Born as an 18th-century lord, Louis is now a bicentennial vampire, telling his story to an eager biographer. Suicidal after the death of his family, he meets Lestat, a vampire who persuades him to choose immortality over death and become his companion. Eventually, gentle Louis resolves to leave his violent maker, but Lestat guilts him into staying by turning a young girl -- whose addition to the "family" breeds even more conflict.

Critics Consensus

Despite lacking some of the book's subtler shadings, and suffering from some clumsy casting, Interview with a Vampire benefits from Neil Jordan's atmospheric direction and a surfeit of gothic thrills.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

Only 11 at the time, [Dunst's] range is extraordinary, and she easily outclasses her adult male co-stars in every scene.

Rated: 4/5

Chicago Tribune

Director Neil Jordan has always had an affinity for underdogs, and he has created a film that can be viewed as empathetic to any oppressed group. Homosexuals may claim it as their emotional story

Rated: 3.5/4

Cruise plays one scene at a time, never getting an overall fix on his limited role.

them.

The 1994 adaptation of Interview with the Vampire is a camp classic.

I simply do not want any more movies about vampires or about Mr. Frankenstein. I thought Interview was rubbish -- routine, but illogical rubbish.

Film is quite random. Quite well done with great costumes and effects, feels like a play at times. The story didn't grab me enough. Which is probably why I don't remember any of it from watching it many years before.

I was disappointed upon rewatching this film years later. I remembered this film having more scares and an engaging story however I felt it was really slow upon reflection. Overall: Acting is solid as you would expect from Hollywood finest but it's missing that killer instinct for me and left me feeling drained unfortunately.

Overall, it remains a strong and timeless adaptation due to Jordan's dreamy, dark, and gothic direction.

Muy interesante, una adaptación medianamente decente del libro aun con sus diferencias como el personaje de Armand, que personalmente es de las pocas cosas que la película mejora a la novela.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
