Studio: Warner Home VideoRelease Date: 10/07/2008Rating: R
Amazon.com essential video:
When it was announced that Tom Cruise would play the vampire Lestat in this adaptation of Anne Rice's bestselling novel, even Rice chimed in with a highly publicized objection. The author wisely and justifiably recanted her negative opinion when she saw Cruise's excellent performance, which perceptively addresses the pain and chronic melancholy that plagues anyone cursed with immortal bloodlust. Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst are equally good at maintaining the dark and brooding tone of Rice's novel. And in this rare mainstream project for a major studio, director Neil Jordan compensates for a lumbering plot by honoring the literate, Romantic qualities of Rice's screenplay. Considered a disappointment while being embraced by Rice's loyal followers, the movie is too slow to be a satisfying thriller, but it is definitely one of the most lavish, intelligent horror films ever made. --Jeff Shannon

- O Claudia, never in the house . . .
For those who are uninitiated your knowledge of Vampire Movies is in no way complete until you have seen the master of them all, Interview with the Vampire . It is the exception to every rule and the rule to every exception . Lush, powerful, poetically charged with emotion and overwhelming in its portrayal of what it means to have everything yet be left wanting by the sheer tedium of perpetuity & immortality - it is a movie that deservedly embodies the meaning of the word 'Epic', so often overused ...

- Good movie-loses points of bad quality image
I really loved loved the movie itself.Great actors, One of Tom Cruise's finest (seriously). The actors were really captiviting, the special effects blended in beautifully.
Buttttttttt
1. I got special features when I pressed play
2. The face of the background when there is someone in the foreground is blurry.
3.Very poor quality of images, you get wavy vcr-like lines get irritating at one point (e.g wavy lines on brad pitt's faces). If you buy it, go for HD

- Okay film...
The pace for this movie is a LOT slower than I remembered. I prefer the book, in which Louis seems a gentle creature, whereas in the movie they turn him into a cold monster similar to Lestat. However, the film still does the job and gets the gist of the book across. Stick with the book, though, for a better, more intriguing journey.

I really enjoyed this movie. The historic journey the Vampire takes is incredible. Very well done. The cast is awesome also.
