Interview with the Vampire

I have read Anne Rice's vampire novels, not all of them but enough to get a clear impression of her writing style, characterisations and settings for her work.

Interview with the Vampire, for me, largely misses the mark on each and every count.The characters don't feel like the Rice's, they lack the personality and finesse, she infused her characters with. The time period/setting is in many respects, off the mark, too.

Worse still, there's is politic's infused into this work. There's a dash of rather obvious negative Russian messaging and yet more woke-ism, I personally, could have done without.

Acting is of a high standard. I feel its a genuine shame so much else is off. This could have worked if they had paid closer attention ...

So this is one of those titles that IMDb will remove your review if it's not positively glowing.

I'm not sure why, the source material was already really progressive. It was essentially a story about two Gay men who happen to be vampires... and their violent break up. But it was subtle, it was artistic, and it had more of a story to tell about good and evil among other things.

Subtle is the key, because in the 2022 version, there is nothing subtle or artistic. Vampires can't have sex in the novels to up the sexual tension and angst. In this title I guess they didn't think it would be woke enough if it wasn't 9 and 1/2 Weeks with Vampires.

And then they changed Louis, which means that they had to change the entire timeline of t...

Oh, Americans with their obsession with race and LGBT propaganda...

This TV show is nothing new, just another woke crap thing coming from Holywood. Didn't expect anything good from them nowadays...

I'm not rating this show too low because production and acting is decent, but it's a shame that all this must be ruined by propaganda and agenda. I can't give this show more than 4/10, sorry, well actually, I'm not sorry.
