How on Mother Earth did Vampire's Kiss end up in the horror section? If there were a petition for an insanity genre, this movie would be the poster cover. The sheer absurdity keeps you watching. It is almost as if you are challenging the writers to get themselves out of this mess.

And who told Nicholas Cage (cast as Peter) to talk like that? Listening to him for the length of the movie is torture, at the very least.

The story: Peter is a New York literary agent in psychological counseling for stress. He becomes convinced that he has been bitten by a vampire named Rachel (Jennifer Beals). He goes through the process of changing into a vampire.

During this time, he becomes increasingly abusive to his office assistant, Alva (Maria Conchita Alonso). His abuse intensifies into stalking, invading her home, and eventually a rape-like attack. After the attack on Alva, he buys a set of plastic vampire teeth and kills a woman in a nightclub.

I did like the way the writers leave you with as many questions as answers. The ending has a nice wrap -- a bit surprising and a cool way to resolve the issues.

The acting was all dynamite. Cage's dynamic performance leaves you speechless. Beals makes a convincingly seductive, though deadly, vampire. Alonso is magnificent, as always. She was perfectly cast in this role and gave an impressive performance.

The writing was definitely creative, giving us a whole new take on the vampire topic. It transgressed through the realm of absurdity, but was well-written, if somewhat over-done. Less would likely have been better. Less would definitely have been enough.

Basically, Vampire's Kiss is the most absurd vampire movie in history, but it is absolutely hypnotic. You cannot stop watching it and must know how it ends. That is the most absurd thing about it -- it keeps you spellbound!
