Kiss and Be Killed

About This Movie

Kiss and Be Killed is this bizarre little gem from '91 that sort of slips under the radar. The film blends horror and thriller elements with a very off-kilter atmosphere. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it works in its favor, especially as Cynthia's psyche unravels after the brutal attack. The practical effects are a mixed bag, but they add a certain gritty charm to the whole experience. The performances, particularly from the lead, really sell the descent into madness—there's a palpable tension as she interacts with the mannequin, believing it's her husband. It’s definitely a distinct take on the revenge theme, showcasing how trauma manifests in the most twisted ways.

Bizarre take on revenge and trauma. · Uneven pacing that enhances the tension. · Interesting practical effects that add to its charm.
