It's a rather mediocre contemporary adaptation of IWTV. The changes to the characters are good, with Lester becoming a playboy who travels from France to New Orleans looking for fun, and Louie is a black pimp who carries the secret that he is gay in the white world. The story is more popularized and explicit, Lestat lures Louis into becoming a vampire because he sees how special Louis is and how Louis has to waste his life in the mundane world because of his skin color and sexual orientation and wants to take Louis away from it. Louis has too much burden and secrets on his shoulders, so he also wants to escape and he chooses Lestat. But the director fails to portray Louis' suffering and inner struggle that it seems a bit abrupt for Louis to succumb to Lestat's temptation. The thunder and lightning sound effects and bloody killings at this point in the plot's climax seems too cheesy because of the lack of powerful emotion.
