Watched my 3rd movie of the day, the Blu-Ray of Dark Shadows. I've been busy playing Guild Wars 2, so when I do take a little break from the game I gotta make it count and watch as many movies as possible.
Johnny Depp stars in this movie as a vampire. It has a bit of comedy, drama, goth and romance. It's about a man who sleeps with a woman, only to find out she's a witch later, but soon after he finds the true love of his life and the witch doesn't take well to it. The witch kills his loved one and curses him to eternal damnation by turning him into a vampire.
After being locked away nearly 200 years in a coffin he comes out and seeks out his old home, place which is now inhabited by distant relatives. The witch is still alive after 2 centuries and even tries to get with him again, but he denies her, although he did sleep with her once more.
The witch doesn't take it very well being turned down once again 2 centuries later and goes after his family and everything he holds dear. At the end there's a big showdown and all the family curse comes to light and the witch is defeated but his new found affection is headed towards certain death and he has to do what he never thought he'd do, turn her into a vampire rather than lose a loved one once more.
IMDB has it rated at 6.4 and I give my own personal rating of 7.0. It wasn't a great movie, it did have its funny moments and it was watchable.
