Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Mathster
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

THE KISS starts off in typical American suburban territory with a normal family who you just know are going to be plagued by sinister events (just like the family in POLTERGEIST. And THE ENTITY. And THE GATE. And THE AMITYVILLE HORROR. The list is endless.) In the first half of the film, there is a lot of expository material like this, and it's quite boring indeed. A little boring and a little dull and even hard to sit through in places. Luckily, there are some meaty deaths to enliven the proceedings, which are pretty gory when it comes down to it. I wasn't expecting gore of this sort so I was pleasantly surprised. The film then takes an upward turn towards the conclusion, and guess what? It actually becomes quite good. Not amazing or ground breaking, but quite enjoyable. Lots of fighting and magic things and deaths occur and they blend together well, like a nice bowl of vegetable soup.The acting is all right. Joanna Pacula is splendidly evil, but not over the top. She also sheds her clothes rapidly too, another surprise. Meredith Salenger is annoying, yes, but not as annoying as her '90s counterpart Neve Campbell. thankfully. The gore really adds to this film and makes it pretty enjoyable. The plot is executed well too, and there are enough turns and thrills to keep the viewer engaged in the action. I had a good experience with this film. I didn't expect much from it but I found myself enjoying it. A big surprise seeing as I usually hate family-orientated horror films such as these, full of drippy sentimentality and obnoxious actors and actresses. THE KISS isn't anything brilliant, but it's good enough to be better than average. Slightly.

Pucker up and get ready to die. Teenager Amy (Meredith Salenger) just lost her mom to a freak accident. Her long lost Aunt Felice shows up five months after the death to help out. At First Amy is excited to meet Felice (Joanna Pacula) because she is a fashion model and seems hip. Then things get weird when strange accidents happen. There is a great escalator scene when Amy's friend Heather gets hurt.Amy and her dad start to fight over Felice's presence. Doesn't help that Amy's dad is sleeping with Felice. Amy tries to tell her dad and her neighbor Brenda(Mimi Kuzyk)but no one believes her that Felice had anything to do with the strange accidents. They think Amy just misses her mom. But Amy knows Felice has a secret. This is a fun film! Has a lot of gory scenes and a great cast. Mimi Kuzyk is great as Brenda who tries to help Amy.Watch it late at night with popcorn! It is sort of a supernatural reverse version of the Stepfather. I liked the soundtrack. It set the mood. death scenes are great. watch out for the worst puppet cat to ever grace the movies!

I can't believe anybody gave this piece of crap a '10'. This is reutine horror which uses a thriller structure to try to legitamize the absurd idea of a woman possessed by a demon with a demon-cat to do her dirty work.*SPOILERS*The acting is pathetic and the suspense is workman-like at best. It really feels like made-for-cable horror with better film-quality. It attempts to be classy with a "historical" prologue in the middle-east.When we meet the leading girl (or favored victim) she is just another teenaged thing without any remarkable features and we are asked to like her and her bimbo friend. Her friend speculates about the possessed aunt "Screwing Mick Jagger and Sting at the same time", only adding to her valley-girl "cuteness". She is attacked by an escalator, but sadly we don't get to see her die. The rest of the film involves the demon-aunt seducing the girl's father and using her demon-cat to protect her secret. It all boils down to the same old tired, ancient-demon-stalks-present-day format which Lovecraft tried to make work back in the day.*End Spoilers*Don't bother watching this if you seriously want to be scarred or intrigued. There isn't enough plot, horror, or exploitation in this wreck to please any horror fan. This thing is purely for insomniacs or for people who have no discriminating tastes. THE KISS is just your typical waste of time.

This movie is about an evil enity passed down from generation to generation in an unfortunate family. It's an evil snake-like creature that controls the body ( if you've seen Jason Goes To Hell, it's similar to that ). The movie opens with two young sisters in Africa. One is leaving to Europe with her Aunt. During the ride, the Aunt passes the creature into her niece's body through a "kiss". 25 years later, the other sister has a husband and daughter named Amy ( Meredith Salenger from The Journey Of Natty Gan, and most recently Lake Placid ) who live in New York. The mother dies in an accident, and 5 months later the sister, Felice ( Joanna Pacula )shows up. Now Amy most protect herself before it's to late because Aunt Felice wants to give her a deadly kiss. It's better than it sounds. Meredith Salenger and Mimi Kuzyk ( she plays a friend of the family ) are very likeable in there roles and Joanna Pacula is good at being creepy. Favorite line : Amy : " I want some fritos, I want a f**kin' diet coke " ( after her Aunt has given her all this " healthy food " crap ).
