Andy says, "Special
effects cannot carry a film. Good acting
cannot carry a film alone. Even good
writing cannot carry a film absent other necessary ingredients. Films
are stories told visually. For a story to hold our attention, the
leading character must be someone we can like.
The challenge for Burton, Depp and the writers was to make Barnabas
Collins, the vampire, into someone we like, someone we can identify
with. But in order to like Barnabas we have to
ignore the fact that he is a blood sucking vampire. We have to ignore
the fact that he is a mass
and serial murderer. In the end, I just couldn’t
do it. But I still liked the movie for
the grand professionalism of everyone involved."
