Rencontre avec un vampire

I am a lover of what's referred to by movie enthusiasts as "movies so bad, they're good", and MIDNIGHT KISS fits perfectly in that category for me. It's cheesy. The acting is so-so. The dialogue is amusing. There's some decent blood and gore effects. And it has vampires! My favorite horror movie monsters. Is my 7 rating too high? Probably to most people. But I was close to giving it an 8; it was that entertaining to me.

Same old story: girl meets boy, boy bites girl, girl has uncontrollable desires to dress like a tramp and eat steak tartare. No special effects to speak of, and it looks like it was made for about $5. Gregory A. Greer is a stylin' vamp though. Neat little touches like how he sleeps in a body bag and wears a cross for an earring. Plus he's simply beautiful. Too bad this is the only movie he's been in (according to IMDB). I used one of my free rentals to get this, so I think I got my money's worth. 5 out of 10.

I just actually watched the movie, but I was sitting here reading other comments and people were wondering what happened to the guy who played the vampire so I did some research and this is what I found. It is a posting that he did on another site.

Greg Greer Born Southern baptist preachers son Went to Bible college to become missionary got married left religion behind with family joined a rock band moved to Memphis Tenn. hooked up with producer at Phionix records Eli Ball sold publishing for a few songs to get bus ticket. went to Hollywood Ca.

I found it on IDN.com. There were also some tour dates listed.

A must have in any video collection. It had some of the best B-rate actors; except for Gregory A. Greer, who I think was the one to save this movie from a total disaster. The Vampire played his role realistically with a touch of comedy in the face of immortal loneliness. The sad demise of Gregory's character was a turn-off but he was one actor you just had to rewind and watch again, again, and again. I would love to see him in a better movie sometime soon, but for now this awesome movie will work just fine.

Hotdamn, what a very cheesy vampire movie (there's only one vampire running around in it, by the way) that can't compete with its modest budgeted counterparts produced around the same time; think about the decent "Children Of The Night" (1991) and the so-so "Son Of Darkness: To Die For II" (1991). Nevertheless "Midnight Kiss" is a fun quickie with some boobies and gore (exploding head!), but that's about it. As an early nineties horror outing, "Midnight Kiss" does manage to entertain for most of its running time and it's worth a watch for vampire enthusiasts (I had fun with it and there's worse Z-grade vampire fodder out there). But if you're looking for a good horror movie, then best look elsewhere.
