superb..................
By williamsgwynfa (627 reviews) from gwaenysgor , 19 Oct 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
this dvd is superb. The story opens in present day San Francisco. Louis (played by Brad Pitt), a 200 year-old vampire, is telling his life story to an interviewer (played by Christian Slater), who is shocked by his supernatural revelation. 'I am flesh and blood,' Louis tells him, 'but not human.'
His story takes us back to late 18th century New Orleans where Louis first encountered the Vampire Lestat (played by Tom Cruise). Desiring a companion, and in love with his beautiful looks, Lestat gives Louis the 'Dark Gift'-that is, he makes him into a vampire. They live together for many years, roaming the streets at night, united by their common quest for blood.
Eventually, though, Lestat fears that Louis is going to leave him. Desperate, he makes a vampire of Claudia (played by Kirsten Dunst), a beautiful young child, knowing the Louis would never leave the girl. Thus they are bonded together as 'one big, happy family.' As it turns out, though, they are not so happy after all.
The story takes the vampires to Paris, where they finally encounter some more of their own kind. The coven of vampires is led by the stunningly handsome Armand (played by Antonio Banderas) who quickly falls in love with Louis. Louis is enamoured of him as well, but he will never leave little Claudia, something Armand realizes.
The film ends back in the present, which is not in Anne Rice's book. The new twist is exciting, though, and sets up the story for a sequel. Which it does with Queen Of The Damned.

(62)One of my favourite vampire films
By Renza (15 reviews) , 01 Apr 2013This was one of the first vampire films I watched as a teenager and I instantly fell in love with it. I would never have believed that Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt could be so captivating. I have never been overly fond of Tom Cruise but in this film there is something deliciously wicked and alluring about him. Brad Pitt, another star I've never been a great fan of, plays the part of a tortured soul very well. The rest of the cast are also very well suited to their roles. A very young Kirsten Dunst shows off her unbelievable talent playing the angelic-looking but devilishly dangerous Claudia. The film has a great story and terrific gothic atmosphere, complimented by a dark and soaring soundtrack. Some may complain that its not true to the film but I don't believe films should be copies of the books. If you want the same story as the book, read the book. I adore this film and think it does justice to a cracking novel. This is a vampire film as vampire films should be.- Was this review helpful to you?

excellent characters, acting and story
By Daura (67 reviews) from Coventry , 30 Dec 2012An elder vampire turns Brad pitt and they gorge on the blood of others together from town to town. Until Brad tires of the lavish lifestyle and killings. The elder Tom cruise realises he no longer has any power over his prize possession. But Brad realises Cruise will never let him go. The old vampire story brings us to the present day and the consequences of their actions- Was this review helpful to you?
