Reveal yourself, tiny songstress!!
Joshua and Naomi Collins, and son Barnabas, start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family.

Two decades pass and Barnabas has the world at his feet, and as the master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy, until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique.

Angelique turns him into a vampire, and then buries him alive.

Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and awakes to 1972.

He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin….

This has to be the most Tim Burton Tim Burton movie since Mars Attacks! and I can see why many found this not what they expected, it’s very left field, and at times does no know what genre it wants to be in.

Depp as always is utterly fantastic as Barnabas, a gentleman and a ruthless killer all at once. And the rest of the cast are all great with the exception of Pfeiffer.

She really has nothing to do in the movie and really her role could have been cut and the film wouldn’t have suffered. It’s not her fault, but all the other key characters have some sort of subplot going on in the film.

It’s funny at times, very funny, and then it can be dark and truly chilling (the scene with the hippies is one of these key elements), which is probably why it will struggle to find a demographic.

But it’s really good, and never really let’s up until the final act, when it goes literally over the top. The sets are sublime and as you would expect from the man who gave us ‘Beetlejuice’ (which this film is most like) its very kooky and psychedelic.

It’s a love it or hate it film, and I really understand why, luckily I loved itRead More
