Overview: Living in the big city is enough to drive anyone bats, and the pressure of it proves too much for Peter Loew (Nicolas Cage, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Con Air), at the peak of his career, yet in the depths of despair, his life is in turmoil until he meets Rachel (Jennifer Beals, Flashdance), the woman of his dreams.

During their first night together, Rachel takes more than his heart – she takes his blood too – and from that moment on, Peter Loew believes he is a vampire. What is it about Rachel that makes him feel this way? Is she really a blood-lusting creature of the night? Or just a product of his fevered imagination?

Because if it turns out he is really a vampire – then there’s more than just his life at stake!

Blu-ray Verdict: In the giant-stoic skyscrapers of NY city lives Peter (Nicholas Cage), a successful yuppie, but behind his expensive clothes and expansive apartment he hides a loveless life.

He is a regular at clubs and the dating game and on one of his outings he meets Rachel (Jennifer Beals). While making love, she bites him on the neck. The next morning Peter starts feeling ill. Believing himself to be turning into a vampire, he starts to wear sunglasses, sleeps under his couch, and buys plastic teeth. But is he or isn’t he a vampire?

A vampire movie with a difference, this quirky and funny film - that if you dare take too seriously you will simply not get and even worse, turn off halfway through - is a pure black comedy joy to behold from start to finish.

Nicolas Cage gives yet another explosive, nay myth-making job similar to his Raising Arizona role, though here it is a beefier outing screen time wise.

In truth, here in Vampire’s Kiss his character is a complete loon and thus I would have loved for someone like David Lynch to have been the director; and yet, Robert Bierman still manages to pull it off, of course.

That all said, and in my humble opinion, the film totally belongs to Joseph Minion’s ferocious screenplay for as much as this is, at its core, a Vampire film that lacks bite, together with its very unique story line, it has ensured itself a place in cinematic history nonetheless.

In closing, this acting tour-de-force was absolutely extraordinary and so my advice is that if you do not quite like, or get, or understand this movie after the first viewing, put it on hold for awhile and let it sink in over the coming days. For if you are destined to watch it a second time, you will know ... and then it will all sink into place, you have my word!
