I was pleasantly surprised by Interview with the Vampire. Aside from the semi-Twilight-vibe, it's actually a decent drama. And Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst give some excellent performances. I'm not saying I'm an Anne Rice fan or anything, but it's a well-made vampire movie.

Interview With The Vampire : The Vampire Chronicles3 Out Of 5Interview With The Vampire : The Vampire Chronicles is an interesting take on one's usual vampire tale, especially since it focuses less on the characteristics of it and more on the revenge aspect of it. The chemistry among the characters is acted out and written brilliantly especially in its first two acts where diplomacy brews among them which grows into a behemoth rage of vengeance and spirals out its plot with an eccentric push. It is rich on technical aspects like costume design, art design, editing and sound department. The script is not as smart as the makers think but it surely is gripping enough to keep the audience engaged and invested in it. Addition to that, the makers uses their star power wisely and draws in most of the attention from it.Anne Rice; the writer, has done an amazing work on creating a high pitched tensed drama among its three dimensional characters where Neil Jordan; the director, is merely supporting her on its execution where he should have been more expressive and accurate on his vision. The performance is objective is utterly satisfied by the protagonist Brad Pitt and his supporting cast Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst and Antonio Banderas. Interview With The Vampire : The Vampire Chronicles is a thought-provoking but an over-stretched interview which may not be as nutrient but is surely juicy.

Movie Review: "Interview with the Vampire" (1994)Closer to its 25th year of first receptions, the unmissable hyponotic nature of director Neil Jordan's movie adaptation of Anne Rice's 1976 Vampire Chronicles debut has nothing lost of its seductive power.Too close seem Hollywood giants Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt intervene as vampire companions, one "the hunter", the other "the giver" only to heartbreaking proportions, when the character of Claudia, portrayed to newly-cast highest beating potential by 12-year-old Kirsten Dunst, the vampire, which learns, feeds, seduces and hunts but never transform into an adult woman for deadly love.Calmly ascending to the major stardom to come, actor Brad Pitt fights through nearly every scene in order to come to terms with the nature of eternal life, meeting supporting stars Antonio Banderas and Stephan Rea through magnificiently gothically shimmering 35mm cinematography as Tom Cruise must steal the show due to utmost professionalism in an high-end sexual as sensual driven beats of homosexuality.Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC 2018

This film opens in modern day San Francisco as Louis, a man claiming to be a vampire, starts to tell his story to a journalist. His story begins in New Orleans in 1791; Louis is a wealthy plantation owner but he can't get over the loss of his wife and child a year previously. He deliberately puts himself in dangerous situations but rather than getting himself killed he meets the vampire Lestat. Lestat turns Louis into a vampire but he seems no happier and can't bring himself to feed on people; instead he survives by drinking the blood of rodents; something that disgusts Lestat. Eventually he feeds on the housemaid before heading to a plague infected area of New Orleans. Here he bites the young Claudia, Lestat then turns her into a vampire. Louis treats her like a daughter but as the years pass she has difficulties accepting the fact that she will always be a child and eventually takes her revenge on Lestat for turning her into a vampire. Louis and Claudia then travel to the Old World looking for other vampires; what they find isn't what they hoped for.Vampire films usually centre on those seeking to destroy them of their potential victims so it is interesting to see the story told from the point of view of a vampire. Brad Pitt does a fine job as the emotionally tormented Louis and Tom Cruise is impressive as he plays against type as Lestat. Young Kirsten Dunst is great as Claudia; beautifully portraying the girl who is doomed to never grow up. The story is told in an interesting way and the old New Orleans setting provided plenty of atmosphere. As one would expect from a vampire film there is some bloody violence although less than one might expect. The action is important but not as important as the characters and looking at the question of what it means to be a vampire. Overall this is an impressive film that fans of the vampire genre are likely to enjoy.
