Title: Good movie, but too few extras.
Product review: I would give Dark Shadows the movie 5 Stars, but this disk only 4.Tim Burton's more modern take on the basic story from the soap opera (which has changed very little) is quite satisfying. Johnny Depp's Barnabas Collins is hilarious, but still a very sympathetic character. His need to kill seems a sad, little foible. I found myself dismayed and amused by my lack of sympathy for his victims. Sorry, Tim, but I found the only disappointing casting decision (or character concept) to be your usually note perfect spouse, Helena Bonham Carter as Dr. Hoffman, She was frequently humorous, but totally unconvincing.Eve Green was spot on as the evil Angelique, who was always my fav in the original show. She's more beautiful as a brunette, but just as talented as a blonde.I just wish there were a commentary with Tim & Johnny. Since I'm not getting it, I'll throw in Danny Elfman, who did his usual marvelous job on the score.
