I'd like to tell you the story of my life.

One of the most memorable films in the gothic horror genre is Interview with the Vampire (1994), based on the bestselling novel by Anne Rice, who also wrote the screenplay. Directed by Neil Jordan and starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, it tells the story of Louis, a young man from New Orleans haunted by guilt after his brother's death. Transformed into a vampire, he becomes an eternal inhabitant of the night. However, even in the darkness, the most human of feelings haunt him… especially love.
