12 Movies Like Twilight That Every Fan Should Watch

Another movie based on a book, "Interview with the Vampire" details the undead life of vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (played by Brad Pitt) in a gothic horror story that captures the essence of Anne Rice's bestselling novel. Turned into a vampire by the vicious Lestat (Tom Cruise), Louis, like Edward Cullen, quickly comes to regret aspects of his undead existence as he fights against his nature by consuming the blood of animals. Despite their animosity, Louis stays with Lestat in New Orleans, where he encounters a young girl called Claudia (Kirsten Dunst). Unable to control his bloodlust any longer, Louis feeds on Claudia, and Lestat turns her into a vampire to keep Louis by his side.

The macabre family dynamic between Louis, Lestat, and Claudia is a darker alternative to the Cullens, who help each other refrain from drinking human blood. Lestat encourages Claudia's vampiric nature, whereas Louis cares for her in a fatherly manner and looks after her — even if it means opposing Lestat. Like the Cullens, the trio are bonded by their vampirism but with more betrayal, blood and murder, as Claudia grows to resent Lestat for turning her when she realizes she is doomed to spend eternity in the never-aging, never-changing body of a child. "Interview with the Vampire" is a darker look at what it means to live forever all alone, echoing the "Twilight" quote "when you can live forever, what do you live for?"
