| Story: |
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail
from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was
not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two
decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet - or at least
the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is
rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy - until he makes the grave mistake of
breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense
of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into
a vampire, and then burying him alive.
Two centuries later, Barnabas 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 has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles. Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David. The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
