This series is not based on the novel instead but edited by the movie team. I find it a bit un-acceptable. Don't ask me why, but i jst cant tell. I still prefer Liu Zhao Ming to act as the Granny instead of Revenge :P

I think this is quite a good movie although there's a bit changes from the novel. The tree devil should be a lady but it has become a drag queen in this movie, lolz~ and summore, the style which she sucks "Qi" with her long tongue is different also. Overall, its nice :) Love leslie cheung at that time, cute... and Joey is sexy~

This is actually the first vampire movie i ever watch, maybe 10 years ago :) I really learn alot about vampy in this film. But the relationship between Lestat & Louis, Louis & Armand is kinda gayish :)
