Interview with the Vampire (1994)
If I'm being honest, it's difficult for me to give an unbiased review of Interview with the Vampire as a fan of The Vampire Chronicles. The first time I saw it, I scoffed at the theatricality of it all and saw it more as a bad-but-enjoyable sort of movie; with each rewatch, however, there's something delightfully new that I discover. Perhaps this is a good summary for Cruise's career at the time, especially with the choice to play Lestat de Lioncourt, a bisexual vampire antagonist that seemed to be a far cry from his normal acting fare. But to start and stop there would be selling Cruise and Interview with the Vampire too short.
