Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
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.

It isn't great entertainment or camp, but pic sets its ambitions so low, it can't help partially delivering on them.

The film is vampire roadkill.

Screenwriters Scott Abbott and Michael Petroni have turned Rice's complex Akasha into a cartoon monster.

rotten:
Queen of the Damned leaves us puzzled as to why the term 'damned' applies at all, when vampirism is depicted as so cool, fashion-savvy and glamorous.
