Review of Queen of the Damned (2002) by Andrea M — 19 Nov 2009

Great movie about a vampire named Lestat (Stuart Townsend) who awakens in modern times and becomes a rockstar of all things. He is then accepted by millions of fans but not by other vampires as he begins admitting through his lyrics that he is indeed a vampire and that others should come out of hiding and expose themselves as well. Needless to say this does not sit well with the others as all vampires are to keep themselves out of the public eye and live only as mythical creatures to the public. All this feuding and fighting stirs up the re-awakening of the Queen mother of all vampires Akasha (played by the late Aaliyah) who decides she wants Lestat to be her king and eventually kill as many people as they can, except Lestat isn't too crazy about the idea, but how do you turn down your Queen and live to tell about it?

One of my favorite vampire films of all time. It's dark, gothic, sexy and with a killer soundtrack from bands like, Disturbed, Static X and Jonathan Davis of Korn.
