Leave your thoughts about Queen of the Damned.
| Filmcritic.comJoshua Tyler... manages to deliver a fair bit of vampire fun. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt all looks very weak, and my heart went out to the excellent Paul McGann, who has to play a occult researcher looking permanently appalled at what is happening. As well he might. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyOverall this horror picture, based on Rice's novel, is no good, but lead stuart Townsend gives a far more compelling (and properly campy) performance than Tom Cruise did as Lestat in the high-profile companion piece, Interview With the Vampire. |
| Dallas Morning NewsAl Brumley... a gloppy miasma of goo, blood and annoying sound effects. |
| Jam! MoviesAnika Van WykIt's not just the vampires that are damned in Queen of the Damned -- the viewers will feel they suffer the same fate. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumMaybe 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 production |
| Portland OregonianKim MorganNothing near a modern vampire classic. Still, "Queen" is a great dose of vamp camp |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanStands as a rare, satisfying diversion into the world of vampires. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionLarry AydletteAvoid this heavy metal hell at all costs. |
| New York PostLou LumenickAaliyah rules as the undead Queen of the Damned, even if she has scarcely half an hour of screen time in this campy Anne Rice vampire tale. |
