60's Style Clip from 'Kiss of the Damned'

Very 60's, kind of 70's. The flash intercut (is that the right term?) is not used anymore. Not surprising coming from Xan Cassavetes. Very classy, elegant.

One of those flicks you pull off the shelf from time to time.

Cassavetes' Style

Xan Cassavetes comes across very sure of herself and so does her camera work. There's no trying here, it's just good.

Looking forward.

'Kiss of the Damned'

You see this kind of thing and...it could go either way. There's nothing in the trailer that indicates the movie will be good, or bad. (True, the title is something of a throwback but I'll give it a pass). It's competent, pretty tight, but there's not much else to go on.

So...you look for indicators, stuff that tips the balance. Being written and directed by Xan Cassavetes, yes John's daughter and Nick's sister, is just such an indicator. That alone makes the flick must-see. Well, that and the killer poster.
