After being set free from prison, vampire Barnabas Collins returns to his ancestral home, where his dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection.
As much as it tries to make this a love story, we don't feel its heart pulsating. Barnabus is a vampire who wants his life back, but neither he nor the film truly succeeds.
The nadir of Burton's career and is likely going to be his biggest flop, a film that's not a comedy, not a drama, not a horror film, and not a fantasy.
Clearly, they made the movie they wanted to make. It's just not the movie this "Dark Shadows" fan hoped to see.

The only reason to see Dark Shadows is to discover how dire and pointless-how flat-out dreadful-a movie can be even when it has Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Helena Bonham Carter attached to its flimsy pretext.
Mostly Dark Shadows is silly when we're trained to expect slightly richer fun from Burton and Depp.
