You know how some shows are huge on social media but they don’t seem to have such a large footprint in the outside world? Well, AMC’s Interview with the Vampire is one such show.
Based on Anne Rice ’s famous book series and primarily set in the 1910s, the show follows the charismatic yet cunning vampire Lestat de Lioncourt , who seduces and eventually turns the affluent Black man Louis de Pointe du Lac . As in the novel, the story is framed as an interview Louis gives to a journalist in 1973.
Then there’s Jacob Anderson as Louis. If Reid’s Lestat is a scar, then Anderson’s Louis is a bruise, trapped blood unable to flow freely, forever confined and unable to just be. Anderson, best known for his role as the stoic Grey Worm in Game of Thrones, is a vast improvement over Brad Pitt’s embarrassingly boring iteration in the 1994 movie. He injects Louis with so much life and agency without betraying the character’s cautiousness.
The show is seductively stylish and Gothic A large reason for Anne Rice’s success is her unique ability to do the Gothic horror subgenre justice. More a literary aesthetic than a proper genre, Gothic fiction thrives on a distinctive and near-unbearable atmosphere of terror, dread, and impending doom. Tragedy is ever-present, often taking place in stately settings vast enough to hide countless secrets.
