62% - Rotten Tomatoes

YAY!
  • Nicolas Cage's performance is simply mesmerising. Every other wacky Nic Cage performance doesn't come close to being as wacky as this. It truly is something special.
  • The moment he gets his vampire teeth
  • The end seen between Cage and his psychiatrist
  • "I'm a Vampire!, I'm a Vampire!, I'm a Vampire!, I'm a Vampire!"
  • "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!"
MEH!
  • The film seems to change it's mind on what is actually going on mid way through
  • His insanity is never really justified 
  • What the hell is going on with Cage's accent?
BOO!
  • The script
  • Everyone Else's performance
VERDICT!

YAY! 
              (Only due to Nic Cage's performance. The rest of the movie gets a MEH!)
