Vampire’s Kiss (1988)

For this challenge, we started with the movie Vampire’s Kiss’. I was told this movie is MAXIMUM Nick Cage & to prepare myself. I was not prepared. Nick Cage does a very odd accent in this film and basically sounds like he’s talking with something in his mouth the whole movie. Try as I might I couldn’t place the accent & I’m willing to bet that’s because it’s entirely made up. His character’s behavior and the storyline, in general, is all over the place. I spent 45 minutes just trying to follow the movie & figure out what the heck was happening with the storyline. Despite this though, I just couldn’t stop watching the movie. It was like a train wreck that I just couldn’t look away from. There are some funny parts though and some classic Nick Cage moments where the character basically has complete meltdowns. Yes, multiple. I don’t how this made it past the cutting room floor, but I hope to one day to see it dissected on Mystery Science Theatre.
