Product Description

The undead are among us and livelier 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 Anne Rice's best seller that's "one the best films of the year" (Caryn James, The New York Times). Award-winning box-office favorite Cruise stylishly plays 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 (The Crying Game), Interview with the Vampire offers enough thrills, shocks and fiendish fun to last a lifetime...and beyond.

One Of The BEST Vampire Movies Ever Made!
Absolutely, blown away by how well the Blu-Ray version is! It's so crystal clear, I can see evey little detail so well, it's spectacular! I'm shocked how well the quality turned out. Hopefully, one day they'll make it in 4k so I can buy it. Anne Rice makes such intriguing characters. The movie itself is so well made! The makeup & costumes make the whole movie feel so real & that ending was amazing! Definitely worth buying! 👍

What if there's ONLY one thing that we suffer from, and this one thing is responsible for all the sickness and vulnerability and dysfunction that afflict humankind? What if this one thing is also the reason we fail to grasp the wisdom we've inherited from our ancestors?

Who feeds on the living? The dead do.
Who brings the nightmare to life? The sleeping do.
Who sees beauty in the soulless lie in the mirror? The blind do.
Who sucks the blood out of an enlightened future? Narcissistic vampires.
Who is more ignorant, the communicator, or the listener who fails to grasp the wisdom of what's been revealed?

What if our ancestors invented the "Vampire" as a metaphor to describe "narcissism", or in other words, the romantic aspects of "ignorance"? And now our modern age makes glamorous romantic movies that mock us to sleep with the very subject of our ancestors' warning.

Did you come here only to be entertained?
Like a naïve actor in a fatal charade, you are lured to the stage by a promise. Strip you bare, expose your naked gullibility, and suck your blood before an audience who paid a fee to witness your demise and applaud and cheer at the bliss of their own blind irony.
Are you not entertained?

You are beautiful; the rose-warm glow of your lips and the sparkle of your eye are rivaled only by the sensual shape of your style. You are a natural splendor, and it's obvious that you've learned how to earn the admiration of the popular and influential. You are rare and exquisite and entirely different from the ordinary; you deserve only the finest of what life has to offer.
You are perfect, and I am cupidity, here to seduce your vanity, now lend me your neck and I promise to make you perfect forever. I will tell you what to wear, whom to love, and which mask to smear upon your face. I will do your thinking for you, and, in exchange, I'll give you a world of guiltless pleasure and confident laughter and privileged indulgence.
You will feed on innocence and corrupt all that is good, thus you will grow to fear the true light of day, but you will also grow cunning and deceptive, and the ugly truth of you will thus be hidden forever by the delicious tricks that shadows play in the dark …now ...lend me your neck.

We are the creatures of our own understanding. Kill the light and the dark outside is invited in.
If the natural purpose of magic is to reveal what only magic knows, is it not then the trick of magic to hide itself in exactly what is unknown?

In the beginning there was the WORD.
There’s a natural magic in the words we use, like when we describe ourselves as “mature, responsible, honest, conscious, beautiful”, our conscience is alerted and expects us to ACT accordingly, but our conscience doesn't sheepishly adopt society's definitions, and when we don’t ACT in accord with the WORDS, our biological system nags at us in an effort to realign us with truth. If we go on ignoring the appeals of the conscience, ignorance festers in our system and drains our true nature like a karmic vampire.
To kill the light of the truth inside is to invite the darkness in.

If the natural purpose of ignorance is to help us feel confident in our environment, is it not then a function of ignorance in our modern age to reflect only a cheap plastic consumable in the mirror?
A love of confidence is a lesson of irony unlearned.

Intuition flows eternal from the fountain of our innocence; innocence is literally consumed by our confidence ...Irony fills the cup equally for friend or foe.

With your head on straight your neck is thoroughly protected.
The WORDS that ignorance uses are “free choice”, the WORDS of reality are “ironic slave”.
Ignorance is the default of our for-profit social system and your "free will" was sucked out of you in the age of your innocence. The REAL choice is to listen to your conscience; it won’t regurgitate the sheepish words of fleeting trends or glamorous movies, and nor will it charge you a fee for the wisdom it reveals ...you are born with a conscience and it knows by instinct the true nature of freedom, and it knows the enlightened purpose of love.
Are you not truly empowered?

