If they were real, this is how it would be!

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2003)

This is one amazing film. Anne Rice's character's are brought to life by brilliant performances across the board. Tom Cruise portrays Lestat in an utterly chilling fashion. Brad Pitt plays the lonely, morbid Louie in one of his best performances of his career. A young Kirsten Dunst does an amazing job of mimicking the character of Claudia, a child turned into a vampire as a gift from Lestat to Louie. If there were really vampires, this is how it would be. None of those cheesy myths about garlic and crucifixes here! Though Neil Jordan is not the greatest director, a more than stellar cast (also including Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas, and Stephen Rhea) pulls this movie together and makes it the most truly unforgettable vampire movie ever. Note to readers, this film is definately more drama than horror, and if you've ever read an Anne Rice novel you know what I mean. Enjoy! 10/10
