Vampire's Kiss

Peter Loew (Nicolas Cage, Wild at Heart) is a self-centred literary agent living a shallow existence in the money-obsessed Manhattan of the 1980s. His life is nothing but days at the office, one-night stands and unsatisfying therapy sessions, until one night he brings home a mysterious woman (Jennifer Beals, Devil in a Blue Dress) from a club and his life begins to take a bizarre turn.

After their violent encounter, Loew starts to believe she has turned him into a vampire, and he descends into apparent lunacy as his baffled associates and co-workers look on in horror. Let loose on the streets and clubs of late 1980s NYC, Loew’s behaviour becomes increasingly unhinged, as fantasy and reality begin to bleed into one another with terrible consequences…

Directed by Robert Bierman (Keep the Apidistra Flying) from a hilarious and disquieting script from Joseph Minion (After Hours), Vampire’s Kiss is a unique yuppie-comedy-horror that predates American Psycho by many years and continues to live on in internet memes and compilations, thanks to one of the most notoriously outrageous screen performances of all time from Nicolas Cage.

"Nicolas Cage’s performance in this freakishly great cult classic transcends language and exposes the limitations of human vocabulary, entering a space sometimes rationalised with the defeatist turn of phrase: “there are no words”." - Luke Buckmaster, The Guardian
