Not a bad film on it's own.

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2002)

I have been a big fan of anything involving vampires for a very long time. On its own, I really enjoyed this film. I liked the relationships as they were presented among the principal characters. Each one having their own fears about the immortal world they are forced to live in. However, I was a big fan of the book and there were a couple of changes that I thought were unnecessary, but I guess we don't have to dwell on that. Obviously, when Anne Rice wrote the script, she intended the film to stand on its own outside of the canon of her books. Fans of classic vampire films will like this movie because of its willingness to challenge the old fables about these creatures and create a realistic view of these "preternatural" beings.
