31 Posts Of Halloween: Queen Of The Damned

Queen Of The Damned is a 2002 vampire movie based on the Anne Rice novel of the same name.

Okay, I'll admit that I enjoy a good vampire film. Heck, I even like a good gothic film. I want to know one thing though, who the hell green lit this movie?
I don't really know how to describe this film... I think Queen Of The Damned is supposed to be a sequel film to, Interview With A Vampire, but it doesn't seem like it.
I paused the film at about the half way mark, and that's when the conflict is first introduced. Everything before that is pretty much an incoherent mess.
The acting is subpar, and the actors seem like this is the first time that they were in front of a camera. It almost reminds me of that terrible Dracula film that had Bela Lugosi in it. The main characters over act or under act, but they never truly give a good performance.
This movie seems like it was made by someone who wanted to be a vampire and a goth yet knew nothing about either.
Queen Of The Damned is a terrible film that should have never been made, but I have seen much worse vampire films than this one.

final score: 2.2/5

The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
