Physical Media: 4K UHD Review by Allison Rose | Sep 22, 2026 Interview with the Vampire Returns in Its Ultimate 4K Edition Review

Interview with the Vampire has never looked better on the small screen, with this new 4K release offering upgraded video, audio, and extras that make it the ultimate version for fans.

Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, and Antonio Banderas return in Interview with the Vampire , now presented in an impressive 4K edition with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and new extras. It seems as if the world has always been fascinated by vampires, and author Anne Rice had a very successful set of novels that revolved around the mythical creatures of the night that fed on blood.

While this is a typical zombie movie, I like that the plot incorporated a few new concepts into the story.

The Founder

Apr 25, 2017

The Founder may evoke sympathy for the McDonald brothers and their descendants and may turn fans of McDonald’s off the franchise, as it left me angry and sad and tired of greedy people and the corporations they run.

The Bye Bye Man

Apr 10, 2017

(The Bye Bye Man) had some potential but maybe for budget reasons the characters and plot never fully get fleshed out which is a shame. It had the makings of an original psychological/sci-fi thriller but just can’t seem to deliver.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

Mar 27, 2017

While all eight films are out on Blu-ray, the last four come to 4K Blu-ray this week and promise to be worth the asking price. The content hasn’t changed but the quality is just a little higher standard.
