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.

The 33

Feb 16, 2016

For 69 days, the world watched as drills frantically tried to free 33 miners trapped in the refuge 200 stories below the surface. Running out of food and water, it seemed hopeless.

Steve Jobs

Feb 15, 2016

The cast is phenomenal and I am not surprised by the Oscar nominations for Fassbender and Kate Winslet (Titanic), who plays Joanna Hoffman, Jobs’ Polish born right hand person.

Spectre

Feb 10, 2016

Of the six men who have portrayed the famous spy, some would argue that Craig is the best Bond yet. He certainly is different than we have seen in the past.
