Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
TheSoftAnonymous Spoiler alert...if you're interested...So there's three college roommates--Catherine, June, and Amanda. We learn that Amanda is a fairly promiscuous girl pretty early on in the movie. When Catherine's father, Tom, comes to visit, he sees Amanda half-naked and is immediately smitten with her. They sleep together twice before he becomes obsessed. Later on, when Amanda is finished with work one night, she asks her boss to walk her to her car, but he's on the phone. For whatever reason, she decides not to wait and is murdered in her car.From there, the plot drags on as Catherine becomes hysterical and angry while everyone's trying to figure out who killed Amanda. Meanwhile, Tom is taunted by the "creepy stalker guy" that has been watching the three girls, and tries to take advantage of June.So anyone who bothered to watch this movie is wondering, what was the point of the creepy stalker guy, and why did he send pictures of Amanda's murder when it was believed he murdered her? Tom admits in the end that he killed her; clearly the stalker guy is quite perceptive and knew what was going on, knew about Tom's obsession and wanted him to get caught.There are a lot of wasted roles in this movie, which is sad--June, Catherine's mother, and Catherine's boyfriend, Todd. If there wasn't so much time spent on the ridiculous situation of Amanda and Tom, they could have been put to better use. The police are quite gun-happy and shoot without caring--they killed the stalker trying to break in the house and they killed Tom, even though he wanted to die, when they were told to hold their fire.All in all, this is just an odd movie--I finished it shaking my head, wondering, "What did I just watch?" Don't bother with this movie unless you can't find anything else to watch--it's not worth the two hours.
dee-jimenez Flipping though channels while home sick one day, I came upon this movie on Lifetime. What caught my attention was that it starred Charles Shaughnessy and Charlotte Ross. When I read the synopsis of the movie, I thought they would be playing father & daughter....however, I was surprised to see them as lovers since they played father & daughter on Days of Our Lives back in the late 80's & early 90's. I think they were pretty convincing in this movie. I didn't really think of the characters they played on DOOL. The movie was okay. Pretty predictable. It was not a movie that I would go out of my way to see but not bad when nothing else is on.
sol1218 **SPOILERS** Highly confusing and extremely muddled made for TV suspense/thriller that has two stories that come across as if they were two independent films playing together on the same screen at the same time. The movie "A Kiss so Deadly"starts off with Catherine Deese, Dedee Pfeiffer, and her collage room-mate Amanda Blake, Charlotte Ross, leaving a party late one night. Walking to Amanda's car their followed by this creepy-looking guy Yule Werb, Scott Simpson. The two girls later realize that their being followed by car and lose Yule in traffic. As were readying ourselves to see a movie about a crazed stalker on the looses all of a sudden the movie changes course with Catherine's father Tom, Charles Shaughnessy, popping up in her apartment the next day. Tom become smitten with her sexy and experienced room-mate Amanda, the poor man's hooked as soon as he laid eyes on her.Going to the Marlin Bay Club the next evening with some of his friends Tom spots Amanda there as a waitress and you can see that he's addicted to her and that he'll end up going down the tubes if he continues to try to get it on with Amanda. We have both Tom and the creepy Yule compete to who's the sleaziest one of all in the movie. With Yule slinking around the white sands beach, dressed all in black, and Catherine's apartment watching the girls, Catherine and her two room-mates Amanda and June(Noelle Parker),with binoculars and taking their pictures. At the same time Tom is making a complete fool of himself trying to get into Amanda's, after having a one-night fling with him, pants as well as taking advantage of poor and introverted June; this after Amanda was no longer available to him.You first get the impression that Yule has something to do with Tom and their acting, secretly, as some kind of tag-team of sleaze-balls and later feel that there's a falling out between the two. With Yule blackmailing Tom since he has the most to loose between the two, his wife Patty, Kerrie Kane, and his textile business. We also get confused signals to just what happened to Amanda when she's later murdered in her parked car outside the Marlin Bay Club. Since just the scene before she was waiting for a male friend, the bartender and bouncer in the club, to walk her to her car because Yule was there and eying her. You figured that she must have been with the bartender, off camera when she walked to her car? Why then go by herself when Amanda was so terrified to leave the club with Yule snooping around outside? The movie gets even more confusing when the off-the-wall Yule after threatening Tom, by phone, at the textile factory is later shot to death by the police as they catch him trying to break into the Deese's house. The film tries to put everything together at the end but falls sadly apart with the killer exposing himself with nobody watching really caring who he is by then. The Killer Insainly induces himself to get shot by the cops, suicide by police, as he pulls out what looks like a cap-pistol that he must have gotten as a prize out of a Cracker-Jack box. "A Kiss so Deadly" is only worth your time watching it because it's just too bad to be true and at the same time too good for bad-movie fans, in a cheesy and unintentionally funny sort of way, to be bad.
Lenee This is a strange movie, and is also very predictable. It was something to watch on a boring Saturday afternoon, but anyone who buys it on DVD will seriously regret it. It was really weird seeing Charles Shaughnessy making out with Charlotte Ross considering he played her father many years ago on Days of Our Lives...I'm sure it was uncomfortable for the actors too. I've seen a lot worse movies, but I definitely wouldn't watch this one a second time! The ending was both a bit of a shock but also kind of stupid...I mean, when your commanding officer tells you not to shoot, you shoot anyway? With the guy's daughter standing right there? Messed up ending if you ask me. Anyway, this movie's not so bad if you're really really bored and don't mind predictability, but I wouldn't have wasted a warm Saturday afternoon watching this movie if I weren't suffering from a bad cold.
