Interview with the Vampire is one of those movies that transcends its horror label, appealing equally to general audiences and to those who love gothic, atmosphere-driven vampire films. The movie’s accessibility, phenomenal ensemble performances, and sleek visual direction made it a pop culture phenomenon, reinventing the vampire genre upon release and setting the stage for many TV series and movies. From Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Twilight, many modern horror films owe some of their structure to this contemporary classic vampire tale.
