Jim Schembri, 3AW
In yet another over-designed cinematic letdown, director Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland; Sweeney Todd) weaves a choppy comic tale of resurrected ghouls set in the early 1970s.

David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia)
It certainly is magnificent to look at. I think where it falters a bit is in the dark romance.

Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia)
Pitching the film playfully between farce, with a knowing satiric edge, high action and high romance, Dark Shadows is a lot of fun.

David Stratton, The Australian
Certainly delivers the goods on several levels without quite rising to the heights to which it aspires.

Anthony Lane, New Yorker
This is not so much a coherent movie as it is a long, expensive joke in search of a purpose.

CJ Johnson, ABC Radio (Australia)
The longer the movie plays, the more disjointed, episodic, and incoherent it becomes. It has no idea what it is.
