Let’s break down the beauty, horror, and heartbreak of Interview with the Vampire.

AMC’s Interview with the Vampire is a haunting, gothic masterpiece that redefines Anne Rice’s classic story through the lens of race, queerness, and power. This deep dive explores the tragic, abusive relationship between Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt—one built on manipulation, control, and toxic love.

This adaptation transforms Interview with the Vampire into a radical, hauntingly relevant story about survival, identity, and the devastating cost of love in a world built on power and control.
