The Film: Vampire’s Kiss (1989)
The Vamp: Nic Cage as Peter Loew, a driven literary agent who delights in shagging around and boasting of his conquests to his therapist (Elizabeth Ashley). One night, he meets Rachel (Jennifer Beals), who bites him. Or so he thinks…
Why Are They Weird? By the end of the film – spoiler alert, even though it came out 20 years ago – you’re not quite sure if he’s become a monstrous creature of the night or just plain nuts. So we suppose he could also be considered a loonpire.
He doesn’t develop the fangs he thinks should be sprouting, so he buys plastic toy teeth for when he attacks women. And while he doesn’t like the sunlight, all it takes is a pair of shades for him to feel better. Poor baby.
Fangs for the trivia: Cage ate two real cockroaches for a scene, though he later felt sorry for them. Oh, and his accent? It’s supposed to be dodgy. Or so he’s claimed.

I have no problem admitting that Robert Pattison makes my nethers go tingly. That is why I love the movie. Course I fit into that 37 yr old woman demographic...

I don't see anything wrong with Near Dark or Twilight. The latter is not my cup of tea, a bit too sickly sweet as vampire flicks go. But Near Dark rocked, decent actors, decent director - added a different dimension to the genre at the time.

@tarakf2006.. Pedantic attention seeking idiots like you really need to get a life.
