Vampire’s Kiss (1988)
Based on the film poster and stills, I went into this expecting it to be a comedy similar to Once Bitten. I could not have been more wrong on that. Nicolas Cage is a young executive who believes he has been turned into a vampire by Jennifer Beals. Cage gives a completely committed, unhinged performance, terrorizing all those around him especially his secretary MarĂa Conchita Alonso as he descends into thorough madness. It’s a thoroughly memorable performance in a career of memorable performances.
