Vampire's Kiss (1988)

Did not expect to take psychological damage from the Nic Cage Vampire movie. Pretty speechless. Loved the Eric Serra sounding soundtrack. Madness.

Slightly more coherent thoughts: Gotta love cinema where you're reminded that (very generally) a man's worst first date is being laughed at whereas a woman's worst first date is being murdered. For that twist, truly truly terrifying.

This is a portrait of a man’s descent into madness.

Grave Reacts: Vampire's Kiss (1988) - 05/09/2023

In this video, my roommate will be reacting to her first time watch of Vampire's Kiss from 1988. This is a great Nicolas Cage film where he goes full uncaged!

Vampire's Kiss | 1988

Out of every movie character, I unfortunately relate most to Alva Restrepo from Vampire's Kiss (1988).

Alva is a timid, shy, hardworking, femcel, brown secretary who is literally invisible at her job and is treated like shit by everyone because she’s the lowest on the corporate ladder. She’s broke and takes the metro to work, still lives with her parents at the age of 30, is sexually repressed and probably a virgin, is constantly swamped with work by her deranged boss, wears homely clothing, is religious and always wears a gold crucifix, will never be promoted, has no romantic/social life, and just does laundry on her day off LOL.

I love the scene where Nic Cage’s character assigns her the worst task in the office and tells her:

“Alva, there is no one else in this entire office that I could possibly ask to share such a horrible job. You're the lowest on the totem pole here… Every other secretary here has been here longer than you… And even if there was someone here who was here even one day longer than you, I still wouldn't ask that person to partake in such a miserable job as long as you were around…

It's a horrible, horrible job; sifting through old contract after old contract. I couldn't think of a more horrible job if I wanted to. And you have to do it! You have to or I'll fire you. You understand? Do you? Good.”

Literally my entire career and life in a nutshell….
