To start this critique off on a good note, let me just say that in the years since the making of Vampire's Kiss, Nicolas Cage has certainly improved upon his acting skills. Although this film has been classified as a comedy/horror movie, it is neither. To think that mental illness and hallucinations in the form that is portrayed in the film is comedic, is absurd. The script was not only violent, but extremely tasteless and the acting...well, to put it bluntly...there was none! It appeared as if Cage and Beals were doing exercises from acting class, and not very good ones at that. Sitting through this film was almost as uncomfortable as sitting in a 120 degree sauna for two hours without the aid of wet towels...it sucks! This film needs more than a wooden stake to kill it, it needs to be burned as well.
