Critics Consensus: A muddled and campy MTV-styled vampire movie with lots of eye candy and bad accents.

Reviews

Black Girl Nerds

Cassondra Feltus

'Queen of the Damned' is considered a bad adaptation, over-the-top silly, and just a poorly structured film in general. All are true. However, many, myself included, see it more as a disasterpiece, a guilty pleasure, a piece of 2000s nu metal nostalgia.

The result is a film that's as camp as Butlins but nowhere near as much fun and full of awful performances and silly dialogue

It's mainly an excuse for director Michael Rymer to unleash his arsenal of flashy, MTV-type visuals and Moulin Rouge costume designer Angus Strathie to play dress-up.

It's difficult to make a truly boring vampire picture, but the folks behind this draggy adaptation of Anne Rice's bestsellers The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned have done just that.

Michael Rymer stages high-tech sequences combining gore, romance, and gothy music, and he has enough conviction to make what could have been very silly strangely provocative.
