Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have teamed up again for “Dark Shadows,” their eighth collaboration. While the two have made some outright fantastic films (“Edward Scissorhands,” “Ed Wood,” and “Sweeney Todd”), they’ve also made some films that missed the mark (“Alice in Wonderland” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”). “Dark Shadows” lays somewhere in the middle of fantastic and mediocre. The film is stylishly strange in only the way Burton can produce and has some genuinely funny moments, but ultimately “Dark Shadows” plays it safe and simply toes the line of the seriously twisted.
