Votes: 108,184 | Gross: $1.88M

Very slow and atmospheric, almost "arty", but perhaps tries a bit too hard in parts to BE "arty". Also cringeworthy liberties taken with "history" and cliché about historical figures. I wanted to find a slow vampire film, and found it, but this was maybe a bit too slow, even for me, and "indulgent" is probably a word... but also captivating, somehow. Post: Absolutely amazing slow grunge music.

Stars: Jonathan Frid, Grayson Hall, Alexandra Isles, Nancy Barrett

Votes: 5,431

Soap opera with a vampire. Mostly boring drama, but has some moments. Dark Shadows by Gold Key comics are a better buy. (Buyer Beware: Be careful when trying to buy the DVDs, I got ripped off by a seller who didn't send anything. Another buyer threatened legal action and was then sent his. On hearing of my problems, he sent me a copy of the DVDs he got from the seller, to help out. There are good people out there, but more crooks. When I finally GOT the DVDs, they turned out to be boring as hell! *sigh* Very dated and slow material. What a disappointment after reading the comics!)

Votes: 611

(Ok, this list is becoming more "Revelations" for some, so maybe there will be more than just "Thor's Fav.") Sadly this movie is in Swedish (or Danish). Its an interesting beginning, at least.
