Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

amoreauthor Nicholas Cage's performance in this movie is B rated at the best, but closer to a D. The fake accent, the terrible fake laughter, this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The story line is basically non existent and the foul language makes it hard to watch because it feels forced.Not impressed at all!!

Matthew Armbright Spoiler alert! This is the greatest film ever made. This is surely Nicolas Cage at his best. Cage embodied a vampire so well that I almost felt terrified to go outside my house for two weeks because I truly felt that vampires were real. I died a little inside when the end credits began as I knew that I would never witness a film as brilliant as this one. If there is one downfall to this movie it's that once you see this movie, you will never find one as perfect as this one. That is why I recommend you see every other movie in existence before watching this one as it will truly show the culmination of a 100 years of film history. Or wait until you are on your deathbed and instead of saying goodbye to loved ones, watch this. It would be one hell of a way to go out.

hemispheres_89 WOW..... is all I can say about Vampire's Kiss. Although it pains me to admit this, up until a month ago, I had never seen this film before. But recently I've been following a checklist/document of movies that are highly acclaimed, and I've been ticking off each one as I see them and then ranking them accordingly. This film was on there. It's safe for me to say that Vampire's Kiss has quite possibly nudged its way into my top 10 favourite movies, or, at the VERY LEAST, my top 20.It is very infrequent for me to see a film and then ruminate upon it for hours afterwards. Since last month when I first saw it, I've sort of developed a sick obsession with it. To be honest, when I "first" saw it and the end credits began rolling, I wasn't entirely sure if I enjoyed what I just watched. I just felt a bizarre air and a little confused, but I had goosebumps! Then I watched it a second time the very next day.Then a third time.I am now thoroughly convinced that Nicolas Cage has earned his stripes to be ranked amongst one of the best actors of all time, with the likes of Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson. This movie is an exercise in extremely talented acting - a merciless onslaught of maniacal delusions. I don't attest that I empathize nor sympathize with our protagonist (if you can even call him that!), but I don't think that was the intention of the film.Rather, I can't help but feel like this movie was a very clever way to incorporate quirkiness and offbeat humour to stave off the negative stereotypes about a garden variety rom-com. It almost reeks a little bit of a Coen-esque scent.As such, don't expect a traditional narrative here - or even a narrative dealing in vampires in general! You'll be sorely disappointed if you do. Sit back, relax, and take it in as it proceeds. Go with the flow and you'll garner much more from this film than you otherwise would. What makes me love films like these is that it triggers something new in my film-watching technique that wasn't already there. I begin to appreciate new ways in which messages can be conveyed through film and it really opens my eyes to different types of films; it might even make me second-guess past films I hated... in a new light! The quotes, the images of what was seen - all these things continue to pop into my head from time to time. A movie that sticks with you in such a way MUST have some merit, right? This movie succeeds on those fronts.To dissect this film's point would be as futile as telling an infant to stop crying at the snap of your fingers, but if you asked me for my perspective, I would have to surmise that it focuses on how discouraged and heartbroken men can become after several negative dating episodes and how they thusly feel exploited by women in the process. Perhaps Cage is playing the part of a character with deep mental imprisonments who see situations in a jaded light - his past failures begin to mold his attitude into a monstrous hatred towards women.Or it might not have any intrinsic meaning whatsoever other than to be quirky for quirkiness' sake. Either way, I can only concede that this acting tour-de-force was absolutely extraordinary. My advice is that if you don't quite like this movie after the first viewing, put it on hold for awhile and let it sink in over the coming days. If you're destined to watch it a second time, you'll know it!

dworldeater Vampire's Kiss is a pretty original dark comedy/horror film starring Nicolas Cage in one of his best performances. Cage is an executive in NYC that throughout the course of the movie is convinced he is a vampire. Cage's character is on a rapid downward spiral to complete insanity. Whether loneliness or too much stress is a factor, it is never specified. I have no idea what types of drugs Cage was taking, but he is totally bonkers in this film. Maria Conchita Alonso is his office assistant and doormat of which his abuse towards her escalates throughout the course of the film. Once Cage is convinced he is a vampire, he embraces his destiny. He has an aversion to sunlight and sleeps under his couch upside down like it is a coffin. He even bought some three dollar fangs in the local occult store. Now that's commitment to the lifestyle! Combine George A Romero's Martin with American Psycho if you want to get an idea of the style of Vampire's Kiss. Anyway you slice it this is one freaky deaky film and it works due to Cage's wild, eccentric and absolutely unhinged and explosive performance. If you are looking for something dark, offbeat, but well done this is one you won't want to miss.
