A vampire tells his life story.
Even though the characters and romance - which are essentially what the movie is about - are corny and uninteresting, it's still a good movie. There's enough serious fantasy and horror to give it a compelling gravity. It's bizarre how bad Pitt is in this movie, though.

Overall enjoyable, not a bad adaptation of the book but some things COULD have been done better. Oh well. It would have been fun to see a few sequels to this (not like the move Queen of the Damned, ugh)
Considering that this movie features Cruise and Pitt who are both actors I dislike, this movie is better than I expected. But Kirsten Dunst's child vampire is what I remember.
Unfortunately, the story, adapted by Anne Rice from her best-selling novel, sucks at the neck a little too long. A 23-minute snipping from this 123-minute movie would have done wonders.

Потрясающая картина Нила Джордана с участием суперзвезд Голливуда - Тома Круза, Брэда Пита и Антонио Бандераса. Блестящая экранизация изумительного готического романа Энн Райс, открывающего знаменитую серию "Вампирские хроники". Эта нашумевшая лента уже стала современной классикой. Мистические образы, глубокий философский подтекст и великолепная актерская игра - все это делает "Интервью с вампиром" show more тем редким фильмом, который можно пересматривать бесконечное количество раз. Нежить - среди нас, она - живее всех живых. Лест, стильный и в высшей степени опасный и обаятельный вампир, соблазняет Луи бессмертием прoклятых в момент глубочайшего горя - у него умерла жена и ему это показалось выходом. Новообращенный мучается непереносимой необходимостью вампирской жизни: убивать, чтобы выжить, поскольку ему не удалось стать вампиром до конца, в нем остались и человеческая душа, и способность плакать и любить. Дрожь, шок и дьявольское наслаждения до конца жизни и за ее пределами!
