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.

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.

Tom Cruise e Brad Pitt dão vida a uma sanguinária dupla de vampiros desalmados. Sua passagem pelos séculos é cheia de tragédias, dor e solidão. Histórias que serão contadas a partir da visão de um jornalista humano que se interessa em ouvir o lado vampiresco dessa história. Surpreendente, ousado, perspicaz.

Drink from me and live forever. Interview with the Vampire is a 1994 American gothic horror film directed by Neil Jordan 🧛 Not bad, but not my favourite either 😉 It’s ok, but I feel mixed about this one 😉 I’d recommend it if you like this genre, but if not then probably give it a miss 👍🏼👎🏼 A vampire relates his epic life story of love, betrayal, loneliness, and dark hunger to an over-curious reporter.

It's a bit soap-opera, but it's a rich world that's created here, with some expert performances all around. It's nice seeing Cruise chew up the scenes as a villain. It's too bad this couldn't continue as a series.

Who washes the soap? How do we annihilate the influence of shitty critics employed by this farce once called rotten tomatoes? It’s dead now; you’ll have to use your own brain to come to a conclusion Rotten Tomatoes was never great, but today in 2024 worse than ever

Beautiful movie about vampires. Probably Tom Cruise's best performance.💜 who doesn't love Brad Pitt . Kirsten dunst steals the show. Antonio Banderas looks great in a long wig
