Kiss Of The Damned - 2012 - 5/10
Another vampire spin.
Scriptwriter is sent to Connecticut to work on a Hollywood project.
In the video rental store (huh?) he meets a hot babe.
He pursues, though she warns him repeatedly.
Safe sex ensues, meaning she is shackled with massive steel chains to her four poster.
When she gets aroused her beast emerges. Does he flee? Of course not, he’s a writer.
He unshackles her (?). They bounce, she bites.
In time, the usual coven of fangsters appear, elegant and wealthy, for off-Broadway plays and cocktails.
Arthouse twaddle directed by Xan Cassavetes (John’s daughter), which violates numerous vampire rules:
Vampire seen in mirrors. Drink of choice, synthetic blood. Living prey, forest animals. Latter example, possum.
Dark, moody film, with not enough time given to bloodthirsty, dysfunctional sister.
