Snake5555555555 07/08/19 6:54:46 PM #319:	Sorry, was waiting on write-ups! 9. Interview with the Vampire Genny - 1 Scarlet - 2 Charon - 3 Karo - 5 Snake - 11 Johnbobb - 14 KBM - 17 JONA - 27 Inviso - 36 Genny - Interview with the Vampire features some amazing performances from Pitt, Cruise, Dunst, and Banderas. One vampire in particular, Lestat steals every scene he's in and serves as a flawless foil to Louis and his dwindling morals and humanity. I have nothing but praise for the costuming and stage designs, set against an accurately picturesque New Orleans backdrop. It's simply a gorgeous movie containing one of the most delightful bastards set to film. 9.7/10 Scarlet - Look, its a full-length film about the guy Cassidy hung out with in Preacher Season 3. Whats not to love? The highest compliment I can pay this film is to say that I think it deserves an HBO-style adaptation. Rating: 84/100 Charon - An engaging dark tale of vampires in a unique light; full of love, death and betrayal, this film seldom ever disappoints. The art direction of this film is fantastic, and of note, during our vacation to New Orleans a couple of months ago Genny and I got to see some of the filming locations used in the movie. It's really hard to ask for any horror movie to do better than casting Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, in the same movie no less. Their characters are of course the centerpiece of the film, though the insertion of Dunst's character made for some good dynamics as well. It's not quite the perfect movie, as it does stutter just a bit in the later acts since the movie can't go on forever, but it's still the best vampire movie I can remember watching. Karo - A centuries-old vampire dictates his life story for a books-on-tape series and the story follows him throughout the years as he searches for others of his kind. Louis is a compelling character who struggles with the conflict between his monster instincts and human morality and it is interesting to see how him and Claudia react differently to their transformation. It is not without problems, it is a mite longer than it really needs to be and the ending is laughably stupid (random Lestat why) but it remains engrossing throughout. Snake - Why I Chose It - Interview with the Vampire is one of the most well-known vampire films of the modern era, an adaptation of the Anne Rice novel that notoriously took close to 20 years to fully make and develop. It had a particularly high budget for a horror and vampire film at the time. It was a huge success at the box office and has two Oscar nominations under its belt. This film also exposed Kirsten Dunst to a wider audience, and she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as Claudia. My Thoughts - Interview with the Vampire is just solid in all aspects. The performances are incredible all-around, especially Tom Cruise's Lestat. The film keeps it pretty simple when it comes to the vampire mythology, but I love a good, straight-forward approach to the vampire genre every now and then. It's largely character driven and a true Shakespearean tragedy in many regards. The framing device of the titular interview also gives the story a nice flow that always leaves you eagerly awaiting for what happens next. Yeah, it's just great all-around! --- I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back. https://i.imgtc.ws/2Q88rI4.gif - https://i.gifer.com/E07R.gif <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:924422225] in Gauntlet C...
