Vampire's Kiss
(Rated M)


Session Times
Overview
The life of white-collar New Yorker Peter (Nicolas Cage) seems to revolve solely around making as much money and sleeping with as many women as possible. After a typical night of scouring trendy bars for some action, Peter manages to take home the alluring Rachel (Jennifer Beals), who bites him on the neck while they’re in bed. The next day, Peter is certain he is now a vampire. Though no one shares his point of view and he hasn’t changed physically, he dons fake fangs and begins stalking women.
Why You Should See This Film
Nicolas Cage is not an actor renowned for his subtlety or naturalism, but ooh boy, he really goes for it here. Delivering a hyper-surreal performance that’s part Nosferatu, part Bill Murray in Scrooged, he’s like a creature from another planet, and we’re very much here for it. Also, this film scores major props for the cameo by funk legends ESG in one of the opening scenes.
