Movie Reviews of Dark Shadows: The Beginning Collection 2
Movie Review: Back in Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Though this second collection of pre-Barnabas episodes is more than a year away from the time traveling period of the soap, through it I have become transported back into time myself. At the end of a particularly frustating day with everything coming at me at unspeakable rates, I can come home, dim the lights, curl up on the couch with my remote and with a couple of clicks travel back to the year of my birth. Though I was a just a baby when the series first aired, I feel as if I watched it myself long ago because as I was growing up I heard so much about it from my mother and my older brother. They were addicted, and now I am too.
This collection, while sticking to classic slow revealing gothicism, seems to move along slightly faster than collection number 1. We have a murder, Vicki's continuing search for her roots, Carolyn's tormenting of "good ole Joe" with her infatuation with Burke, Roger's witty evil style, Sam Evan's self destructive drinking, etc. It's such fun. And David is awesome. He has a crystal ball from which he claims he gleans all kinds of nasty information that's right on the mark.
The collection is full of missed cues and line fumbling but this only makes it endearing. I love these Collinsport people. And, Oh yeah, the eerie happenings are already beginning here though many fans seem to discount much of the supernatural events preceeding Barnabas (aside from David's interaction with the ghost girl that comes much later than these episodes). The unseen crying ghost is at it a couple of times along with much talk of the ghosts of Collinwood and I actually got a chill down my spine when the Collins family album has it bookmark slide independently from its text to reveal the page on Josette Collins.
Summary of Dark Shadows: The Beginning Collection 2
With its alluring tales of Gothic mystery and supernatural intrigue, DARK SHADOWS became one of the most popular daytime series of all time. Since first airing on ABC-TV from 1966-71, DARK SHADOWS has earned the reputation as being one of the most unusual and enduring programs in broadcasting history. The character of Barnabas Collins, a guilt-ridden, 175-year-old vampire, brought the show tremendous success.Now, for the first time on DVD, MPI presents the spooky series' rare, early episodes before the arrival of Barnabas.
Collinwood's surly caretaker Mathew Morgan informs Victoria Winters that he believes the ghost of Josette Collins and other spirits inhabit the estate. In an attempt to settle the controversy surrounding the manslaughter case that sent Burke Devlin to prison, Collins Fishing Fleet Manager Bill Malloy sets up a private meeting for himself, Roger Collins, Same Evans and Burke.
Elizabeth Collins Stoddard confides to Victoria some of the legends involving Collinwood and Widow s Hill. Carolyn Stoddard and Victoria spot a body floating at the bottom of the cliff and Victoria soon experiences a strange premonition. After Malloy mysteriously disappears, Roger nervously bribes Sam to leave town. A ghost emerges from the Old House on the Collins family property.
