Interview with the Vampire (1994)
Interview with the Vampire (1994)
1994 | Fantasy, Horror
How can a movie that does practically everything wrong still be so thoroughly enchanting? A fundamentally baffling, scalding hot trainwreck of epic proportions that hasn't held up to the passage of time really at all - a miscalculated weirdo relic of pop culture history. I think a lot of this film's appeal has to do with the fact that it's complete lightning in a bottle - for better or for worse we will never see another movie like this again: mopey, homoerotic rococo vampires stumble around through a flounderingly-paced pre-𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 template for lectures on moral dilemmas and a gallery of some of the most lush period visuals of the 90s (from the sweltering plantations of the 1700s south to the decadence of gothic European high-life, it's all orgasmically displayed). Also this is maybe the best use of "Sympathy For The Devil" in a film, even if it is an inferior cover. The fact that Brad Pitt wanted to die the entire time while filming for this woefully underconstructed character actually makes it the only thing that works with it, considering his only defining feature is... that he wants to die. A totally birdbrained brothel of jagged writing and wicked scenery-chewing from a glorious cast (you know you're in for a treat when Christian Slater gives the most restrained performance lol), actually pretty great even though it disembowels a lot of the original text's depth. Full-tilt camp.

WICKED GAMES is the first book in the Silvercrest U series, and I'm already hooked! Felix and Killian's story ticked all the right boxes for me.

Due to a family tragedy, Felix and Killian are forced to share a room at the University they both attend. This is something neither of them wanted. However, it does mean they see more of each other than is usual. And when I say see more of each other, I mean that in every sense. Felix comes across as fluffy and light, but he has hidden depths, trust me. As for Killian, Jace, and Jax, what you see is what you get. I certainly wouldn't cross any of them!

My heart broke for Felix as he dealt with everything that was thrown at him, and yet I loved how his relationship with the guys changed. Seeing Jace and Jax tuck him under their wing was so good, in a warped and twisted kinda way. I especially loved seeing the small snippets as Killian realised his feelings for Felix were changing.

Such a brilliant start to the series. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and I can't wait to return to Silvercrest U!
