Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles

"Drink from me and live forever"

Nov 11 1994 R 2h 3m
Drama, Horror

A vampire relates his epic life story of love, betrayal, loneliness, and dark hunger to an over-curious reporter.

Plot

Against the backdrop of a gloomy San Francisco, the nearly two-century-old vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac, recounts the unbelievable story of his eternal transformation and a life worse than death to the sceptic reporter, Daniel Molloy. Spanning two hundred years of cruel betrayals, extreme solitude, and unquenched thirst, Louis' grimly fascinating tale pivots around his perpetually regrettable decision to embrace the dictatorship of blood, and, above all, his maker: the seductive blonde aristocrat of death, Lestat de Lioncourt. Is Louis' mystical epic of bloodshed genuine? Is this, indeed, an interview with a vampire?
