We’ve stuck our mitts into the movie tombola and pulled out a handful of films that are coming your way as the dark nights draw in.

Batman Forever was the weediest of the 1990s Batman movies – and ergo the worst entry in the Caped Crusader’s celluloid chronology. It wasn’t as dark and moody as the two Tim Burton films or Christopher Nolan’s greyscale trilogy of gloom, and it wasn’t a camp, so-bad-it’s-funny rubber fetish fest like Batman & Robin, which meant it was just … tedious.

So what better way of making it more appealing to modern audiences than inviting the man to whom Michael Caine owes more than most to sprinkle some of his magic Inception dust over it?

Well, of course, that ain’t going to happen in reality, but we can dream – and some YouTube types did better than that....

In 1752 the Collins family sails from Liverpool to start a new life in America. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas (Johnny Depp) is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy... until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). Angelique turns him into a vampire and buries him alive.

Two centuries later, Barnabas is freed 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 harbouring their own dark secrets.
