I loved it! I generally am not a big Tim Burton fan , with the exception of a few of his movies. But I really enjoyed Dark Shadows. As a child I was glued to the TV every day after school to watch Dark Shadows. My sister was not permitted to watch it because it gave her nightmares. I had wondered how, with time passing since the original, the gigantic technological leaps since the original in society and in production of movies and TV shows how they would be able to make that leap....and still have a decent story.. And they did it. No, not a duplicate of the original, but one at least recognizable and so a bit familiar and still entertaining.
