Witness Nicolas Cage go full-batty with Vampire’s Kiss (1988), a full 35 years before tackling the role of Count Dracula in Renfield (2023). And don’t forget supporting roles from Jennifer Beals, Maria Conchita Alonso, and Elizabeth Ashley. The film was a critical and commercial flop when it first arrived in theaters but found a cult following after landing on home video in 1990. Now it’s time for the Grue-Crew – and you, as well – to determine if the film holds its entertainment value in the 21st century. Sit back and enjoy some cockroach snacks and prepare to scream, “I’m a vampire!”
At the time of this writing, Vampire’s Kiss is available to stream from Kanopy, Tubi, Redbox, and PlutoTV. It is also available as a Blu-ray disc from MVD Rewind Collection.
Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Chad, will be Zombie Nightmare (1987). Wait! What?
