Queen of the Damned

Pop star Aaliyah reportedly completed all of her scenes before her death in a plane crash, but you wouldn’t know it from the finished film. As the title character, an ancient vampire bent on devouring everyone in sight, she has about 20 minutes of screen time. The rest of this goth-rock take on the vampire myth is burdened by the labyrinthine plot of its source material: Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles.
