Aaliyah's make-up in this movie was fire asf XD🥰😍🔥🖤

[@LordVolkov]

"Does he become like a hotboy rock star?" "Yes!" QotD - where vampirism is denoted by silver eyeliner. I do appreciate how horny this adaptation is, despite how much it messes with Lestat's backstory (and the bits and pieces it uses from QotD 😅). For more horny vampires - Dracula 2000, with Gerard Butler

OMG theres a Gerard Butler vampire movie?! 👀

This is not just a lestat story in the book. It’s a compilation of different vampire stories you get to meet Pandora you get to meet lestats mother gaberiel

[@bel410la]

This was my favorite movie for a long time, I dont know how I didn't notice it for such a long time but I am bisexual and this movie is clearly what should have opened my eyes, the scene with Akasha and Lestat in the rose petal bath should have been enough, but then I again I was just born when this movie came out. XD Also RIP to the actress who played Akasha, she died shortly after they finished filming before the movie came out.

[@alsome5935]

Aaliyah ❤

[@niles8102]

This and The Matrix were my male bisexual awakening movies. Even Marius was hot af!

[@katayfa]

Aaliyah was murdered by Jayzee

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

Jonathan Davis really got to what it would be like for a hundred years old vampire with the lyrics

[@NicoleM_radiantbaby]

I remember at the time the film sort of bombed, aside from lots of hype around Aaliyah's recent death. I know, for me, as a MASSIVE Anne Rice book fan at the time, I was originally disappointed that they'd basically crammed both 'The Vampire Lestat' and 'Queen of the Damned' into one film and just glossed over so many characters. BUT, I've since come around on the film and have a soft spot for it outside of relating it to the books. I usually just tell people to ignore the book-stuff when watching it and just enjoy it on it's own. That seems to work best for me. 😀 P.S. I still always forget how freaking hot Paul McGann looks in this film, but that's the Doctor Who fangirl in me speaking.

[@cotevallejos7230]

Also I would recommend for you to do next “Warm Bodies” with Nicholas Hoult, is a really good movie! It has the perfect combination between romance, tragedy, comedy and well... zombies 🤣

[@ShipFantastic]

Yes! I hate zombie movies but it's sooowah good!

[@SauronsAccntnt]

Agreed. I was expecting it to be cringey but it was actually great!

[@Sara01977]

Great movie!

[@YuukiiHON]

I was confused by the live chat haha oh man! I love this movie, RIP Aaliyah, she was a wonderful Queen, shame she didn’t get to finish the movie but even so, the scenes she was in, she did it great in my opinion. Love the reaction! Good to know I’m not the only one xD “I hate how this makes me feel” hahaha

[@tubefan91]

Aaliyah did finish the movie. It was fully completed, she just needed her lines re-dubbed, which her brother Rashad did for her. This actually ended up giving her voice a more demon like and otherworldly vibe with their voices intertwined.

[@swacfan100]

No disrespect to the guy who played Lestat. But Aaliyah CARRIED this movie, her performance was amazing. It just saddens me that this was her last role. She was just coming into herself as a performer. Akasha was frightening, arrogant, and yes sexy. Aaliyah embodied that in this performance. RIP Babygirl Aaliyah ❤

[@ShipFantastic]

The amount of times I yell, SAME! 😆

[@cotevallejos7230]

OMGGG yes yes yes!!! I’ve been feeling pretty tired and down these days and I just literally screamed of happiness!! 🤣💕 This is my favorite vampire movie (The entire vampire chronicles by Anne Rice are amazing!!) Thank you so much for listening your audience! You guys are the best! ❤️

Aliyah and the soundtrack saved this movie.

This was my gateway drug too OMG. I was obsessed!

[@WretchedDrummer]

We need more people to react to this movie! Its an awesome film

[@thekimberlyanna]

“Why do you have so many dolls?”😂😂

[@katieoros6764]

I remember always being taken out of this film by the fact that Lestat apparently went to Bako to start Korn 🤣 If you grew up when that music was new it was just such a weird thing to see that voice coming out of this man and for it to be done as if he's supposed to just be the hottest thing 🤣🤣🤣

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

One of my favorite movies and soundtracks , this movie is a part of my bisexual identity

[@florenciahoracio8517]

I found this movie when i was 13 and i got obsessed, i watched it AT LEAST once a day for months 😭 yes this movie did make me found out i was bi

[@barnabasstewart4104]

You want fan fiction.... just read the books! This movie was based off of two books from The Vampire Chronicles, "The Vampire Lestat" and " Queen of the Damned"...more so the former. But I swear, The Vampire Chronicles series is so good you won't be able to put it down! Also, please tell me you two will react to the new show coming out based off of the first book in the series???

