I have a passion for films with dark settings. What's even better is when the film is not only dark and dismal but also deep and engrossing. With a combination of Anne Rice's script and Neil Jordan's direction, the overlooked... Read more at imdb.com

Someone said that this movie was too cerebral for horror fans who live for drivel like "From Dusk 'Till Dawn", and too much of a horror movie for people who look (or at least pretend to look) for meaning in... Read more at imdb.com

Although Neil Jordan's "Interview with the vampire: The Vampire chronicles" definitely has its own devoted fans (7.0 out of 10 can't be a bad average...) it's still unfortunately maybe a slightly underrated movie - at least among professional critics. I... Read more at imdb.com

I am a vampire lover and this is the ultimate vampire movie (second only to "Bram Stoker's Dracula") consisting of the two sexiest male vampires ever created- Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. I must admit at first I thought Tom... Read more at imdb.com

I, like Anne Rice, was initially dismayed that Tom Cruise had been cast as Lestat. But when I saw the film, I had to admit that he absolutely nailed the role. I had always thought of Cruise as a pretty... Read more at imdb.com

The film may not be 100% plot-hole-less (but neither is the Matrix, and many brilliant films), and the concept of Vampires might seem a little far-fetched (read on), but if you bear with the unavoidable facets of a movie dealing... Read more at imdb.com
Critics Reviews
| Nov 11, 1994Bloody-Disgusting
The acting in this movie was excellent, you feel a connection with the characters which pulls you deeper into the movie.
The directing was well done, I especially like the scene right after Brad Pitt gets turned into a vampire and you see through his eyes.
