Dark Shadows / 1944

Nell'anno 1752, Joshua e Naomi Collins, insieme al loro giovane figlio Barnabas, salpano da Liverpool, Inghilterra, per cominciare una nuova vita in America. Ma anche un oceano non basta per sfuggire alla misteriosa maledizione che affligge la famiglia. Due decenni passano e Barnabas ha il mondo ai suoi piedi, o almeno la città di Collinsport, Maine. Barnabas, signore di Collinwood Manor, è ricco, potente e un esperto playboy, finché non commette il terribile errore di spezzare il cuore di Angelique Brouchard (Eva Green). Una strega in tutti i sensi, Angelique lo condanna a un destino peggiore della morte, trasformandolo in vampiro e seppellendolo vivo. Due secoli più tardi, Barnabas viene liberato involontariamente dalla sua tomba ed emerge nel diversissimo mondo del 1972. Tornato a Collinwood Manor, scopre che la sua un tempo grande proprietà è caduta in rovina. Ciò che rimane della famiglia Collins se la passa poco meglio, e ciascuno nasconde oscuri segreti.
