Critics Consensus

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

Queen of the Damned | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader 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. Oct 20, 2009 Full Review Queen of the Damned | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Scott Foundas Variety It isn't great entertainment or camp, but pic sets its ambitions so low, it can't help partially delivering on them. Sep 15, 2008 Full Review Queen of the Damned | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Peter Travers Rolling Stone The film is vampire roadkill. Rated: 1/4 Aug 14, 2007 Full Review Queen of the Damned | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Cassondra Feltus Black Girl Nerds '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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Queen of the Damned | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Pat Stacey The Herald (Ireland) 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 Oct 17, 2017 Full Review Queen of the Damned | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Steve Newton Georgia Straight 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. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 8, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Rich H Great movie, the perfect length and action packed Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Suri B Aww its just So deep passionate ... Magical Aura.. coolness. (&damnSexyOfCourse)This movie and the energy of it is so INTENSE.<3And I could feel their longing and lestat's urge to "kill" that precious innoncent girl.Its rlly my favourite movie. (Besides the shortfilm necrophile passion 😂♥️)I really cant understand the bad 'recensions here o.OGuess they maybe expected a TYPICAL movie or so .. Or maybe they arent that passionate themself and thats why they dont understand and FEEL that magical sht..:/?And this movie only works so fantasticly BECAUSE of the FEELable PASSION.Thats what that movie thrives (on)If someone cant feel it, then yea, maybe then the movie might be boring(Just speculating/tryin to understand how people could not love this masterpiece xD)Btw, this has NOTHING to do with films like twilight. I find twilight boring and weak. How does someone in the comments think..Oh wow, right, both movies are about vampires 😂Thats all. They are made completely different . And this here is a million times better. +much more coolness.Time runs fast watching this movie.. I wished it was longer. XD I adore the way its made so much. The music (for example korn) FITs just PERFECTLY.Souw, noch kurz was auf deutsch: Coole Szenen, perfekte musikalische Untermalung.Leidenschaftlich.Intensiv.. Ein Film über starkes Verlangen das man fühlen kann. Der Zwiespalt zwischen ihrem Leben/Unbekümmertheit/Gesundheit=Vernunft und kaum kontrollierbarer Sehnsucht, ihrem Wunsch sich hinzugeben, wie sie sich (ihre Adern) anbietet, obwohl es ihre Unschuld und alles kostet.. wunderschön gemacht.Zudem lauter heiße Darsteller und Mädelz ^^Für bdsm-mädchen sicher attraktiv, aber garkein Vergleich zu twilight oder so 'n sche*zz xD Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Jacob B A "so bad, it's good" "follow-up" to Interview with the Vampire, Queen of the Damned has bad acting, laughable accents, forgettable characters, lame special effects and a ridiculous premise that I'm surprised that it seemingly wants to be taken at face value, rather than ironically. On the plus side, the soundtracks fine, albeit a product of its time and there is something bittersweet in seeing Aaliyah, who doesn't show up in the flesh until an hour into the film, for the last time in the wake of her tragic death a few months before the film came out. Not that it's some amazing posthumous dedication unlike The Crow or Furious 7. In conclusion, if you get enough friends with the right mindset, you'll have a hell of a time laughing AT, rather than WITH, a movie that can be best described as a poor man's Buffy for the MTV crowd. The then-reasonably popular Blade movies, Queen of the Damned is not. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Regina P There is not one redeeming quality attached to this movie. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review Rosie E Pure nostalgia!Awesome soundtrack and grungy atmosphere, really 2000ish vibe with oozing with sexiness characters to make your evening a pleasantly spent one.Nice story and executionHonestly couldn't be happier that cruise skipped playing in this as he would surely ruin it for me. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Steve D Visually unconvincing and the weird rock-band stuff was dumb. The story is solid overall and I love to see Marguerite Moreau get a chance to shine. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
