Interview with a Vampire

not your everyday, cheesy vampire movie!! very good storyline, interesting all the way through! im glad i watched it! the acting was great too! a must see!

I chanced upon Interview With A Vampire one day. Being the person that I am (quite into sci-fi/fantasy) I decided to watch it. Thank God I did.

The story is told in the present day, with Louis (Brad Pitt), a vampire, telling his story to Daniel Malloy (Christian Slater), a young reporter.

Flitting between the past and the present time, the plot unfolds. From Louis meeting Lestat (Tom Cruise), a menacing vampire, to the creation of Claudia (Kirsten Dunst in an early role), to the discovery of other Vampires (including Antonio Banderas).

The different scenes are wonderfully pieced together and each actor acts their socks off. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are two men who I am not overly fond of as actors, but they are convincing as their characters, and they make you feel empathy for these vicious creatures. Kirsten Dunst is inspirational; acting beyond her years in a tough role to fill. Antonio Banderas, when he is on screen, provides a mysticism and intrigue to the vampire world.

Overall, I would urge anyone over the age of 15 to see this film. I am aware that this film is regarded as an 18, but having seen it myself when I was 14, I didn't understand why it was given such a high rating.

Anne Rice should be pleased with this adaptation of her novel. It gives the audience an interesting storyline, and makes it come alive through characters and settings which nobody should miss out on.

Interview with a Vampire is quite possibly my favourite film of all time. It is the story of a man called Louis, who gets turned into a vampire by Lestat. It also stars a young Kirstan Dunst, who is brilliant as the child vampire Claudia, Antonio Bandreas and Stephen Rea. If you like vampire films this is a cool film, there's lots of blood and gore for the lads, and Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt for the ladies. The film does the book justice, as the fine script and fantastic actors make the whole film very enjoyable. And I know its an 18 but i don't really see why. A must see film.
