Interview With The Vampire (DVD 1998)

Description
Horror author Anne Rice penned the screenplay for this full-blooded adaptation of her novel, which chronicles the life of 18th-century nobleman Louis (Brad Pitt) after he is bitten by powerful, charismatic vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise). Though enthralled with the undead lifestyle at first, Louis is unable to warm up to killing humans and grows despondent. To comfort Louis, Lestat creates another vampire (Kirsten Dunst in a star-making peformance), a young girl who from then on cannot age. Antonio Banderas appears as Armand, a 400-year-old vampire, and Christian Slater plays the radio producer who interviews the remorseful Louis. <BR>Director Neil Jordan captures the lush decadence and erotic fervor of the novel, infusing the film with rich, dusky tones. The big budget is well used to bring each period and place to sharply detailed life, and there is no skimping on the blood or immortal angst. Thandie Newton has a small role as Louis's Creole servant near the beginning of the film, and Jordan regular Stephen Rea appears as a Parisian vampire theater star. INTERVIEW broke weekend box-office records when it premiered and has since earned a spot in the pantheon of great vampire films.

Editorial Reviews
"...The movie is hypnotic, scary, sexy, perversely funny and haunting in a way that taps into primal fears..."
Rolling Stone - p.101-4 - Peter Travers

"...[INTERVIEW] does right by Rice....[It] honors such great movie fantasists as Jean Cocteau and NOSFERATU director F.W. Murnau..." -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly - pp.62-3 - Glenn Kenny

"...A sophisticated, spookily intense rendering of [Rice's] story....Cruise is flabbergastingly right for this role..."
New York Times - p.C1

This is Tom Cruise at his absolute best, his character in this film brings a little bit of humour to what actually could be a rather dull dark film without him. Kirsten Dunst is brilliant and the ending of this film is superb, why there was not a sequel i'll never know.
