Clever horror comedy that's entertaining and worth a viewing

Vampire's Kiss (1988) is a movie that I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows a young business executive who encounters a gorgeous woman that turns him into a vampire. He tries to balance his normal life and new vampire lifestyle, but he discovers he's mean and ruthless as a vampire and starts alienating his family and friends. Can he balance his two lives or will one destroy the other?

This movie is directed by Robert Bierman (Apology) and stars Nicolas Cage (Face/Off), Jennifer Beals (Flashdance), Maria Conchita Alonso (The Running Man), David Hyde Pierce(Frasier) and Elizabeth Ashley (Happiness).

This is a picture with a clever and unique storyline and well written dialogue, characters and circumstances. The acting by Cage is excellent for a horror comedy and Maria Conchita Alonso does a great job of making you feel sorry for her the entire film. Beals is a great villainous character and Cage does a great job of making you root for him to get it right despite being a jerk the entire movie. There's fun twists and turns, splashes of cheesy comedy and an ending that is a bit of a surprise.

Overall, this is a clever horror comedy that's entertaining and worth a viewing. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing it once.
