VAMPIRE'S KISS
December 8, 2019  | By David Bianculli

MGM HD, 12:00 a.m. ET

 
Jennifer Beals returns to TV tonight in The L Word: Generation Q, which premieres 10 years after the original L Word ended in 2009. But a full 20 years before that, in 1989, Beals starred opposite Nicolas Cage in this wildly original, criminally underappreciated black comedy film, about a lowly book editor (Cage) who becomes convinced the girl he met at a party actually was a vampiress who bewitched him and turned him into one of the walking undead. Having a knowledge of the silent vampire film Nosferatu will make Cage’s oversize performance more understandable – and given how Beals still looks and carries herself, 30 years later, lends some credence to the eternal vampire theory as well.
