Title: It's time has clearly passed
Review: When I was a young kid, I was creeped out by Dark Shadows. In hindsight, it had more to do with forbidden subject matter to a young child and the occasional flashing of fangs rather than the quality of the show. I remember seeing this film version of the show and enjoyed it because there were more fangs, blood, action and suspense. More monster movie and less daytime soap opera. That was then, this is now.Viewing this film 40 something years later, this stuff has not held up at all. Barnabas Collins is hardly a threatening character (Van Helsing/Buffy/Blade would have iced this wimpy vampire immediately), the acting is so corny and the story is preposterous.Universal and Hammer studios monsters are timelessly endearing but this is just a curious and nostalgic relic from the past.
Is the review positive or negative?
