I was rooting for Angelique the whole time. Eva Green is the only part of the movie I liked, even though I do generally enjoy most of the cast. I just didn't find it interesting or funny, and I don't like that Victoria looks 16 and Barnabas looks 45.

Vampire Barnabas Collins is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate and family have fallen into ruin.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A campy romp through gothic mansions and fish-out-of-water comedy, where a 200-year-old vampire navigates the bewildering modern world with the deadpan sincerity of someone deeply out of time. It's less horror than it is affectionate absurdity, played for laughs and romantic melancholy in equal measure.
