Dark Shadows

CriticsCritics: 45
AudienceAudience: 6.0

A vampire is unexpectedly released from centuries of captivity and returns to his family estate in 1972. Finding the manor and family in decline, he tries to restore their fortunes while struggling with a rapidly changing world and supernatural conflicts.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like eccentric Gothic comedies, fish-out-of-water humor, and stylish supernatural stories such as Beetlejuice Beetlejuice; Not for you if you want focused writing, consistent scares, or a tightly paced plot.
