"Much more of a fascinating story than a horror story"

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2004)

I'm not a fan of horror films, and I had always thought that this film was a horror story since it was about vampires. However some people I had met claimed that this film wasn't really a horror story. I didn't really take their recommendations into account until shortly after I'd seen 'Underworld' which to me was a good action film as well as a dark and Gothic film. So I decided that it was about time I watched 'Interview With The Vampire'.
When I saw this film was fascinated and intrigued right from the start. I felt like I would have done the same things Louis ( Brad Pitt) had done in his long destiny into "darkness". I also felt very sorry for Louis he lost the little girl vampire ( played by Kirsten Dunst) whom he was very close to. This film displays
vampires more like fascinating creatures rather than terrifying monsters, so I think the film can really cast a spell on some people. I also liked the two main vampires being played by two great American actors Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

I believe Ann Rice has invented an entirely new way of looking at vampires and perhaps I'll some of her novels one day. Overall I film I once rejected is now a film I certainly recommend.
