Aa third dimension to vampire films - contains possible Spoiler

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2000)

This movie has something that all the stereotypical vamp films like From Dusk Till Dawn and Fright Night lack: A sense of substinence of what life as a vampire may be more actually like if they were to be real...
Louis ( Pitt) loses a recent bride and child and wants nothing more than to end his life. Lestat (Cruise) decides to give him the choice to be a vampire. Of course Louis accepts and begins his descent into the immortal but hellish life of a vampire.
Most of the movie deals with the lifestyles of 3 vampires, including Claudia (By Dunst) and what it is like to be one (in the view of Rice's eyes). This is much more than your seduce and suck flick. There are feelings here between Louis and humankind, Lestat and Claudia.
Check this one out if you are looking for an interesting, unique vampire movie.
*** Possible Spoiler Below***
The big flaw I see in this movie is that after the Death of Lestat, he is able to come back to life by supposedly eating alligators, snakes, lizards, etc.. but he was clearly dead so I really don't see how he could have.
Also, later when Lestat returns for vengence upon Claudia, he seems to look rather rough ( from the blood of reptiles) yet after his is burned and Louis and Claudia leave him, some 80 years or so pass and the next time we see lestat he is in his same state. If he is alive and feeding for 80 years, would he not return to his regular form??? He chomps on Slater at the end and turns back to the ol Lestat after just one victim.. Doesn't make sense
