Spoiler alert! This is the greatest film ever made. This is surely Nicolas Cage at his best. Cage embodied a vampire so well that I almost felt terrified to go outside my house for two weeks because I truly felt that vampires were real. I died a little inside when the end credits began as I knew that I would never witness a film as brilliant as this one. If there is one downfall to this movie it's that once you see this movie, you will never find one as perfect as this one. That is why I recommend you see every other movie in existence before watching this one as it will truly show the culmination of a 100 years of film history. Or wait until you are on your deathbed and instead of saying goodbye to loved ones, watch this. It would be one hell of a way to go out.

WOW..... is all I can say about Vampire's Kiss. Although it pains me to admit this, up until a month ago, I had never seen this film before. But recently I've been following a checklist/document of movies that are highly acclaimed, and I've been ticking off each one as I see them and then ranking them accordingly. This film was on there. It's safe for me to say that Vampire's Kiss has quite possibly nudged its way into my top 10 favourite movies, or, at the VERY LEAST, my top 20.It is very infrequent for me to see a film and then ruminate upon it for hours afterwards. Since last month when I first saw it, I've sort of developed a sick obsession with it. To be honest, when I "first" saw it and the end credits began rolling, I wasn't entirely sure if I enjoyed what I just watched. I just felt a bizarre air and a little confused, but I had goosebumps! Then I watched it a second time the very next day.Then a third time.I am now thoroughly convinced that Nicolas Cage has earned his stripes to be ranked amongst one of the best actors of all time, with the likes of Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson. This movie is an exercise in extremely talented acting - a merciless onslaught of maniacal delusions. I don't attest that I empathize nor sympathize with our protagonist (if you can even call him that!), but I don't think that was the intention of the film.Rather, I can't help but feel like this movie was a very clever way to incorporate quirkiness and offbeat humour to stave off the negative stereotypes about a garden variety rom-com. It almost reeks a little bit of a Coen-esque scent.As such, don't expect a traditional narrative here - or even a narrative dealing in vampires in general! You'll be sorely disappointed if you do. Sit back, relax, and take it in as it proceeds. Go with the flow and you'll garner much more from this film than you otherwise would. What makes me love films like these is that it triggers something new in my film-watching technique that wasn't already there. I begin to appreciate new ways in which messages can be conveyed through film and it really opens my eyes to different types of films; it might even make me second-guess past films I hated... in a new light! The quotes, the images of what was seen - all these things continue to pop into my head from time to time. A movie that sticks with you in such a way MUST have some merit, right? This movie succeeds on those fronts.To dissect this film's point would be as futile as telling an infant to stop crying at the snap of your fingers, but if you asked me for my perspective, I would have to surmise that it focuses on how discouraged and heartbroken men can become after several negative dating episodes and how they thusly feel exploited by women in the process. Perhaps Cage is playing the part of a character with deep mental imprisonments who see situations in a jaded light - his past failures begin to mold his attitude into a monstrous hatred towards women.Or it might not have any intrinsic meaning whatsoever other than to be quirky for quirkiness' sake. Either way, I can only concede that this acting tour-de-force was absolutely extraordinary. My advice is that if you don't quite like this movie after the first viewing, put it on hold for awhile and let it sink in over the coming days. If you're destined to watch it a second time, you'll know it!

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.

I thought it was an avg. run of the mil Vampire movie and the only reason I even watched was because of the memes that are been floating on the internet, but instead it turned out to be a dark comedy juxtaposed with a metaphorical satire on relationship especially one night stands, I mean that is what i inferred I am sure many would agree and disagree with me but that is the beauty of this movie you can interpret it according to your perception and the way you perceive things to me this movie was primarily about how a man loses his mind and eventually his life to drugs he started using to cope with the stress of the work and to escape the mundane life he is living, Nicolas Cage gave an epic performance,Ignore the ratings its the most misunderstood movie ever.
