      A gorgeous goth metal feast

      Forget that this film is actually a follow-up to "Interview with the Vampire", which has an important place in the history of vampire movies. All from Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. There are twelve books in the "Chronicles" series. The first of which is the famous "Interview with the Vampire" (Interview with the Vampire 1976). The Vampire Lestat (1987) and The Queen of the Damned (1989). The second and third respectively.
      The film mixed the second and third, but the final effect seems...

      Too disappointed

      Highly recommended, because the new Twilight hasn't come out yet, so I have to use it to quench my thirst~~~ Eh, it's not a vampire~~~ I have to say that the plot is very general, neither impact nor small warmth, and many places are not explained. clear. The male pig's feet are more handsome than Twilight's, but since the characters themselves are not as well shaped as Twilight, they are also slightly inferior. The female pig's feet are not as good as Twilight, only that Akasha is not bad~~~ I...

      worst vampire movie

      Sucks! It can't be rotten any more!
      I started watching movies that were supposed to describe female vampires, but after watching it, I found that it wasn't the case at all. The Queen Vampire is just an introduction, an excuse, a pretense.
      The worst thing is that the whole movie is run through with Gothic music. The extreme passion shown by goths and the extreme passion shown by vampires are not the same category, but the director mistakenly confuses them. It can only be said that the...

      Let Mary Sue turn into a vampire, let's spare us humans

      I wanted to watch this a long time ago, but I thought that the so-called vampire turned into a rock singer and fell in love with an exorcist was too nonsense, so I haven't watched it... Recently I was scanning movies and watched it online... um, it's really good Nonsense (death)

      Although Her Lady Queen is dressed like a stripper, she looks so good, so beautiful, that soft and nimble waist twists every step of the way... But to show the wildness of vampires, she always hunches her...

      Vampires still have to die

      I haven't watched the film that I got a long time ago, but I was looking for it for aliyah, the ruthless singer. Later, I heard that the male vampire in it was stunning, and I was more determined to watch it. After reading it, I realized that the cat was really not interested in growing into that type of handsome guy. It's not that he's not handsome, it's that cats are not interested.

          The film tells the story of a vampire who wakes up from a long sleep and finds that the world has...

      I wanted to watch it when I was a fan of Vincent Perez back then, but the plot is so young, I really don't want to watch it. Is Lestat's singing skills too good to be a...
