About this product

Product Information

Nicolas Cage plays Peter Loew, a sleazy literary agent who prowls the bars in the evening looking for some action. One night he hooks up with Jennifer Beals, and in the course of their relations, she bites him on the neck. When he wakes up the next morning, Peter doesn't feel quite right. He is irritable, and has a hard time dealing with life at the literary agency, where his secretary takes the brunt of his ire. Suddenly, it dawns on Peter that he was bitten by a vampire, so he goes out and buys a set of real fangs. However, mere plot exposition can't begin to get at what makes this movie so amazing. Well, the film itself isn't really amazing--it's Cage's performance. Here, it seems, he was given free rein to act like a complete madman. There is absolutely no precedent for this performance anywhere in film history, and Cage is a wonder to watch. Though this film is usually mentioned only when people want to talk about how Cage ate a live cockroach once because he insisted on absolute realism, his performance here dwarfs everything else he's ever done. The movie might be rather silly, what with its pretentious device of using Peter's transformation into a vampire as a metaphor for his other life as a parasitic literary agent and lady-killer, but Cage overacts so stunningly that you can't take your eyes off the film for a second.

Nick Cage Going Full Nick Cage
I feel like there's a retirement for a classic Nicholas Cage movie: the character he's playing has to basically be written only for him. This is one of those movies. Done may say this movie is ridiculous and unengaging, I would agree with the former but not the latter. While watching this, you find yourself thinking that this is super over the top but you want to see how far it goes. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who likes a classic Nick Cage movie.

Brilliant, Utterly Unique
Not your formulaic Hollywood movie, this black-comedy/farce features Nicholas Cage at his quirky, enigmatic best as a young, neurotic advertising executive looking for love in New York City... and getting more than he bargained for.