If our words are not our own, we cast the dying spell of stagnant facts. The harmonious song that nature sings is the living truth of magic in the present moment …and I am no more a teacher than is the spirit of an innocent child who cries out to the nurturing instinct of your true nature.

Did you know we humans were once free enough in our minds to contemplate the dangers of ignorance and create insightful metaphors to inform an enlightened society?
Did you know that not so long ago we loved one another as a general condition of our social character, and it was possible to walk out your door secure in the knowledge that you'd be treated by others in a way that exactly mirrored the love that you respected upon yourself?
Richen, don't cheapen.
Ennoble, don't enable the delinquency of your own species. (DUH)

Best a luck out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE FIRST, THE BEST, ‘INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE’: POWERFUL & EVOCATIVE.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 16, 2023

This is a review of the 1994 Gothic horror film ‘Interview with the Vampire’. We watched it on the 2013 All Region Blu-ray from Warner Home Video. It plays in 1.85:1 1080p HD, with Dolby Digital TrueHD 5.1 audio. This is a handsome looking and sounding edition, There are no extras.

Anne Rice is the doyen of American gothic fiction, and in 1976, she wrote the first in a series of 13 books about vampires, that she described as ‘a metaphor for lost souls’. That book, the best known in the set, was adapted by Rice herself, for the screenplay of this film. Rice was born in New Orleans, where the film opens, and clearly had a feel for the very extravagantly French atmosphere of the city. She later settled in San Francisco, where the film concludes. She was from an Irish Catholic family, and grew up in a largely Irish Catholic area of New Orleans, which also affected her perceptions of religion, good and evil.

The rights to Rice’s novel were purchased even before publication, but were sold on more than once, before Warner acquired them. They approached the Irish director Neil Jordan, who had form in the field of gothic tales, with the gruesome British cult movie ‘The Company of Wolves’(1984), and had also been successful with British neo-noir ‘Mona Lisa’(1986) and the multi-OSCAR nominated Northern Irish-based thriller ‘The Crying Game’(1992). There is some suggestion he had a hand in the screenplay, alongside Rice.

Rice had very clear ideas as to whom she wanted in the main roles of the predatory and exploitative Lestat, and his target Louis, a vampire who retains vestiges of his humanity. Over the more than a decade between original consideration for a movie, and realisation, numerous candidates were suggested. Rice was deeply dis-chuffed with the final choice of Tom Cruise to play the arch-manipulator Lestat, although she did change her mind after viewing the result ~ she actually apologised publicly.

Cruise, chosen apparently because of his vast audience appeal, in the wake of such blockbuster success as ‘Top Gun’(1986); ‘Rain Man’(1988) and ‘Days of Thunder’(1990), was perhaps a slightly odd pick as Lestat. He always appears more comfortable in modern day stories than costume dramas. However, Cruise looks startlingly handsome in lace cravat and breeches, and exudes an evil and magnetic twinkle. Lestat is also quite an ambiguous character, and his hold over Louis is equivocal. Brad Pitt as Louis is equally interesting. At one point, before she was mollified, Rice did suggest that Pitt and Cruise swapped roles, but Cruise is certainly better as the immoral Lestat. Pitt is good as Louis, managing to convey well, his continuing attempts to hold on to some sort of human moral compass.

Kirsten Dunst, then aged 12, was the very first actress considered to play Claudia, the child saved by Louis, and ensnared by Lestat. She was considered ideal, and she is superb in the part, seeming old beyond her years. She was nominated for a Golden Globe.

The look of the film, the Art Direction (a complex job because of the film’s equally complex time frame and geography) is sumptuously, lavishly, beautiful. It was rightly OSCAR-nominated. Locations included New Orleans and London. Special Effects too (mostly superb makeup, but some CGI) are magnificent.

This is a film beautiful and repellant in equal measure. It is a film about guilt and regret, powerfully, evocatively portrayed.
