High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vampire's Kiss is an American dark comedy/psychological horror film released in 1989. It was written by Joseph Minion, who also penned Martin Scorsese's darkly humorous After Hours, and stars actors Nicolas Cage, Maria Conchita Alonso, Jennifer Beals and Elizabeth Ashley. Vampire's Kiss is the story of Peter Loew (Nicolas Cage), a driven yuppie literary agent, who is slowly but inexorably going insane. Loew plays the consummate businessman by day, and club hops by night, with little in his life of any importance but one night stands and the pursuit of money and prestige.