[@demontrash]

yeah we plan to react to the first episode of the new interview with a vampire series and see if people are interested!

[@jaydub3047]

This is NOTHING like the book except that it has a few of the same characters.

[@boop79]

Because he is…?

[@randomgeekcrap]

​​@@boop79 Nope lestat is a queer man/vampire the love of his life is a man this is the same lestat form interview with a vampire it's based on the book that they butchered and they only did it to spite the writer who was the trying to get her rights back

[@shawneldridge4465]

The two greatest vampire movies there is Queen of the damned and the first Lost boys movie. 1987, I believe when it came out

[@aaronbarlow4376]

I think most of the hate for this movie comes from Ann Rice purists that have read the books and rage over the movie not being exactly the same, and also the type of people that jump on the hate bandwagon so they can feel artistically superior and intellectual. In reality it was an entertaining movie with a great soundtrack.

[@ashscott6068]

This is a terrible movie, and we all know it. But there's still something about it. It's just so raunchy. And Jonathan Davies' vocals are so perfect for it. They're just so strange and inhuman sounding. Plus the songs are actually GOOD! As long as you can get over the books, this is a really fun movie.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Hot vampire - "I'm so alone" These 2 - "You poor thing...let me help.." Normal average/ugly guy - "I'm so alone" These 2 - "Get a life and grow some balls emo loser!" ;)

The "trail" effect when the vampires are using their speed is STUPID. They could have done that effect much better

[@markcraft]

By the way , that wasn't actor voice singing that was jonathan davis( the lead singer of korn) voice

[@Userinterfaceexperience]

But it was in the New Korn style vs the good old stuff. Not saying this wasn’t good. Just not their best.

[@Userinterfaceexperience]

Lestat’s music was like “New Korn” 😅

What I don't understand about this movie is that how do you combined parts of the 2nd and 3rd books and end up with a movie that's just 90 minutes long ?

Love this movie no matter how “bad” it’s considered. Saw it in theaters with my parents when I was 10 and I was into pale, goth boys ever since lol. I always hated Jesse’s character because she was annoying and obsessed with Lestat. “Leave Lestat alone!” Lol 😅

[@ALEXA_beep]

Favorite vampire at the moment I kind of got over vampires in movies, after twilight, interview with a vampire and queen of the damned, and I just thought “ok, I’m over vampires” BUT…. then I discovered vampires in video games. I know you only do movie commentaries, but I would be really curious to hear your opinion on my current fav vampire: Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3. He ahhh….. Just made me realize that I wasn’t actually over vampires just yet 😂

[@SamoanObsidian]

Marius was my favorite. So sexy the way he says “Akasha please” ❤️. Stuart was a terrible Lestat. Even the author Ann Rice didn't like the way he was played. Aaliyah to me was the best female vampire (Akasha) in the history of women vampires, she was beautifully stunning and dangerous.

I saw this movie first and then I watched interview with a vampire and now I'm listening to the audiobooks but still love the movies as they are, plus the soundtrack is my religion. I fell in love with Aaliyah our queen and only queen and the actor Lestat because of his gothic dead look arrogant he had going on. I am liking the books and am accepting the TV show with Sam Reid's cuz Sam is so hot, but they have to keep up with Aaliyah or I won't be able to watch it. ill just watch a person review the eps and react to it lol

Dommy Mommy.

[@sbaby-np5hy]

I do believe that Aaliyah was a much better singer than an actress I'm sorry if I'm sounding like I'm spitting on her grave but Queen of the Damned was an absolute mess in my opinion. Thank goodness she will be remembered for her singing and her music. I had never seen it when it came out after she passed away and I was I believe a sophomore in high school and I got it just about a month or two ago I ordered it off of Amazon thinking okay I'm going to get it out of respect for Aaliyah this was her last movie she really wanted to spread her wings and become an actress and I sat through it with my husband and both of us were just like no. One of my big things was the main character of Lestat trying to look like he's really singing when in fact he's lip-syncing to Jonathan Davis of Korn. Now I'm not the biggest fan of Korn to begin with that's more my husband genre of music. If you really watch the one scene where he's singing to a song that Jonathan Davis recorded you can absolutely tell his lips just do not match up to the scene with Jonathan Davis did

Whre is season 2 of interview the vampire reaction? :) theyre moving on the second book and eventually the Queen of the Damned!
