Vampire's Kiss

Nic Cage. The end.

If you need more convincing than that, Nicolas Cage is both a former Oscar winner and B-movie behemoth, currently enjoying something of a career renaissance. What better way to celebrate his comeback than a screening of 1988’s Vampire’s Kiss, in which his classic New York yuppie goes full-on Cage when he thinks he’s turning into a bloodsucker.

Cage is a walking, talking GIF throughout. He famously ate a live cockroach during filming (long before I’m a Celebrity made it aspirational) and does a more animated rendition of the ABC Song than a stroppy, sugared-up six-year-old.

As the more bitey, blood-sucky bit of our Vampire vs Zombies weekend (see Shaun of the Dead for the brain-eating bit), this is not just Vampire’s Kiss, but chef’s kiss.
