DVD Synopsis

Vampire's Kiss follows the story of yuppie literary agent Peter Loew (Nicolas Cage) as he descends into madness and vampirism. Loew believes he has been bitten by a vampire (Jennifer Beals) and is slowly becoming one himself, despite the contrary opinion of his therapist (Elizabeth Ashley). He then begins to wage a campaign of escalating terror against his secretary and first potential victim, Alva (Maria Conchita Alonso, looking appropriately baffled). Alva begs her parents to let her stay home from work to avoid her unusual boss, but they force her to go on that fateful day, and the plot unfolds. Vampire's Kiss became a cult item on the basis of Cage's outrageous performance: at one point he actually eats a live cockroach. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Robert Bierman directs Nicolas Cage in one of his earliest performances in Vampire's Kiss, which comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. The closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Cage, and the original theatrical trailer. This is a strong release from MGM/UA that Cage fans should certainly see. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

An at times funny drama about a man convinced he has become a vampire. While trying to hold together his love life and work life Nick Cage plays a man who descends further and further into that belief. Reminded me of American Psycho at times.
