Description
The selfishly evil vampire Lestat (Cruise), seduces Louis into a life of immortality, where he is troubled by the want to kill to preserve his own life. He confesses his 200 year erotic and bloody adventure to an unbelieving journalist. Genre: Aspect Film-Action/Adventure Rating: R Open Date: 3-FEB-2004 Media Type: DVD
When it was announced this Tom Cruise would have fun the vampire Lestat in this adaptation of Anne Rice's bestselling novel, even Rice chimed in together with a highly publicized objection. The author wisely and justifiably recanted her negative opinion when she saw Cruise's outstanding performance, which perceptively addresses the pain and chronic melancholy this plagues anyone cursed together with immortal bloodlust. Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst are equally good at maintaining the dark and brooding tone of Rice's novel. And in this rare mainstream project for a key studio, director Neil Jordan compensates for a lumbering plot by honoring the literate, Romantic qualities of Rice's screenplay. Considered a disappointment while being embraced by Rice's loyal followers, the movie is too slow to be a satisfying thriller, but it is definitely one of the much lavish, intelligent horror films ever made. --Jeff Shannon

Purrkey's Perky Review   2010-08-24
By Shylo
Musical Score and Directing were excellent and effective; appropriate and was a major character to the movie. Antonio Banderas was perfectly cast as Armand. The visuals were very effective. However, Anne Rice sold out to agree to Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Christian Slater in lead roles. They were not effective nor appropriate, nor believable as the lead characters they portrayed. They used their clout to bully into getting cast, and true fans of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, feel very betrayed and let down. The novel in the mid 1970's was better than the 1994 movie release, because of the ineffective casting of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Christian Slater. They were not mature enough nor talented enough to make those lead roles a success.
People Who Don't Know What Region 2 Is   2010-08-12
By moebox
Okay so I made the mistake of odering this product without knowing what region 2 meant. That means it can only be played with a certain dvd player made in some different countries that are not Canada or the US. So don't make the stupid mistake I did. Unless you live in Japan or any other country that is compatable with region 2.
A walk in the dark past   2010-07-19
By Sandra Dee (Ocean Springs,MS USA)
I bought this movie also for my Daughter as she requested. I like the two stars acting ability. In this yester year fantasy you could see the conflict of emotions. I did feel that there was alot more that could have been done with the story without all the bloody details. After all everyone knows what vampires do.
great quality   2010-07-13

Interview with a vampire   2010-07-08
By Neana Andreasen (Cali)
This is a clasic vampire story of love, desire, loneliness, greed, anger, sadness and every other emotion in it. It features famous actors like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruiz, Antonio Bandaras, Christian Slader and a very young Kirstan Dunst. Christian Slader plays a reporter who interviews the vampire Lestat, (played by Cruiz). Lestat tells his life story and adventures of his dark world as a vampire, while intriged yet unconvinced Slader records his story. Lestat is lonely and fastinated with a young wealthy man (Pitt) who after the death of his wife, has nothing to loose and no longer enjoys life. Perhaps Lestat can give a better life for the empty Pitt.... An older clasic with class and hidden humor. Enjoy!!
