Writer, director and actor Lars Henriks returns to help us through another odd 80s film featuring fangs and eccentric performances: Vampire's Kiss (1988). That's right! Long before Nicolas Cage portrayed the most famous vampire of them all in this year's horror comedy Renfield, he played Peter Loew – a yuppie literary agent who becomes convinced he's a bloodsucking creature of the night after a terrifying one-night stand with the alluring Rachel (Jennifer Beals). But is it real, or is he an American psycho who's a dick to his secretary (Mario Conchito Alonso)? And will every single scene of Cage's unhinged performance become an internet meme?! Find out as we delve into the film behind so many memorable gifs to find out if there's black comedy gold to be mined or if it's a $3.99 set of plastic novelty teeth.
Follow Lars on Instagram and find out about anti kyno, the new independent local film and children's theater for adults he's opening in Hamburg!
