Watched With: My Snooqums @ Cathay EHub

Genre: Comedy / Horror

"They tried stoning me, my dear. It did not work."

Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) is the heir to a rich fishing industry. He is cursed by a spurned witch Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green) to spend all time as a vampire.
He awakens in modern days to find his family bloodline still alive but his business in ruins.

So he sets forth to try and rejuvenate the lives of Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer), Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller), Carolyn Stoddard (Chloë Grace Moretz), David Collins (Gulliver McGrath) and family physician Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) with the help of his new henchman Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley).

He even has time to fall in love with the family nanny Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote) whilst trying to save his family fishing business from the evil Angelique who is also still alive and well. Mayhem and comedy obviously ensues.

This movie is supposes to be based on an old TV show. Maybe it should have been left as that. This seems like a vanity project by Tim Burton. Just another excuse to make a movie even if it's boring as hell.

But I have to say that Johnny Depp steals the show as usual.

Might wanna give this one a miss kiddies.

Final Verdict:
