VAMPIRE'S KISS - A Hilarious Nicolas Cage Cult Classic 

Nick Cage is the oldest looking 24 year old I've ever seen, he looks 40. Fortunately enough he still looks 40 now. Turns out he's actually a vampire.

This movie was both a curse and a virtue to Nic Cage's career.

I’ve heard rumors that the actress who played Alva was genuinely terrified of Nicolas Cage on set. Can’t confirm but after seeing this movie, I believe it.

This movie can be summed up like “Once a upon a time, there was a guy who went insane....then died the end”

This is like American Psycho if everyone was in even more coke

This movie is, dare I say, a National Treasure.

You just can't hate Nicolas Cage, he has this special something that makes you want to watch his movies.

Any other actor would've made the character just like any other forgettable character in a movie. Cage made the character ICONIC. THAT'S MASTERCLASS ACTING. Nicolas Cage is WITHOUT QUESTION one of the greatest method actors of ALL TIME.

I think the real mistake of this movie wasn't Cage's acting, it was someone deciding the movie where someone thinks they are turning into a vampire so they buy $1 fake vampire teeth should be written as a serious movie instead of a comedy

Apparently Nic Cage was once interviewed about his overacting and what he said was basically, "movies are fiction, they're fake, why do we put so much effort and praise towards people acting 'realistically' in a work of fiction?" Whether that's true or not, I feel like it perfectly explains everything wrong (and right) with Nic Cage's entire career.

The cat part is sweet. He seriously took his cat on location with him. And practised his moves in front of them.

Cage jumping on the desk and screaming "There you are!" looks like something straight out of JOJO

Fun fact: they just filmed a regular day in the life of Nick Cage.

Nic legitimately ate two cockroaches just for this role. Even if you don't like this classic, you gotta give Nic the respect he deserves.

Christian Bale said that he got inspiration from this film when acting on American Psycho.

I'll never understand if directors actually ask Nicolas Cage to act like that or if he's became so iconic that no-one can tell him how to act on set.

An unbelievably entertaining movie. This movie is mesmerizing and has no business being as fun to watch as it is. It’s trash. It’s potato chips and pizza. It’s everything you know is wrong but you don’t care because it doesn’t -feel- wrong. You’re not going in expecting an Oscar winning performance but you could argue the energy he puts into his performance is worthy of an award. Great breakdown.

Honestly it seems like his overacting is part of his character in the movie, I actually think its supposed to be hilarious

You have no idea how many times I've seen those Nic Cage memes and wondered what kind of crazy movie they were from. Surprise surprise, the actual movie is more insane than anything I could have thought of.

He doesn't look much different now. He looked in his 20s to 30s, even 40s, when he was in his 20s and he still looks 40.

I doubt that there's a movie that turned him into a meme considering that he was born as one

"Have you seen Vampire's Kiss? It's insane." "Oh, so it's good?" "No, I mean a crazy person wrote it."

"...finds him under his sofa. immediately, peter tries to kill himself with the piece of wood he was carrying around" lmao amazing ending

I love how he says soup outside of her window while waving the soup package

Honestly every nic cage movie is a meme

Fun fact: That dinosaur skull he bought (actually Tarbosaurus bataar, a close cousin of T. rex), had been smuggled out of Mongolia. Nic Cage returned the skull to its country of origin upon learning of its illegality, but the whole situation is often used as a case example of what goes on in the palaeontological black market. A lot of news sources reported the skull as belonging to "Tyrannosaurus bataar", probably because "Tyrannosaurus" gets more clicks than "Tarbosaurus", but that use of the name is outdated and, in my esteem, scientifically misleading.

Some of his behaviour in the club is obviously inspired by the style of the vampire in Nosferatu. 13:38 The way he stands tall with his arms down at their side. 13:41 When he turns around he even holds his arm as if he is a clawed/long-fingered being. Very cool actually.

Is it good? It's incredibly entertaining. But is it good? It is incredibly entertaining.

I seriously hope some random lady or dude out there is like "i swear that dude with a pigeon in his suit jacket looked EXACTLY like Nicholas cage with cheap ass vampire teeth in...." and never came around this film and has no closure or understanding of what they stumbled upon.

"To bully the Nicholas Cage of the present, we first must jump back and bully the Nicholas Cage of the past"

Elvis: Never experiencing love takes its toll Me, a 31 year old who's never been on one date: oh shit...

I always assumed that he didn't just go crazy from isolation: the bat that bit him early in the movie gave him rabies, which slowly caused him to lose his sanity.

I was always told this was a movie about Nic Cage turning into a vampire. I was never told it was about Nic Cage going completely insane and thinking he is a vampire. It is a meme movie, but secretly brilliant and well written.

A lot of people here say that this movie reminds them of American Psycho. That's because Christian Bale's Patrick Bateman was partially modeled after the character of Peter Loew.

Nicholas cage: buys random, expensive shit. Ah, so THAT'S why he went bankrupt...

Me: "Oooooh a horror streaming service" Shudder: "Not for your region it's not!"

Bruh, how did the incomparable & immensely talented Mr.Cage keep a straight face & not bust out laughing during the making of This film?

Nick cage is seriously his own thing in Hollywood. Theres no one like him out there. Im glad to be alive for this guy right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣

he has the level of empathy most people in his position have so he played the character very well.

That Superman 1 purchase makes him look like a genius right about now

Wait. He was in his 20's? Dude looks like he has been 40 for 40 years

I feel like this movie is a slight, poorly executed metaphor for rabies in a person. The bat? Bats are the number one cause of rabies infections in people. Hallucinations? One of the first symptoms of rabies. Manic behavior? Another symptom of rabies. Nick Cage’s character was just a guy who caught rabies by a bat.

Peta: You ate a roach!!!! Director: Those birds are drugged. LMFAO

I love that Nic Cage uses his money to act like the world's richest 14 year old.

This how I imagine if Nic Cage was casted to player Joker instead of Joaquin

Imagine how fucking cool Nic Cage felt when he went into the museum and said “Yo I’m tryna buy that Trex” lmao

There was this swedish actor named Per Oscarsson who delivered lines like a madman. He was an amazing and beloved actor but by god it is fun to hear him act. Kinda the swedish Nic cage

This is unironically my favorite nic cage movie The fact that other people have never heard of it makes me like it even more

Nick's ridiculousness is what makes a lot of movies he's in so great. I would not have enjoyed the movie "Mom and Dad" without him in it. He's absolutely bonkers as an actor and I live for it!

Vampire’s Kiss walk, so American Psycho and Joker could run.

Holy shit.. I didn't know Nick Cage acted as himself this early on his career..

Me: Reads title Also Me: *You Don't Say?*

Nic Cage is a gifted actor, cause he'll make a fool of himself and keep it together in the scene - it's only when you hear him talking about the craft of acting that you realise he's impulsive, not insane!

Wow, Nick Cage talking about his thought process during these scenes makes me take him much more seriously. Like I'm not saying they were GOOD decisions, but at least it was conscious effort.

I love that this came full circle and he became, not just a vampire, but THE vampire in 2023

Its hilarious how animal activist freaked out over a roach but not the drugged pigeons? lol

Nics apparently pretty generous too. He supports 14 different causes and donates to 6 different charities. There was a con he was at once and a lady told him she was his biggest fan and owned all his movies and missed her flight just to see him and he offered to buy her a plane ticket because of how touched he was. Genuinely love this guy.

This man will go down in all history as the greatest psychopath in the history of film

I rewatched it with my Dad yesterday and we drank a little bit of vodka before and I hadn't laugh this hard in a long time. This is the kind of movie to just have a drink and enjoy Nick Cage being Nick Cage.

Looks like the Joaquin Phoenix's Joker was based off this character lol

this is like if the wolf of wallstreet was about a werewolf

this movie from Alva's perspective is terrifying. genuinely scary stuff

Gawd I love that lunatic.... he earned every gd vial of anti-venom, albino cobra, island, castle, croc and car that he owns. 🤣❤️

Nic cage: screams at cat. Cat: what the...

Nick Cage is a gift. Hollywood needs more actors who’ll go the extra mile lmao

I actually like this movie, Cages over the top acting is why I see all his movies! I adored him in Peggy Sue got Married and Raising Arizona so when I found this movie at the dollar store I was stoked! It made me laugh and that's all I was hoping for!

nick cage's purchasing decisions make a LOT more sense when u find out he's Marilyn Manson's cousin

Apparently he’s going to play Joe Exotic in a fictional version of Tiger King. I don’t know about anyone else but I think that is fantastic casting!

Nic Cage is the literal living definition of chaos. I love that for him.

the file in question is a symbol for Cage's character's sanity. It goes missing and he cannot find it. This is not an "okay movie" btw, it is good.

