10 Recent Horror TV Shows That Had No Right To Be This Good
7. Interview With The Vampire
In comparison to the 1994 film with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, this AMC Gothic horror series is far more faithful to the Anne Rice than its cinematic counterpart, but still manages to stand out on its own from the beloved book and movie to create a narratively rich love story with the requisite thrills that are expected from the genre.
The series follows the romance between Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) in New Orleans in the early 1900s, as well as the former's recollection of said connection to Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), who in turns questions the legitimacy of du Lac's story.
Some of the best seasons of TV at the moment (horror or otherwise), Interview with the Vampire is impressive on multiple fronts and somehow manages to exceed its cinematic predecessor. The production values are all top-notch, with the set and costume design in particular really selling the authenticity of the turn of the century New Orleans. The lead performances are superb, with Anderson and Reid selling their characters' chemistry and respective inner turmoils, all while succeeding in adding a bit of camp to the proceedings.
With a third season set to debut in 2026, there is hope that this supernatural romance will endure much like its main duo.
