Movie Synopsis:
Vampire's Kiss is a darkly comedic psychological thriller, both hilariously funny and tragically sad. Peter Loew is a literary agent enjoying his yuppy lifestyle in 80's New York, except for his unfulfilled yearning to find true love. His whole life begins to change one night when a bat flies into his apartment during making love with his girlfriend. Soon after, Peter has an encounter with Rachel, who he becomes convinced is a vampire, and after spending a neck biting night with her, becomes convinced he is turning into one. 
Behaving increasingly strangely at work, Peter becomes obsessed with a client's lost file and victimizes (ultimately with tragic consequences) a company secretary, until she finds it. But by then it is 'too late', as his strangeness steps over the line from tense but nevertheless comedic neurosis, to tragic psychosis. 
The story is interwoven with visits to his therapist, and as Peter's behaviour becomes more erratic and disturbed, it becomes harder to tell what is real and what is a hallucination for Peter. 

Trailer:



Nicolas Cage movie quote:
"Vampire's Kiss was sort of my experimental laboratory 
where I tried things out, facial expressions and attitudes." 
"When I was eight years old, I used to watch those silent German expressionist films like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - well, you can imagine the effect they had on me. They were much more horrifying than anything today - claustrophobic and really spooky. I would have nightmares about them. With Vampire´s Kiss, I saw an opportunity to say, Well, this man is insane, and so I have a right to do what I want; I can use some of those old German facial expressions and hand gestures and combine it with sound. That´s why I was so excited about it."


Interesting Facts:
Nicolas Cage famously ate a live cockroach for this role. Twice.

Awards:
Nominated: 1990 Independent Spirit Award for Best Lead Male

First off, did people enjoy it? Vampire's Kiss is one of my personal favourite Cage films, but I imagine its moral ambivalence won't be for everyone! Also, it's tone changes a lot - humerous, tragic, scary - but that gives Cage a lot to work with. He's particularly exciting to watch here.

He's like a yuppie that's trying a bit too hard... I think Cage gives us deliberately really mixed signals. He softens his voice, but also makes it sound slightly affected, like he's putting on airs. His movements are somehow tight and composed, yet also kind of fluid and limp wristed - he wrong foots us.

It is probably my favourite of all Nic films Sprocket, i think it carries two tones simultaneously, a tricky balance and they get more extreme as the film progresses!

At the beginning of the film peter Loew is smart, suave, intellligent..employable, lol, but with this  particular accent...

When you watch that movie for the first time, and you see Peter at his shrink, you couldn`t imagine, how it turns out in the end.

But at the same time Nic looks really cute before he degenerates into wretchedness! You feel like he could be a nice guy if he got his life in order, which is one of the tragedies perhaps.

@Lula I like the description of it holding two tones in balance and them getting more extreme. The movie is definitely a balancing act.

@ Lady A and @Sprocket yes,  at the beginning ther is only  hint of what is to come, it becomes quite clear he is lonely adn actually it is a quest for love...
