Queen of the Damned What was once a terrifying creature has now been turned into something that sparkles and seduces seventeen year old girls. Vampire movies have really changed over the years, each having their own way of displaying vampires to their audiences. Anne Rice, the author of the book Queen of the Damned, shows vampires in a way that most wouldn’t consider normal. Bringing the immortal into the music culture allows Rice’s main character Lestat to feel on top of the world again. With a healthy balance of blood and death, this movie allows its audience to learn Lestat’s history, while a dark soundtrack provides the scenery. All vampire movies include one thing that sets the plot…show more content…
Many times throughout the movie this rule had been brought up causing the deaths to be very surprising. The vampires all knew that if they were to drink to the last drop that they would die, but the only solution to the movie’s problem was to drink Akasha dry. This movie was created in the early 2000’s and the CGI was very well done compared to today’s graphics. It was very realistic and stunned me when watching it for the first time.

My interests were to always in Lestat’s favor while watching this movie and the soundtrack did a fabulous job on keeping it that way. Watching this movie was almost like living it. Many people who read a lot have very vivid images and scenes play in their heads while reading, they are completely immersed into the plot and become one with the story. I felt like I was reading the movie rather than watching it and really being in the scenes with its characters. The beautiful graphics and makeup made it seem so much more real to me. I felt very disconnected after the movie ended, not knowing what to do with my life I decided to watch it again. Queen of the Damned is one of my favorite movies of all time and match my criteria completely, making it a real vampire
