This is a movie that I loved very much before. Aaliyah, who played the Queen of Akasha, died in 2001, which is a pity. Stuart Townsend of Vampire Leista is very, very amazing! It shows the mystery of the vampire, glamorous and charming, it is worth seeing!

The plot is mediocre, with little imagination. It attracts us kids who love rock through rock and roll

Lestat: How did you manage to slip through the 50's in red velvet?
Marius: I slept.
Lestat: Don't think you've missed much.
Marius: Elvis?
Lestat: Elvis, yes.
Marius: You're bigger than he is now.

Akasha: My children. Warms my blood to see you all gathered plotting against me.
Maharet: Akasha.
Akasha: Maharet. You will address my king first.
Jesse: Lestat, what has she done to you?
Marius: Lestat, step aside.
Lestat: Never.
Maharet: The world has changed since you reigned.
Akasha: Then we shall change it back. Human are animals. Brute creatures. Their destruction can only make sense.
Marius: Akasha, please!
Akasha: You think you can change my will? I've had enough of this discussion. Join me or die!
Maharet: I will not.
Pandora: I will not.
Armand: I will not.
Marius: I will not.
Akasha: [to Lestat] Do you love me?
Lestat: Yes.
Akasha: Then prove it. Kill her.
Lestat: She means nothing to me.
Akasha: Just the same. I'd like for you to kill her.
Maharet: You will not touch her!
Akasha: You dare to challenge me, Maharet?
Jesse: No it's all right, Aunt Maharet. It's what I want.
Akasha: How sweet.
Akasha: [after Jesse is killed] See my children? Remember your real family, or join hers.
