What this movie is most famous for is Nick Cage eating a live cockroach (actually, he ate two, but only one appears in the film), when what it should be known for is the fact that it was so far ahead of its time. It's a black comedy that appeared before the big run on dark comedies (had it appeared a mere five years later, it wouldn't have been cutting edge). Peter Loew (Cage) is such a bad person, that we can't help but laugh at what he says and the things he does, as horrible as they may be. On the surface the film appears to be about madness, but really, loneliness is at its core. We can identify with what Loew feels, if not what he does. The dvd contains a commentary track with Cage and director Robert Bierman, who hadn't gotten together to talk about the film in 11 years. And as great as the movie is, the commentary is just as wonderful. You get insight into the making of the film (and an understanding of the horrible accent Cage uses in the film), and hearing them laugh along with you at the horridness of Loew just adds to the experience. It's a great film, and though sparse, a great dvd. only Cage would eat a cockroach this is a great 80's vampire flick, like you've never seen before thanks to Cage's brilliant and always crazy on screen performance as the man who was bit by Beals and then goes on a crazy time eatting roaches and tormenting Alonso. surely for fans of vampires or Cage. Cage knows how to get into his role and he does it with perfection Buy Vampire's Kiss at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
