Interview With the Vampire Review: AMC's Bloody, Campy Anne Rice Adaptation Goes Grandly Over the Top - TVLine

I’ll say one thing about AMC’s new take on Interview With the Vampire: It’s not subtle.

Rice’s bestselling Gothic vampire novels unabashedly revel in sex, blood and passion, and this Vampire series — premiering Sunday, Oct.

2 at 10/9c; I’ve seen the first three episodes — certainly delivers those things in spades.

He meets Lestat (Sam Reid), a honey-voiced French charmer who takes Louis under his wing and guides him through the ways of being a bloodsucker, from proper feeding and sleeping rituals to the mystical art of reading minds.

As they share a sensual three-way tryst with a prostitute, Lestat sinks his teeth into Louis’ neck — and the primal power of his bite sends them both floating into the air.

The initial thrill of being a vampire eventually wears off, though, giving way to more mundane concerns, and so too does this Interview With the Vampire.

(Note: The child vampire Claudia, played by Kirsten Dunst in the 1994 movie, doesn’t appear in the first three episodes, but casting an older teen in the role — Bailey Bass plays her here — does inevitably blunt some of the shock factor.).

THE TVLINE BOTTOM LINE: AMC’s beautiful new take on Interview With the Vampire is certainly bold and seductive, but it too often tips over into camp.
