Queen of the Damned

:

Critics' Reviews

50
Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
At its best, Queen is campy fun like the Vincent Price horror classics of the '60s. At its worst, it implodes in a series of very bad special effects.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Jay Carr
Degenerates into a lot of dull declaiming and attitudinizing, despite a sly tongue-in-cheek quality brought by a preening Stuart Townsend to the Lestat role he inherited from the utterly humorless Tom Cruise.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Mike Clark
If you're going because you want to see an entertaining horror movie, good luck.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lisa Schwarzbaum
Maybe in a few years the incoherent gaudiness of this underperforming sequel to ''Interview With A Vampire'' -- will have transmuted into a kind of appreciable camp. Until that time, however, we're stuck with this damned productionRead Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
Like many genuinely awful movies, Queen of the Damned has the ingredients of a cult film.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Damien Cave
Just as the author's characters suffer through their immortality, as they crave closure and a death to their blood-sucking madness, so Queen of the Damned demands an end to its own misery.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Jane Dark
Aaliyah fans, as well as fans of charisma, sex, and violence, will be sorely disappointed.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: A.O. Scott
"Queen" is a movie that stoops to jokes like calling Lestat's CD "a monster hit"; the movie is just a plain old monster.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Stephen Hunter
What saddened me, however, wasn't the silliness but recognizing the great Swedish actress Lena Olin under a lot of "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark" makeup. What a waste.Read Full Review »
