Vampire Lestat awakens from his slumber and becomes a rock star. But chaos strikes when his music awakens Akasha, the vampire queen, who may not rest until she makes Lestat her new king.
So much potential squandered away. A good story, but the casting really ruin much of the movie for me. The acting is stiff and over the top, and everybody is chewing up the scenery like there is no tomorrow. Its very much a movie of its time. Even more when you listen to the soundtrack. Which is one the things that actually works quite well in the movie. The special effects are actually not that bad and at some point actually quite beautiful.
