Wow..All I have to say is wow, pure Cage gold. I never ever ever take Nick Cage seriously so that might be why I enjoyed this movie so much, but he really needs to only be in movies like this once every 4-5 years as to not let us get used to it. Seriously Cage has been doing it all wrong all these years and needs to learn from his 1988 self. I am convinced that nobody could have performed in this role better.
I love the campy 80's vibe and music and clothing, but that's only the beginning of the entertainment. Cage essentially plays the same general character as Christian Bale in American Psycho (which was inspired by this movie FYI, look at the Trivia section) - a fairly well-off businessman who is slowly losing his mind. That is literally the whole plot. Again why this movie is solid gold.
This is not a vampire movie. It took me almost the entirety of the movie to realize that fact, and some people who gave it poor ratings probably didn't come to that realization. Cage is dissatisfied with his lifestyle of going out and sleeping with different women every night, so he just cracks. That is what Cage does best. This movie has some of my favorite Cage-isms that I didn't know were in this movie.
1. Nicholas Cage creepy face meme 2. "Well, I was really horny at the time." 3. "Am I getting through to you, Alva?" 4. "A! B! C! D! E! F! G!...etc" 5. The famous "I'm a Vampire! I'm a Vampire!"
I could literally write about this movie all day, it excites me way too much. It is just so ridiculous but maintains its composure and brilliance in doing so. Get through the opening 30 minutes or so and prepare for a Cage experience that you'd never expect.
Also what the f kind of accent does he have?
