By doing so and flaunting the fact that he's a vampire, he draws the attention of Jesse Reeves (MARGUERITE MOREAU), a researcher at a British institute for paranormal studies whose fascination with vampires stems from having been raised for a while by one, her centuries old aunt Maharet (LENA OLIN). Yet, Lestat's breaking of the vampire code of conduct also brings out his former master, Marius (VINCENT PEREZ), as well as the Queen of all vampires, Akasha (AALIYAH), who's drawn to Lestat's music and ego.
As Jesse tries to get to know and understand Lestat's world, the vampire continues to flaunt his disregard toward other vampires, a point that gets him in trouble with them and only further strengthens Akasha's resolve to rule the world and kill all mortals.
Some of those scenes could be unsettling, suspenseful or scary to some viewers, but that depends on their age and tolerance for such material. Some non-explicit, sexually related dialogue is present, while several characters act sensuously toward others and some young women appear ready to have sex with Lestat (although that's not what he's interested in). In addition, various female characters are occasionally seen in revealing attire.
Profanity consists of a handful of minor expletives and colorful phrases, while some characters drink and one briefly holds what appears to be a joint.
