Current Talk '12 II / Re: 2012 Dark Shadows: Barnabas and Angelique

To me, Angelique's continued persecution of the Collins family follows the same pattern as how she[spoiler]killed Barnabas' father, mother, and even the family dog because he couldn't say he loved her.[/spoiler]Any and every member of the family, no matter how many generations removed from Barnabas they may be, is fair game simply because they're related to Barnabas, and even if he wasn't around to see how she was making them suffer through the centuries. It was enough that she derived satisfaction from the persecution. And, of course, once things come to a head after Barnabas' release and more of his rejection, all hell breaks loose in the film's finale. It all seems like a perfectly natural progression given Angie's complete inability to take rejection/no for an answer and her need to lash out with punishments that far outweigh any supposed 'crimes' committed against her. To say Angie holds a grudge, whether deserved or not, would be an understatement!
