Product Description

It's her time. Her place. The wickedly regal Mother of All Vampires is ready again to rule! Aaliyah plays the title role in this stylish shocker based on Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles. Stuart Townsend portrays Lestat, the undead antihero previously seen in the movie version of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. This time, Lestat finds acceptance in a tattooed and pierced world. He's a rock star. And his intoxicating Goth-riffed sound rekindles the desires of all-powerful Akasha.

From The New Yorker
The late, great R. & B. singer Aaliyah makes her appearance about halfway through this bloodless vampire chronicle based on Anne Rice's wacky novel. Stuart Townsend plays Lestat, the night stalker who awakens the Queen from her slumber with garish rock tunes. The whole film is a swishy, rococo howl-too humorless to be camp (although most of the cast puts on a hysterical Transylvanian accent) and dull beyond reason. -Bruce Diones

Customer Reviews

3 stars for the film itself; 5 stars for the DVD; an average of 4
Here's my viewpoint, QOTD as a movie isn't really the best movie I've ever seen. It has its moments, especially the scene between Akasha and Lestat in the pool with rose petals with the song "Change" playing. That's the scene that got me into the movie. I admit, there are some parts I get bored during. But there are scenes that I absoloutely love. The movie is entertaining though, as well as sexy. And Aaliyah is also in this movie, showing if she was not taken from us at such a young age, she had so much to offer us. Stewart Townsend makes a sexy vampire, though I was actually dissappointed that he doesn't look like he does in the film.

Now, the special features on the DVD are great. I love the music videos. I watch those a lot. And the extended concert footage is really good. I've seen the movie 3 times before buying the DVD. I've now owned the DVD for a month and really have yet to watch the movie. I watch the videos. The songs are great. (And I do admit to having a thing for the bassist in the band, which is a big plus when it comes to my love of the videos). The special features are worth it for me. That's the main reason I bought the DVD too.

queen of the damned

So Sexy and Smart.. I LOVED it!!!
I am not sure why people are giving this movie a bad name. I have not read the Anne Rice version I guess her's is better (like always). Either way this movie was so sexy, Lestadt made me want to give myself to him. lestadt made me want to love him and take care of him. I felt closer to the vampire race. This movie really made mewant to be a vampire. I loved the love story. I LOVED the music! The soundtrack is great for love making;-) One of the top 5 best vampire movies I have seen.
