Based on the Anne Rice bestseller – Born as an 18th-century lord, Louis is now a bicentennial vampire,  telling his story to an eager biographer.  Suicidal after the death of  his family, he meets Lestat, a vampire who persuades him to choose  immortality over death and become his companion.  Eventually, gentle Louis resolves to leave his violent maker, but Lestat guilts him into staying by turning a young girl — whose addition to the “family” breeds  even more conflict.
