One of my all time favorites.

i must have seen a different film!!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Wow! The opening credits stink of a bad after school special.Interracial. How progressive.Foreign Distribution? How strange.. a hot dog cart.Mortal combat with a bat? This movie is horrible.Uninterested old lady in the bathroom is now very concerned.Now I know my ABCs, next time won't you kill me.Eccentric? He's a nut.How dramatic! A light! This is not a dark comedy, but a dark tragedy.Vampires eat cockroaches? Now we have to suffer through an "action" scene of walking quickly down several flights of stairs, including "interesting" shots of hands touching the bannister.I wish they weren't planks either, then I would get the remaining 25 minutes back to spend in a more fruitful manner, like mismatching my socks.Another concerned older lady.OMG the plastic teeth have taken this movie to a new low.No bouncer? No matter what it is there is always someone into it.Dramatic emotions quickly followed by crappy 80s dance.That was a very quick nighttime.Blissfully it is over.

Comedy is not Horror, no matter what anyone says. Totally, two different genres. This is nothing to be considered a horror movie. So it should never be listed in genre for this movie at all. It is about a nut that goes nuts, thinking he is a Vampire after being bit by one, and assumes he is turning into one.Pretty stupid if you ask me and not even funny. How people are saying it is misunderstood is stupid too. Horror is not meant to be funny at all. That is why it is called Horror. Stupid to say stupid things, and expect others to agree with you. My mother does this all the time. Why the heck rate a movie high just for comedy alone?Annoying when he calls Alva name over and over again, and chases her to the ladies room. Stupid as heck. I love Nicholas Cage but this is by far his worst movie. Should be an option for negative votes or rating. If you don't rate, then it is not for or against the movie on this site at all.That is so stupid that people do not rate when reviewing movies on this site because of that exact reason. That is why a lot of movies are rated bass ackwards. So glad they got rid of the bulletin Boards. Too many people complaining about bad movies being to low and that they are not that bad, like this movie.They would be saying stuff that makes no way for it to be rated higher. There is at least one bad movie for an actor, and this is Nicholas Cage one. Only thing on television right now. So kind of forced to watch it. Too bad television broadcast sucks with bad movies and too much reality television.

Peter Loew (Nicolas Cage) is a Manhattan literary agent and Alva Restrepo (Maria Conchita Alonso) is his suffering assistant. He party all night and goes to therapist Dr. Glaser. A bat gets in his apartment during a night with a girl which he finds arousing. Another night, he brings Rachel (Jennifer Beals) home from a club. She shows her fangs and feeds on him. He continues to let her feed night after night. He becomes erratic and thinks he's turning into a vampire himself.Cage is going over the top with his performance. The problem is that Peter treats Alva so poorly even before being bite. It's hard to care about him at all. It's fascinating to see Cage overact sometimes but I don't see him hounding Alva as being funny. Maybe if he isn't so mean to Alva early on.

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.
