It's thrilling to have this often-overlooked gem of popular culture revived on such a huge scale.

Not just a bad film; it's evidence of people who are barely even trying.

Mostly Dark Shadows is silly when we're trained to expect slightly richer fun from Burton and Depp.

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.

Dark Shadows' only meaningful relationship is between Depp and his audience. He's a persona now, no longer an actor.

Johnny Depp once again takes a role where he allows the make up and prosthetics to do the acting for him...
