Dark Shadows


Dark Shadows (2012)

Directed by Tim Burton from a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith, and based on the ABC television series Dark Shadows.

Film Synopsis (from the studio): In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to 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 (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. 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 Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.

Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better …

Running time: 113 minutes. Rating: PG-13 for comic horror violence, sexual content, some drug use, language and smoking.

Red Lights (2012)

Written and directed by Rodrigo Cortés.

Film Synopsis (from the studio): Veteran paranormal researchers Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) debunk fraudulent claims of ghost whispering, faith healing and other psychic phenomena by detecting what Matheson calls "red lights", the subtle tricks behind every staged supernatural occurrence.

Running time: 113 minutes. Rating: R for language and some violence.
