    Sex, blood, and rock 'n' roll reign in Queen of the Damned, a stylish adaptation of books two and three in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles series. Trading in the Southern Gothic of Interview with the Vampire, the first Rice horror adaptation, for a modern-day story, Queen follows the vampire Lestat (Stuart Townsend) as he is roused from a centuries-long hibernation to become a rock star -- only to awaken an ancient and dangerous Egyptian vampire queen Akasha (Aaliyah). Extensive flashbacks tell of Lestat's previous nascence as a vampire, and a serious love story unfolds between him and an admiring mortal (Marguerite Moreau). Nothing is understated in Queen of the Damned: Costumes, makeup, and sets are flamboyantly gothic; tattoos and body-piercings abound. But the real fun is watching Lestat as a contemporary idol, from his slickly produced music videos to a blow-out concert in Death Valley. Townsend dons the rock-star mantle rather well, strutting across the stage with a poise fueled by fame and adulation. Meanwhile, Aaliyah handles her role with real confidence, dominating her scenes with an exotic erotica. Fans of Rice's novels may find the books' elaborately conceived mythology a bit simplified, but what remains is faithful to the spirit of the author's vision. The result is a film that indulges in dark, sexy fantasies with a kind of unabashed glee that is hard to resist. Gregory Baird, Barnes & Noble

    June 16, 2009: Wow. I love this move. Besides the fact that Jesse is very annoying throughout the movie. She sort of changes to be with Lestat which i find totally dumb for her to do (and he notices). She stalks him a lot. Lestat on the other hand is what MADE the movie. I haven't read the book, which is probably why i find this movie so amazing. I like how they used Korn and Disturbed (i believe) as Lestat's singing voice. It's quit different how the queen is beautiful and has color despite the fact that she's a vampire and most people would imagine her to be pale. This movie was way different than all the other vampire movies and is a lot better than twilight. BUT warning. If your looking forward to the queen coming in the beginning of the movie... you are in for a wait.

    One thing I'd like to add is... the movie seems to be wrong when it comes to the name. I haven't read any of the books and This was the first movie i've seen... but is it jsut me or is Queen of the Damned... The Vampire Lestat? I just read what the vampire Lestat is about and it seems to me that that book is this movie.

    April 10, 2009: WHen i first watched this movie, i'm not gonna lie i loved it i thought it was amazing. Just this past year i have read the book,and let me tell you the movie was nothing like the book the book is the best vamprie book i have ever read. They changed so much like made Marius turned Lestat into a vampire what the crap, Magnus was the one who turned him. IN the movie they killed off Pandora and i think that might have been Khayman not sure if it was Khayman, but if Pandora is dead how the h*ll is there going to be a book called Pandora. I'm really shocked that anne didn't get that upset from this poorly done adaptation of her amazing book. The only part i liked in this book was Stewart Townsend but he aint even good looking enough to have made this movie any better then what it was.
