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.

The film is all mood, but little drama.

A very satisfying film, and surely the first in a long franchise.

Jordan tries hard to inject some sort of Gothic sensibility into the film's early sequences, but it isn't until the third act, when the film enters the marvellously atmospheric world of the Thibtre des Vampires, that he really draws blood.

My complaint about the film is that not very much happens, in the plot sense.
01/01/00
Top CriticGiven that this is basically a Reader's Digest condensed version, the movie does a pretty good sweep job.
10/23/06
Whatever one's preconceived notions might have been about Cruise as Lestat, he is very powerful in the role and literally takes charge every time he's on the screen.

...something for everyone: heterosexuality, homosexuality, eroticism, murder, mayhem, pedophilia, necrophilia, nudity, gore.

Jordan is a master of poetic, deceptive atmosphere.
09/24/07
Anne Rice was right the first time around when she criticized Tom Cruise's casting in public, and Brad Pitt is not great either but like every Jordan's film, this problematic adaptation has some merits such as child actress Dunst and some arresting images
04/03/07
Tragically overproduced, with a glaring central miscast.
06/29/04
While vampire stories tend to be either scary or campy, Interview somehow manages to be neither...

I got bored silly and totally disgusted.
01/01/00
Not what it could have been, but memorably moody
12/21/02
Good Neil Jordan film. Could have been better with a different lead
08/22/02
What everyone missed, while hanging on to Tom's every "mon Dieu," was Jordan's ability to turn a novel with a flaccid film premise into something worth watching.
