don't think less of me for saying this but i would do terrible, disgusting things to 1994 tom cruise
Review by sophie🌻 ★★★★ 3

imdb says the gay subtext from the novel was taken out of the movie but....? sis.... seemed pretty gay to me. it's literally about brad pitt and tom cruise being a married couple and struggling to raise their daughter. the only way it could've gotten any gayer is if brad fucked a peach.

since hollywood loves rebooting everything i thought i’d post my dream cast list for INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE. they’re changing the name because that’s what everyone thinks it’s called anyways

• lestat (tom cruise) will be played by alexander skarsgard. something about him—maybe his raw swedish energy—screams beautiful, chaotic vampire. have a strange feeling he’d be good at brooding flamboyantly

• louis (brad pitt) should be hmm. someone who can play the straight man and i use the term straight man loosely. from what i remember from the sound of music live! i think stephen moyer would be excellent. can’t really explain this one either

• lastly i think the whole concept of having a child in this movie is…
Review by nathaxnne walker (undead) ★★★★★ 13

Tom Cruise draining a rat into a glass like an upside-down Capri Sun is one of the best things to ever happen in a movie. I had read this book when I was in junior high school but the movie had always escaped me. What a mistake! The heat from the Cruise/Pitt romance is palpable, like a glowing fireplace, irradiating the screen. Like Death and the Maiden, if the Maiden was Brad Pitt. Tom completely inhabits the role of Lestat. For one of the first times in his career, he seems free, open and expansive in manner. Neil Jordan knows how to rock a Monster Dinner Party Period Piece and this is the jam - a midpoint between the fairytale…

Review by sneh ★★½

this movie made me want two vampire dads who are proud of me
Review by Jose Jr. Garcia ★★★★

I don't recall this being so slow. It's a bit dull to be perfectly honest. It definitely holds up in terms of production design, costumes, cinematography, and an absolutely magnificent performance from Cruise. The movie would be a true snooze fest without him.
Review by DJ Ballgame ★★★½

Hammy, deeply homoerotic, lavish, appallingly acted film that could only have come out in the 90s. I loved watching this one. Lestat is an excellent tom cruise role. Brad Pitt is very poor in this but magnetic in his epic levels of schlock. I don’t typically like epistolary narratives in movies but Christian slater was the icing on this cake of madness. One of the few vampire movies I like.

Review by ⛓ aleesha ⛓ ★★★½

you’re either an emo louis gay or a jackass lestat gay
Review by Jacob Cunningham ★★★★

My friend: "They removed most of the homoerotic stuff from the book".

Me after watching the movie: "Did they though?"

This was pretty awesome. The cast are all great, it's delightfully gory at times and the ending fucks hard.
Needed more Lestat tho.
