    Still a good movie about homoerotic vampires living in Louisiana without accents.
  • October 9, 2009
    another absolute gem from neil jordan. has been one of my favourite movies for years. it's probably also the best thing going about vampires. no other film or tv series will match this! tom cruise is in his lifetimes best performance so far and brad pitt is good

    I finally watched this beautiful vampire feature as an adult for the first time. I remember watching this when it first came out, but I was too young to really appreciate the acting and the beautiful time it took place in. Brad Pitt was wonderful as always and I was surprised by ...( read more)Kirsten Dunst's performance as well. Very well done. This is one of those films where I won't have a problem watching over and over again.

    Ok but I never really got into the film or the series of books.

    This is a tricky one. The whole vampire life story is amazing, charting history through the eyes of a vampire. The look is extremely well done and its got a classic feel about it. Seeing vampires in different countries and periods is also cool. There maybe too many big names in i...( read more)t for my liking, alittle too 'Hollywood', should of had some unknows really. Gorgeous to watch though and with a haunting soundtrack its quite beautiful, a work of art in places.

    I thought I already revewed this...obviously not :P

    As a fan (and critic) of Vampire films, I was recommended this one.

    Interesting film. Bizzaire. Tom Cruise as a (very short) creepy vampire. Kirsten Dunst dies. :/ Apparently they can only kill kid's off if they are dead...( read more) already (or mkae them become the undead)

    This isn't Twilight,(2008) Vampires are evil, as they should be! Just not to the extremes of Daybreakers (2010). Darker than but maybe not as good as True Blood (US TV Series)
  • February 7, 2010
    One of the best of all time in vampire movies and an all star cast to boot, thought it was well thought out and will remain a classic for the years to come
  • February 5, 2010
    I watched so many times that I know it by heart
  • February 3, 2010
    Epic storyline with some amazing set pieces. Full review later.

    All the movies basaded in the Anne Rice's book.. are awesome..!!

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

For all its visionary brilliance, the movie version of Interview never lets us close enough to see ourselves in Louis. We're dazzled but unmoved. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

My complaint about the film is that not very much happens, in the plot sense. full review

    The Best Vampire movie of all time! Its Anne Rice's dream on film, with the best cast possible. I've seen this movie too many times to count, and its better ever time!

    The Movie is the best so far out of the Chronicles... Queen was two books in one movie what were they thinking.. Althought Jon Davis made some great songs but that couldnt save it.. Cruise played Lestat great... 5 Stars by me....
