Interview With The Vampire
Director: Neil Jordan
Now R101.95
From the best selling novel by Anne Rice, from Neil Jordan the director of 'The Crying Game' and starring Tom Cruise the world's most popular actor, comes one of the most eagerly awaited films of recent times. The Vampire Lestat (Cruise), ageless, immortal and evil is sustained through the centuries by the blood of countless victims. Louis De Pointe Du Lac (Brad Pitt) is a broken man, devastated by the loss of his beloved wife and infant daughter. Amid the unbearable heat of New Orleans, the air thick with desire and unspeakable horror, Louis encounters Lestat. 200 years later, Louis decides to tell his story - a vampire's story of love, yearning, grief, terror and ecstasy - to a young reporter (Christian Slater), weaving the history that will come to be known as 'Interview With The Vampire'. Actors:
Antonio Banderas, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Kirsten Dunst, Stephen Rea, Thandie Newton, Tom Cruise, Virginia McCollam Director: Neil Jordan Picture Format / Ratio: Widescreen 1:85.1, Anamorphic Audio Information: English DD 5.1 (AC3), German DD 5.1 (AC3), English for the hearing impaired. The undead are among us and livlier than ever when Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and a talented group of young bloods star in Interview With The Vampire, the spellbinding screen adaptation of the Anne Rice bestseller./Award-winning and box-office favourite Cruise stars as the supremely evil and charismatic vampire Lestat. Pitt is Louis, lured by Lestat into the immortality of the damned, then tormented by an unalterable fact of vampire life: to survive, he must kill. Stephen Rea, Antonio Banderas, Christian Slater and newcomer Kirsten Dunst also star. One lifetime alone offers plenty of opportunities for the savage revelries of the night. Imagine what an eternity can bring. Hypnotically directed by Neil Jordan, Interview With The Vampire offers enough thrills, shocks and fiendish fun to last a lifetime, and beyond.

Top Notch!Reviewed by Westley from Johannesburg on 01 July 2004

Vampires are fortunately not real... but they sure are alive and well in Hollywood. They are iconic of everlasting life, but by living forever, are bound to darkness... they also tend to leave a nasty bite! This is probably how the average Joe will sketch these familiar bloodsuckers. Enter Interview With the Vampire. Let me start by saying that this film will probably fail to interest a younger audience in that the film moves more to being a director’s artistic take of the best-seller novel by Anne Rice than a good old fashioned “scare, chase, bite, escape” adventure thrill that’s reminiscent of vampires’ place in cinema. I’ve just about completed my collection of vampire movies and this one certainly opens a new window on “the psyche of vampires” that other flicks simply fail to explore. Whilst it may sound silly to sympathize with beings from the underworld, in an eerie kind of way this film does exactly that. It takes you from the humble beginnings of one vampire and, through an interview with a flabbergasted reporter, explores recollections of how his (Pitt) thirst for living blood ultimately overpowers him and drives him to do the unthinkable. Don’t get me wrong, this film still is pretty dark and sinister and does justice to the Fang Club with some dramatic “escape” sequences and clever twists. Another interesting thing is the cast: Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt – arguably two of the most well known and successful actors of their time have already been “immortalized” in Hollywood cinema history – in a sense just like the creatures they are portraying. Then again… Vampires are fortunately not real... but they sure are alive and well in Hollywood.
