Audience Reviews for The Kiss

Jun 16, 2015

Pretty good b grade 80's thriller. Had never heard of this one, or most of the cast in it, so was pleasantly surprised. After teenage Amy's mother dies, the estranged aunt she never knew she had enters her life. Felice is beautiful and exotic, but there just may be more to her than meets the eye...and soon a series of tragic events start to happen to people Amy is close to. Genuinely creepy and compelling viewing.

A middle class suburban family discovers that one side of the clan dabbles with the occult and not in the cutesy Hocus Pocus/Practical Magic sort of way. Played ominous from the outset there are some scares here, although with a nearly equal amount of "the dumb characters doing dumb things" schtick that plagues horror films like the Ebola virus gone rabid. The question becomes: does one care about the proceedings enough to stick with it? I didn't.
