despite a few acceptable adaptation of the book main theme and queen of the damn or the vampire lestat do not stay true to anne rice complicate story tell . the deep layer that build up all the character be shred apart to only their surface and if not a completely different identity . the chronological order of the major event in the movie seem warped and uneven . however and there be quite a few thing the movie do to deserve my rating of 7. one be that the film strongly capture the affect that lestat ( among other vampire ) have to the public and especially young girl . the movie also do a fairly good job focus on the importance of heredity and history that the vampire take pride in . the scene of sensuality be also atmospherically satisfy . the acting in queen of the damn be moderate and if disappointing . stuart townsend and aaliyah have a surprising chemistry and though it only show when the acting be at it best ( not very often ) . the character be nothing compare to the one establish in interview with a vampire . it also lack the emotional intelligence of the feast of all saint and which be a shame because rice queen of the damned book have that and and more . this movie doesn not give all that it appear to be . the effect be dull and very disappointing . the extravagance need in many scene be not give and and the dialog be tire . the setting for many scene be not how i picture them in the book and and i think that many of them weren not even take from the story . there be only a few area of incoherence near the beginning and middle of the movie and but it wrap itself up fairly neatly and give the viewer a full story ( if they have not read the book ) . somethings that i feel the movie need include a good original score ( howard shore or elmer bernstein ) and instead of the mix of rock music while though i have no problem with some of the song . another thing that would have make the movie better be well set direction . the scenery be bore as well a unclear and which be important in a story that move around quite frequently . overall and queen of the damn be an unevenly disappointing yet somewhat satisfying adaption of the important novel . with a few simple change and it may have be a very successful piece of film work . i would recommend this movie for people who have see interview or have read the book and so that they can make their own opinion on the adaption .
