Query: Awful

I hated this movie and I'm surprised at the good reviews. It was just dark and sinister and killing off most of the Collins clan was a big mistake. It did not show the "real" Barnabas we had come to love. The 1991 series revival that Dan Curtis produced was much better at showing the angry sinister Barnabas who was also tortured, lonely and still wanted family and love. The movie just seems to reflect the mood of Curtis and the writers in the last year of the series - It's almost over so lets get rid of everybody and move on. After watching House of Dark Shadows, I can understand why Jonathan Frid refused to be in the next movie. He had class - it was time to move on.
