Advantages: The best bit is the TWIST at the end! Disadvantages: Some Boring Bits
...wasn't one single DVD called Interview with the Vampire on a shelf.
So instead I bought Disturbia... Then a friend called Matthew asked for Disturbia, I said ok if only you give me one of your DVDs to borrow... So he gave me a choice:
The Lion King
Interview With The Vampire
Silence of the lambs
Se7en
I Was dead after Silence of the lambs so I asked for it but he started laughing telling me I couldn't borrow it because he hadn't got it, so ... ...so I decided to choose Interview with The Vampire. He told me that it was a good choice.
When we had swapped, I became aware of the certification which was 18. Now what I had expected of it was a really scary film that could make you jump every single second, I expected scariness and a chance at getting Goosebumps. What I didn't expect of it came out.
CHARACTERS:
Louis de Pointe du Lac (Played By Brad Pitt) - Louis seems to me as a normal Human ...

Advantages: Sensual, Superb Acting, Brilliant Screenplay Disadvantages: None worth going on about
Interview with the Vampire has been my favourite film since I was fourteen years old. I got it for Christmas on VHS and watched it over so many times I wore the tape out! Fortunately this breakage coincided with the release of DVDs so I didn't have to go without for long.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS
Louis (Brad Pitt) is a vampire who needs to bear his sole. He draws in journalist and writer Daniel Malloy (Christian Slater) to unload his burden under the guise ... ...takes us back to the start of his journey where he was bought over to the dark side by the vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise). Through Louis' recollections during his dialogue with Daniel, we discover a darker side to life full of blood, murder and just a little passion. REVIEW
Though most would group this film in with the horrors, I personally would class it as more of an erotic thriller. Author of both the original book and the screenplay, Anne Rice, ...

...his life after death, His interview is with Louis (Brad Pitt) and he is a vampire
200 years ago Louis is a landowner in New Orleans. After the death of his wife in childbirth, he suffers from deep depresion. Drinking himself into a stupor each night and picking fights in an attempt to get himself killed.

Not understanding ... ...about the making of The interview with the Vampire. Involving interviews with Anne Rice and Neil Jordan as well as the cast members as to what they did and why they did it. Other than for the money of course...lol. As well as how the special effects were made.
Theatrical Trailer: Well obviously the Traile that was shown before the films release in 1994.

Advantages: Possibly the best vampir film ever made Disadvantages: could be more true to the novel
...thankfully not the case with Interview with the vampire. Although it does deviate from the book in several areas it largely remains true to the novel (the ending being a definate exception) and will not dissapoint fans of the book. The story focuses around the long life of the vampire Louis de Point du lac, his relationship with his creator Lestat, his role as a father figure to Claudia and his quest for answers and meaning all Whilst he stuggles ...
