Description:
Oscar® winner* Nicolas Cage is amazing (The New Yorker) in this outrageous, erotically charged thriller about a womanizing New York executive who becomes convinced that he's a vampire when one of his conquests bites his neck in the throes of passion. Jennifer Beals (Devil in a Blue Dress) sizzles as the femme fatale who sets Cage on his batty course in this darkly funny, lively, imaginative fantasy (Los Angeles Times)! *1995: Actor, Leaving Las Vegas
Amazon.com:
Nicolas Cage is perfectly cast in this devious black comedy of a New York literary agent whose latest one-night stand lands him in bed with vampire Jennifer Beals, who takes a big, bloody bite out of his identity. The emotionally unstable executive develops an aversion to sunlight, a fear of crosses, and a sudden appetite for cockroaches (not to mention a sadistic pleasure in tormenting hapless secretary Maria Conchita Alonso), but is it a supernatural curse or schizophrenia? Vampire's Kiss (written by After Hours scribe Joseph Minion) walks a dangerous line between satire and psychosis, which Cage pushes to surreal levels with a manic, unhinged performance. 'I'm a vampire!' he howls, shuffling down alleys and snapping his cheap plastic fangs, less a Dracula than a bug-eyed, psychotic Renfield. Both funny and unsettling, this is one of the most demented takes on the genre. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - I had to turn in off
I just couldn't finish this movie... that's how much I hated it. It is suppose to be a type of spoof? I hope so, but either way Nicholas Cage's performance is absolutely annoying.
Rating:  - Vampire's Kiss
Although the movie has an interesting concept, not the humor I was led to believe. Although an interesting concept, the dark humor is not near as good as I expected.
Rating:  - one of Nicholas Cage's very best performances...
I saw this film back when it was released theatrically. It was written by Joseph Minion, the writer of After Hours and Motorama and I was already a huge fan of his! After Hours and Motorama were both filled with references to Kafka, and I knew this one would be no different.
I was a bit disappointed with some of the production elements... I think the lighting and coverage are very unimaginative and stagey, and they don't seem to be that way on purpose. Just a bit amateurish really. ... Read More
Rating: - satirical psychoanalysis
This movie is terribly misunderstood by those who have little understanding of the human psyche. Cage portrays a narcissist who desperately seeks love but equally fears it and cannot achieve it without disassociating from reality and creating a fantasy.
Although the movie is hilarious, it's equally disturbing as the viewer observes Cage's character developing from narcissist into psychopath and ultimately, a murderer. Apparently, he knows he has issues and attempts to desperately seek help ... Read More
Rating: - Creative and well-directed
This was one of the first five DVDs a friend of mine bought after he got a player, and so I was curious about his choice. The things he chooses may not be perfect, but are invariably very interesting, as it turned out with this one. The only thing I knew about this movie beforehand was that it's supposed to be a 'comedy,' and that Nicholas Cage eats a cockroach in it. So it was hard for me to understand why someone would be so passionate about what seemed like a goofy 80s comedy, but it turns out that ... Read More
