Queen of the Damned is a 2002 movie based on the third installment of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, and is a sequel of sorts to the acclaimed 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. Unlike its predecessor though, QOTD played very fast and loose with the events of the original novel, was panned by critics, and was greeted with scorn by many Vampire Chronicles fans. It did, however, enjoy considerable commercial success and has acquired something of a cult following over the years – probably on account of its sexy cast, killer soundtrack, and general fun, campy vampire action.
