We’re always in the mood for a hot-vampire thriller, so it’s with pleasure that we pass along the news that those devils at Magnet Releasing have acquired world rights to writer/director Xan Cassavetes’ KISS OF THE DAMNED, an erotic vampire film that will make its world premiere as the closing night film of International Critics’ Week at the Venice Film Festival this Friday September 7th.
The flick stars Joséphine de La Baume (One Day), Milo Ventimiglia (Rocky Balboa, “Heroes”), Roxane Mesquida (Rubber) and Riley Keough (Jack and Diane, The Runaways).
KISS OF THE DAMNED is the story of Djuna (Joséphine de La Baume), a beautiful vampire who tries to resist the advances of the handsome, human screenwriter Paulo (Milo Ventimiglia), but eventually gives in to temptation. When her troublemaker sister Mimi (Roxane Mesquida) arrives unexpectedly, Djuna’s love story is threatened and the whole vampire community becomes endangered.
“Xan Cassavetes has managed to breathe new life into a tired genre in one of the most original, and frankly hottest horror movies I’ve seen in a very long time,” said Magnet/Magnolia president Eamonn Bowles. “KISS OF THE DAMNED is a smart film with real artistic aspirations that is also incredibly fun to watch.”
No release date has been set.
