The movie's screenplay was great as vampires were portrayed as human beings instead of blood-sucking creatures.Cruise,Pitt and Dunst provided great performance in their roles as Lestat,Louis and Claudia respectively.The movie was interesting from beginning to end. The direction was superb as well.Finally,Pitt's portrayal of Louis stood out in the film as we get to sympathize with a person who was an unwilling vampire.It was a great story as well.Highly recommended for people who loves horror and entertaining films.
