Interview with the Vampire (1994)

Interview with the Vampire is like Bram Stoker's Dracula one of the few very good to outstanding vampire movies and on top with a good shot of gothic horror atmosphere. No Twilight or Underworld mass pulp here.Excellent movie with a good story, fine acting and sometimes outstanding visuals. A classic and must-have for every serious vampire collection. Thumbs, sorry, teeth up!

Why I say, seeing the background of the film? Because this movie that is of vampires, I do not really see it as a vampire movie, I see it as a Neil Jordan movie, bone, liberals against no liberals, I'll explain it in spoiler zone. That's why I like this movie. Some struggle for their individual freedom and others struggle not to be what they are. I do not know if many people will say what I'm talking about but it's what I see that shows this movie.The film, is an entertainment production with almost a great deal. Set in many centuries and is very well set. We believe the whole atmosphere.The actors are great. Kirsten Dunst is brutal, what a discovery, for me almost the best part of her career. Tom Cruise, who has already demonstrated how great he is, does it again.He has a very nice picture. Proper and well conditioned. The movie tells us.The address is normal. Entertains. Normal planes, nothing more. But it is well worn.It has a setting, wardrobe and makeup that is very good.What happens is that it does not become a mythical movie. Stay in entertainment.Spoiler:I love the show between the two, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, two ways of being so different, one looks at his individual freedom taken to the extreme and the other can not accept what is almost let himself die. And the confrontation decides with Kirsten Dunst, who a moment comments that why they did not ask if she would always want to be like that, because they decided for her. Can there be a more liberal thinking? Can anyone be opposed to it?

I'm always down for a horror film that switches up the conventional tropes of the genre. Interview with the Vampire certainly does that, but it also fails to capture one's undivided attention for a full 2 hours.Coming out in 1994, this was the very beginnings of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt's rise to fame, and that plays into a lot of the fun with the film. Cruise plays a seasoned vampire, Lestat, who seeks out a partner in crime, Brad Pitt, to be the next vampire along his side. Pitt had dealt with plenty of loss in his life and so a step away from his normal life and into the immortal life isn't the worst thing. But Lestat's harsher ways of living prove to be too much for Pitt's 'Louis' character. And there you have much of the first half of the film.It's pretty weird watching these established actors back when they were obviously taking on more risky roles such as these. I can't see either of the two taking on a vampire film now, so I guess that adds to the uniqueness of this film. There's plenty of bloody fun to be had with the film. There aren't a ton of scares, which is disappointing, but there's no shortage of obscure Cruise monologues and slasher twists.With that said, the film takes an unexpected turn about half way through, and the rest of the story falls of the rails because of it. So much so that the first and second hour feel like completely different stories. Mixed in you get a touching arc about Louis taking in a young Kirsten Dunst, who is surprisingly great (at only 12 years of age), but it's not enough to overcome a really weak second half.To me, the film is at its best when it explores the dynamic between Louis and Lestat, and lets Cruise and Pitt go crazy with dialogue and peculiar actions. Once we dive deep into why there are vampires and Antonio Banderas' character, the film falls flat.+Cruise & Pitt playing strange/creepy vampires+Bloody fun first half-Flat second half5.8/10

Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles has an interesting premise, I cool the idea of ​​a vampire tells his story to a journalist, most unfortunately the film is only watchable, I found the tiring film, not pace suited me, the cast is excellent , Brad Pitt very well, Tom Cruise this great Stephen Rea, Kristen Dunst still young in this film, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas and etc, the soundtrack is okay, the costumes are amazing, the look of the clothes is amazing, not to mention beautiful photography, surely the best thing in the film, the direction of Neil Jordan is competent, more Interview with the Vampire: the Vampire Chronicles is just an okay movie, with a barely tapped cast. Note 6.7
