Interview with the Vampire

I have read Anne Rice's vampire novels, not all of them but enough to get a clear impression of her writing style, characterisations and settings for her work. Interview with the Vampire, for me, largely misses the mark on each and every count.The characters don't feel like the Rice's, they lack the personality and finesse, she infused her characters with. The time period/setting is in many respects, off the mark, too. Worse still, there's is politic's infused into this work. There's a dash of rather obvious negative Russian messaging and yet more woke-ism, I personally, could have don…

So this is one of those titles that IMDb will remove your review if it's not positively glowing. I'm not sure why, the source material was already really progressive. It was essentially a story about two Gay men who happen to be vampires... and their violent break up. But it was subtle, it was artistic, and it had more of a story to tell about good and evil among other things. Subtle is the key, because in the 2022 version, there is nothing subtle or artistic. Vampires can't have sex in the novels to up the sexual tension and angst. In this title I guess they didn't think it would be…

This is the first product of a collaboration between **_Anne Rice_** and her son **_Christopher Rice_**(also an author), deciding to rework her own novels as a TV series universe after reclaiming the production rights from Universal Studios. Unfortunately some fans did not get that memo, so have dismissed it as Hollywood "woke crap" that doesn't respect the source material. You'll find many reviews online that go down that route of ignorance, but both the original books, and the reimagined TV show version are examples of how creatity can deliver variations of the same tale that both work withi…

Typical that this show would be teeming with loser reviews about "Wokeness" newsflash you're watching a tv show based on a book about gay vampires. GOD FORBID a character be poc, absolute crybabies. This show is objectively better than the movie and deeper than the books,as well as being able to be legitimately queer from the get go which, wouldn't you be surprised! Anne rice wasnt able to do at the time due to homophobia. If you're gonna complain about "wokeness" maybe dont be watching possibly the gayest media to exist you absolute weirdos...

The first two seasons are perfect. Literally like the best show ever. CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE. Dont listen to the shitty reviews they literally just have bad taste, watch it for yourself and see, you wont be dissapointed. _(im iffy so far on the 3rd season which is unfortunate as im sooo fond of the first 2, but i think they were going for a total switch up and a campy comedy, which is true to the book, The Vampire Lestat, and true to the stark and jarring difference going from reading the first book to the second... So im here for the ride lol)_
