Editorial Review:
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.
Description of Interview with the Vampire [Blu-ray]:
When it was announced that Tom Cruise would play the vampire Lestat in this adaptation of Anne Rice's bestselling novel, even Rice chimed in with a highly publicized objection. The author wisely and justifiably recanted her negative opinion when she saw Cruise's excellent performance, which perceptively addresses the pain and chronic melancholy that plagues anyone cursed with immortal bloodlust. Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst are equally good at maintaining the dark and brooding tone of Rice's novel. And in this rare mainstream project for a major studio, director Neil Jordan compensates for a lumbering plot by honoring the literate, Romantic qualities of Rice's screenplay. Considered a disappointment while being embraced by Rice's loyal followers, the movie is too slow to be a satisfying thriller, but it is definitely one of the most lavish, intelligent horror films ever made. --Jeff Shannon
Interview with the Vampire [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Vamps 
2009-12-23 - This movie tells the story of vampires from a vampires point of view. Moving through the ages without aging and never dying. Lonely and cold. Also tells the story of the vampire Lestat- who is names in many other vampire movies... namely Queen of the Damned. This is a must for the vampire fan to have in their collection.
Blu Ray transfer looks terrible. 
2009-12-16 - I cant believe this is being sold as a Blu Ray dvd. It does not look like a Blu Ray at all, but rather a standard dvd. This movie deserves better than this. Save your money.
Great movie. 
2009-12-13 - Great movie. This quality of the blu-ray was not really great. It's ok. Maybe older movies should not be made into blu-ray.
Interview with the vampire 
2009-11-21 - I love this movie and it was in terrific shape. I am a good fan of Anne rices books.
Great movie but iffy picture quality in some spots 
2009-11-04 - Interview With the Vampire is a great vampire film. It is based on the Anne Rice novel of the same title.It begins in modern day San Francisco when a reporter interviews a man who claims to be a vampire. Then the vampire begins to tell his story. Overall the film has a great plot I will not venture further into it for those who have not seen it. I would rate the film a 4.5/5 the picture quality 4/5 and audio a 4/5 overall this is a great purchase especially considering how great of a price it is at you can't go wrong.