I've seen this movie many times, but mow I need the DVD with the commentary. The clips you played make it sound awesome.

The thing with all the critics is that they saw this before Nic Cage was a meme. Like they’re definitely fair criticisms. Like, imagine a critic going to The Room for the first time- they aren’t going to look at it from a cult perspective, they’re going to look from a narrative and technical perspective

Okay, the only ad I'm happy to watch cause Shudder is a way underrated streaming service. I personally found this out a couple months ago

This movie feels like a weird parody satire of American Psycho

This is Nicolas Cage's favorite movie he ever made. He calls it "his laboratory".

so this is kinda like a vampire version of American Psycho lmao nice

What happened to the most recent vid

People love to hate on Nic Cage, but there is not a man who has been more honest about who he is as in actor, in my opinion. When people use him as a gauge for over-the-top acting, you know he has made his impression on the industry, right or wrong. He could have recoiled from the critiques, and probably found enough work to have an okay life living in the background, or he could lean into it, and become...well...the Nic Cage we all know and love. I, for one, am glad he chose the latter.

I thought this would be a supernatural romance movie, not a sad movie ;-; He got rabies and slowly starts going insane, it’s a tale of the decay of a mind from a fatal disease. Also vampires

I love the scene where he's just like "Soup"

It shoul be known that Christian Bale based his perfomance on this movie when he played Patrick Bateman in the American Psycho movie. It makes sense when you realize how similar the movies are.

Okay dud anyone else hear the way buddy was like "oh the birds were drugged like what you thought I was a good enough actor to catch a bird" idk why but I died laughing lol

Ngl, I wouldn’t mind being kissed by a vampire if it were Nic Cage.

When he put in the fake vampire teeth I immediately got an ad for Invisalign Lmao

With the commentary it just seemed like he was having fun with it.

I love how in the beginning of the movie Nicolas Cage is talking about the Fantastic Four

This cured my nic cage anxiety depression.

Dude I saw this movie in the 90's and it turned me into a Nic Cage fan for LIFE!!

Thx 4 the review Alvin the alien

When he moved into that haunted house, the ghosts left. When they tried to read his mind to see what scares him the most, they got one glimpse of the depths of his innermost self, and got scared sheetless. They were happy they were already dead, because that would have killed them.

He was 24 there? For real?! No way, he looks like he's at least 35. And the insect he ate was REAL?! I gotta puke.

I was really hoping this would shine a light on an underappreciated gem. There's so much genuine passion and love behind this movie. Peter is a genuinely scary villain, obviously he's an idiot and completely incompetent but it's the power he's managed to obtain and how he wields it combined with the spiral he's falling down mentally. The darker moments are all the more effective because of the goofiness we see everywhere else. His accent is faked in the context of the movie. Peter is so insecure and self conscious that he fakes a fancy accent to sound more distinguished, and you can hear when it's stronger or weaker depending on who he's talking to, who he's trying to impress. I'm not gonna act like it's a masterpiece or anything but too many people overlook the love and care that went into every inch of this production.

He really did collect dead people's heads. I met his "head dealers" in San Francisco. They ran a museum shop (now closed) that did sell authentic "obtained non-consensually" tribal member heads, and told me that while it was amusing, they found him a bit disturbing in the types of things he wanted. They had some fun stories to share, including things he requested that they had to remind him would be quite illegal in the United States, if not most other countries. LOL!! Since that time, when saying "He's not hurting anyone"... yeah, he did. Himself. To the tune of multimillions that he owed to the IRS, because instead of paying taxes, he just kept buying freaky crap. Since then, he's had to sell a lot of his stuff to avoid potential prison.

In his GQ career retrospective he called this role his science lab for all his future roles. I can see why, I don't think he's ever had more energy in any role since. Legit one of my favorite performances in a movie, any genre any era

This is genuinely a really cool movie concept, a crazy man convincing himself he's turning into a vampire

"The Movie That Turned Nic Cage Into A Meme." Did you mean? *Every Nic Cage role in a movie?*

Imagine the director goes: “wanna eat 2 cockroaches for 40k” “No” “Wanna be in my movie for 40k” “Yes”

I think the issue was people took this movie way more seriously than it was meant to be taken. I would assume it was satirical. I've never seen it, but I think I would have thought it was supposed to be funny. Now I do want to see it because it looks hilarious.

Just what I needed.

In my financial analysis class, the teacher just talked about nick cage less than a week ago as an example of how not to use your money
