110. Interview With the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994)

February 18, 2014

Interview With the Vampire was a pretty awesome vampire movie. It stars Tom Cruise as Lestat, a centuries old vampire who turns Louis (Brad Pitt) and teaches him their ways. Louis initially holds human life as too sacred to kill and lives off the blood of rats for a long time until his hunger gets the better of him and he takes the life of a little girl, Claudia (Kirsten Dunst). Sensing Louis' need for companionship, Lestat turns Claudia into a vampire to essentially be Louis' daughter. As the years go on and Claudia is stuck in the body of a child for eternity, her bitterness for Lestat grows until the point when she tries to kill him. Louis and Claudia then leave on their own and search for others like them to learn more about where they came from, and eventually they find a large group of vampires. The vampires they find are pretty awful though, and without giving anything away, they provoked the wrath of Louis. The whole movie is a narrative being told to a reporter (Christian Slater) by Louis in the present day. Like I said, this is a great movie, so it definitely has my recommendations.
