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!!

Jerghal You've probably seen some movies where there are scenes where actors chew up the scenery, where their acting is so bad it goes all the way around to become exquisite acting. But I'm sure you've never seen a WHOLE movie like this! Enter Vampire's Kiss. Nicolas Cage plays a literary agent who slowly goes insane and begins to think he's been bitten by a vampire an is becoming one himself. Now I'm pretty sure it's not all Nic Cage going nuts, I really think it was meant to be acted like this. Nic Cage takes some inspiration from "Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens" and adds his own comic sauce to it. But it's a very strange but incredibly funny experience to watch these scenes. We all know Nic Cage can do crazy but here he doesn't go off the rails, he's on another planet completely. He also has this utterly funny snooty accent that just cracked me up. And despite the silliness of this black comedy there are some scenes where really bad things happen. The film does not seem to mock or neither comment on this insane character but just let's you observe, laugh your ass off and think whatever you want. This movie has grown into a cult film and rightfully so. At first glance you might write it off as a bad movie but it's actually a very funny dark comedy and I would recommend everyone to at least have seen this once in your life! You'll not regret the experience

mrturk182 Nicolas Cage is pretty much the master of insane acting. Yet, with Vampire's Kiss, this is the movie that makes you want to ask him, "What is your major malfunction?" His character supposedly gets bitten by a vampire, and he begins to believe he's becoming one. We almost buy into it until he's taking a shower in one scene, he invites a vampire in, and we see no one else other than Cage. It becomes evident that Nicolas Cage is a complete moron. He basically spends the entire movie acting silly, screaming like a maniac, and abusing his secretary. The writing doesn't make matters better. There's no explanation what he's suffering from, why he thinks he was bitten by a vampire, or if he was even bitten by anything at all. This movie is nothing but nonsense. Score: 53/100Recommendation: As stupid as it is, this movie does get a recommendation, considering it justifies Cage's reputation of acting like a lunatic.

montferrato Vampire Kiss is actually a pretty good movie. I have read many reviews saying that the movie is a "Dark Comedy", uses black humor, and that it is very funny. I actually did not consider this movie funny, and it would be a great mistake to classify it as a Comedy, or even a black comedy. Vampire Kiss is a drama, a deep drama about a young Jewish executive who goes to live to New York and is defeated by the Big City. The guy can not cope, and he loses it. The originality of the movie is to present this drama to the audience through the mental delusions of a pathetic and sick man who believes he is a vampire. It is actually pretty much the same story as American Psycho: New York and the dramas of the big city seen through the eyes of a sick person. In both cases, the narrator is an exec. In American Psycho is a Financial Exec, and in Vampire Kiss is a publishing exec. Both are successful, can not cope with reality, and tend to invent worlds, not distinguish between the real world and fiction, and hurt people. So, they are just a reflection of the fears, anxieties, loneliness, alienation, hysteria, delusion and psychosis of the people and society. The theme of loneliness and alienation is emphasized very much in the Vampire Kiss. So, congratulations to the movie guys, because they made a pretty original movie, with a good theme, and a good, oppressive atmosphere. The bad points of the movie, and the reason why i only give it a six, is because in my humble opinion, they were not valiant enough to use a less clownish actor, thinking that this movie would be more watchable through some comic relief. I do not like the over the top(as usual) interpretation of Nicholas Cage, a very overrated interpreter. Also, i must say again that the use of absurdity and grotesque(the cockroach eating, the plastic vamp teeth, for example), do not make this a comedy. They make the movie even more frightening, and they make the character played by Cage even more pathetic and disturbing. So, a great movie, but it could have been much better. This is all the way American Psycho with Vampire Teeth. They did not even change the city¡¡¡¡
