More Detail:
In the film version of the Ann Rice novel, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, a young, 18th-century New Orleans landowner, despondent over the death of his wife and child, recklessly seeks his own demise until he meets death itself … a blood-consuming vampire named Lestat who promises him immortality. Brad Pitt stars as Louis, an empty young man with nothing to live for except the end of his life — the perfect prey for the vicious Lestat who kills indiscriminately and often simply for the pleasure of it. Louis chooses to join Lestat in vampire immortality, a choice that he will regret for all eternity as he wanders aimlessly, empty and alone.
Violence and gore are glamorized rather than shown as the evil elements they truly are. No characters, except Louis, show any regret for their evil deeds. God is mocked (“God kills indiscriminately and so shall we,” Lestat tells Louis; “I know nothing of God,” says another vampire, “and in two thousand years, I have found no secret that will damn or save my soul.”), and heaven is treated a joke. Along with an amateurish performance by Cruise, an offensive disregard for human life, and the overabundance of violence, blood and gore, there are also several blatant inconsistencies in the movie. Come on guys, how does one really kill a vampire? Simple, just send him to this dreadful movie.
