From 'My Policeman' and 'TÁR' to 'White Lotus,' October's must-see queer films and TV

Nothing quite says fall, or queer-inclusive, like a watchlist filled with stylish Oscar contenders and spooky remakes of campy and queer-coded content.

Nothing quite says fall, or queer-inclusive, like a watchlist filled with stylish Oscar contenders and spooky remakes of campy and queer-coded content. 

Now that they’ve made their way through many of the year’s film festivals, “TÁR” and “My Policeman” are finally coming to theaters, giving fans a chance to drool over their respective stars. But things are no less titillating on the small screen, with a very steamy, very gay series remake of “Interview With the Vampire” ushering in the month. There are also retoolings of ‘80s cult horror classics, with a new season of “Chucky” and a “Hellraiser” film reboot. 

Luckily, if all that entertainment-induced panting and shrieking gets to be too much, a new comedy special about lesbian culture and the highly anticipated second season of “The White Lotus” are waiting in the wings to give viewers a good laugh.

Anne Rice’s most famous novel, first adapted into the 1994 film starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, returns to the screen in an AMC series remake. And delightfully, this time, there’s no beating around the bush about what’s going on between its dashing male stars. In the new version, set in 2022, Sam Reid takes on the role of Lestat, the charming but temperamental vampire that turns Louis, played by Jacob Anderson of “Game of Thrones” fame. As the centuries-old Louis recounts his story to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), his narrative is populated with details of his and Lestat’s passionate romance and many lovers’ quarrels, which they try to resolve by adopting an undead daughter, Claudia (Bailey Bass). Although Rice initially said the queer subtext of “Interview With the Vampire” was unintentional when the novel published in 1976, she quickly embraced the reading, which solidified her status as a gay icon later in life. She even signed on to be a producer of the new, much gayer adaptation, a role which her son, Christopher Rice, stepped into after her death in 2021.

“Interview With the Vampire” season one premieres on AMC and AMC+ on Oct. 2.
