When it was announced that Tom Cruise would play the vampire Lestat in this adaptation of Anne Rice's bestselling novel, even Rice chimed in with a highly publicized objection. The author wisely and justifiably recanted her negative opinion when she saw Cruise's excellent performance, which perceptively addresses the pain and chronic melancholy that plagues anyone cursed 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 major 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 most lavish, intelligent horror films ever made. --Jeff Shannon

Purrkey's Perky Review August 24, 2010
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 August 12, 2010

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 July 19, 2010
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.

Interview with a vampire July 8, 2010
Neana Andreasen (Cali)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

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!!
