Product ReviewsVampires Kiss (VHS, 1996)

Love Sucks

A friend suggested that I check out a funny vampire movie from the eighties, and I had to buy it when he told me Nicholas Cage was in it. I remember (Cage) in films such as, "When Peggy Sue got married", and "Trapped in Paradise". I loved the overly dramatic (Cage) in both films. (Cage) fleshes out the characters and makes them memmorable. For instance, in the film, "Vampire's Kiss", (Cage)is suffering a breakdown from the pressures at work, and equally unhappy love life. He finally meets a woman (Jennifer Beals) but she has an insatiable appetite. He is bitten three times on the neck by his "late night mistress" and suddenly he needs sunglasses, resists sunlight, starts eating roaches, buys a pair of fake vampire teeth. But is he, or isn't he a vampire? The Stakes are high for "Peter Lowe", will he live as a man or die as a vampire? Don't miss the laughter and shocks in this dark comedy classic. The soundtrack is entrancing and I really enjoyed the music portrayed in the film.Read full review...
