In modern day San Francisco, Vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Brad Pitt) begins to tell his epic, centuries-spanning, globetrotting life story to reporter Daniel Molloy (Christian Slater): it’s a sprawling tale of love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger that follows a transformative encounter with iconic antihero vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise), in this sumptuously gothic adaptation of Anne Rice’s beloved novel by acclaimed director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game).
Amassing a dedicated cult following over its 30 years since it first stalked the big screen, particularly so in the wake of the critically acclaimed new television adaptation, this 1994 favourite co-stars Antonio Banderas, Thandiwe Newton, Stephen Rea, and an unforgettable turn by a young Kirsten Dunst. A fabulously campy, gothic hothouse of a vampire film, this visually gorgeous romp is a terrifically fun, very ‘90s addition to the vampire film canon.
