Full Plot Details

Young David Collins has gone missing from his home on the Collinwood Estate. While others try to find him - he in reality playing a prank in just hiding - incidents occur not only on the estate but in town, where some have been victimized by some unknown creature who has left a pair of puncture wounds in their neck. Those that have not survived have literally been drained of their blood by the creature. Following the start of these incidents, a long lost relative of the Collins from England, Barnabas Collins, arrives at the estate, the rest of the family knowing he being who he says he is by the uncanny resemblance to his namesake, who lived approximately one century ago and whose portrait hangs in the main house. Barnabas decides to stay in fixing up the old house on the estate with the help of Willie Loomis, who had just been fired by the family patriarch, Roger Collins. Barnabas' decision is strengthened when he finds a reason to stay in being able to complete something he was unable to do when he had been at Collinwood previously with Jacqueline DuPre. With the creature attacks continuing, speculation starts turning to the thought of a vampire being loose, Dr. Julia Hoffman, in examining the victims, believing she having a solution to stop the attacks for good. Her ulterior motive has some effect on what happens.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt has the unique distinction of being the only motion picture ever based on a daytime soap opera.
Kinetofilm - 6/10 by Brian HolcombThe film is well mounted and stylishly produced. In what must've seemed like a luxury, Jonathan Frid had time to learn ALL his lines.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertEven in these troubled times, the vampire has it worse than most of us.
User Review - 10/10 by Barbara MIt's a well produced & stylish movie. It's a far more interesting variation of the vampire in the modern 70's world tale than what we have in the current present with glittery vampires running around like disco balls in daylight. The characterization of the vampire Barnabas Collins is layered & in some ways tragic. Even though there is a spectacular bloodfest in this movie due to his arrival in the story, you can not help but feel a certain sadness for the lot the character has been forced to endure. Definitely worth checking out.
User Review - 10/10 by linda rIt doesn't have the feel that the show had but it is still a must see for any DS fan!
User Review - 10/10 by bronwyn wThis doesn't do justic to the series at all - if it didn't the series to be compared to, it would be better. There was just SO much story that had to be left out, which really took away from it. How did they ever think they could fit all of Barnabas' story into a 90 minute movie? Well, I still love it. Barnabas is good evil (mostly because I know from the show that he isn't all bad?), and Nancy Barrett made a very good Hammer-ish vampire. And there was some of general atmosphere that makes Dark Shadows so amazing.
User Review - 10/10 by fsdfsf dBeing a Dark Shadows Fan it was a cool flick!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Burke DevlinLike shorter version of the show. But with less bloopers. Damn it,they left me out.
User Review - 10/10 by Wesley JI used to watch this film over and over again as a child and I've loved it ever since. I recently re-visited it and the film still does it for me everytime. I'm looking forward to the Johnny Depp-Tim Burton remake. I'm glad Depp bought the rights.
User Review - 10/10 by Robert IArguably the best TV show to movie ever (outside Star Trek, of course).
