a part of a book made into a film

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 1999)

After reading the book, this film was pretty tame. The book was the best vampire story ever written; unusual and haunting. The movie took in only a part of the novel, it didn't even show Lestat before he was 'made'. Tom Cruise was all wrong as Lestat, as was Bandaras for Armand. As usual, Brad Pitt was a total dud - when will this guy learn anything about his craft? He was, however, more suited to his part than the other two. This wasn't a bad picture, just droll.
