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.

Slava C

This movie got old badly. The actors' play is too theatrical. Nobody express emotions like this any more. Additionally to an old school theatrical play you get a lot of fire (probably Hollywood mastered burning things down at that moment), bad FX of vampires flying with the ropes attached and a totally unnecessary helicopter scene.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Petros T

It features strong performances by Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst, quite a few laughs and suspenseful moments, and all-around great effects. Its most powerful, interesting parts are arguably the dynamics between Louis and Lestat as well as Claudia's story and arc. On the downside, the narration gets a bit much thus betraying the film's origins as a book in an unsubtle manner, and the last part (the second half almost) does get a little tedious and doesn't feel very well established.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Brooding and sombre, claustrophobic and wonderous. Tom and Brad are a treat for the eye and the imagination.

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

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.
