When it was announced that Tom Cruise would play the vampire Lestat in this adaptation of Anne Rice's bestselling novel, even Rice chimed in with a highly publicized objection. The author wisely and justifiably recanted her negative opinion when she saw Cruise's excellent performance, which perceptively addresses the pain and chronic melancholy that plagues anyone cursed with immortal bloodlust. Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst are equally good at maintaining the dark and brooding tone of Rice's novel. And in this rare mainstream project for a major studio, director Neil Jordan compensates for a lumbering plot by honoring the literate, Romantic qualities of Rice's screenplay. Considered a disappointment while being embraced by Rice's loyal followers, the movie is too slow to be a satisfying thriller, but it is definitely one of the most lavish, intelligent horror films ever made. --Jeff Shannon

You blu ray owners that are whining about grain in movies on blu ray should educate yourselves on how the movie was shot to begin with. It's not like Interview is a small title that they can just throw on an HD disc either. It isn't because Warner is out to "get you". This movie was shot this way. And blow the other DVD transfers to pieces.
They want good reviews so people will buy more of their products. What you are seeing is what was shot. A lot of things play a factor, between the biggest which is type of film stock, camera, lenses, lighting. Time isn't always the culprit for lower quality films. This is why say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest looks so rich and clean and this one doesn't.
All in all this film looks great. Trust me, they want to make consumers happy. It's a shame the average consumer has this mentality, and if you are a high end movie collector, you should really start taking these things into consideration before posting a review.

there's only so much they can do to restore the films. we dont normally rate products on here but when we saw all the comments saying the blu ray sucked we just had to speak our minds cuz we think these people are expecting way too much out of a film that is over a decade old.
ours is a sony bravia 1080p resolution and we are very impressed. considering you can get the blu ray for only 20 bucks, it's well worth it.
considering this movie is 14 years old, we think it looks very very good. we also have the original dvd and there is definitely a real smooth look to the blu ray and not so choppy as many regular dvds are on hi def tvs.
plus the movie is amazing. we have other older films on blu ray (the shining, clockwork orange, and a few others) and this one looks more fresh and clean than they do.
many regular dvds are that much.

There is NOTHING about this movie that is "hi def" The package states 1080p hi def AND 480p/i standard version. It's NOT high definition. I love this movie, but my rating is about "blu-ray" version. There is no way in the menus to play different "versions" and I'm CERTAIN I'm watching a regular 480p standard version of this movie. No new audio formats either. There is NO reason to buy this movie on blu ray.

I have an older DTS receiver, so the DVD audio is actually better for me on the DVD, which is all the more insulting. Worst Blu-ray remastering EVER. I bought the original DVD and then the special edition.
The Blu ray looks like they tried to make it blurry and have no color. the blu-ray with the DVD on a low end multidisc Sony and the Samsung BDP-1200 which was considered about the best Blu-ray, I can't believe how little difference there is. The extras are lame and in SD.
Comparing the DVD vs. Save your money. Until now, the 2 years ago Sleepy Hollow Blu ray was my worst purchase, this far exceeds it.
this should be $4.99.
