring budget and he was able to put something together that wasn't as rough around the edges as the original series. Of course, that roughness was part of the charm of the original, and I still have a special place in my heart for it. But this is much better done. Granted, most of the women in this series are not as good looking as their 1960s counterparts (especially Carolyn. Nancy Barrett was hot as Carolyn in the 1960s version. And Lysette Anthony didn't have the hypnotic quality that Lara Parker's Angelique had.) I was disappointed in the way this series ended. I was hoping to see how they would handle the Frankenstein monster and werewolf stories, even have a Quentin story (which was part of the werewolf story). But, as sloppily as the original DARK SHADOWS ended, at least it was a conclusive ending. This just left you hanging, waiting for them to get into the other "monster" stories, and then they never came. I for one felt cheated. 6 out of 10 because it ended too soon and they left you hanging.
Niels Solberg DARK SHADOWS is a definite "must" for any horror fans to view. I enjoyed every episode and looked forward to each one. The cast is filled with excellent performances, especially from Barbara Steele and Ben Cross. I never did see the old series, but can only say that according to my taste this was really enjoyable horror made with much style. It does not happen very often nowadays that there are given so much attention to style over gore. DARK SHADOWS has a definite "old fashion" look and some would perhaps think this outdated. I realized watching this TV-series that I was pulled into the story line and the characters as each actors pulled off the story with much believability. Vampires, demons, ghosts....they are all here....each driven by the love and ion that made them what they became. That I liked very much about this series. The set designs and customs are very detailed and atmospheric,excellent lighting. If you see all the episodes in one day, there will be definite repeats in sounds effects, dark shadows and thunder/lightning, but this is so typical of the horror genre. Too bad the series did not continue. In my view...and I have seen thousands of horror films, old and new, this is a definite 8 out of 10 stars in my book.
