More than vampires

Rating: 7/10 (6 April 1999)

Anne Rice's tale of a vampire's struggle to accept himself for what he is puts a new twist on the vampire genre. Usually the vampire is bad and there are limited ways to kill him. In this movie however you don't want the vampire dead because Rice makes you sympathize with him. Everyone must come to terms with what they are or are not and do whatever they can to compensate for it. Louis, one of the main characters, must accept the fact that he is a killer. He must also realize that the one person who can help him make his road to self discovery easier doesn't or can't help him. Watching all the obstacles arise and watching Louis confront them is very interesting and as a result I think this is a must see for all fans of horror movies.
