Review of Vampire's Kiss (1989) by Phil H — 22 Jul 2011

So I actually thought this was a vampire flick in the realms of 'American Werewolf' perhaps but in fact it turns out to be a physiological dark comedy about a guy who thinks hes a vampire hehe so slightly disappointed but after watching the film I did think back in a positive way.

I did like the film to a degree, Jennifer Beals was smoking hot while Cage's performance was fun if alittle too similar to previous character performances. The way he changes his voice throughout was amusing but did recall other characters, his outbursts and rages are fun to watch too as is his descent into thinking he is a blood sucker, I loved the sofa coffin and buying the plastic teeth :).

At first I was alittle lost as to what was going on, was it real or all in his mind, I wanted it to be a real vamp flick but alas it seems to have been all in his mind, towards the end it does get tricky to decide what was real or not...hmmm.

Fun mainly to see Cage at his wackiest with some glorious over acting but it also shows how limited he is too as you feel you've see him do this before in exactly the same way.
