About Kiss of the Damned

Djuna is a striking vampire who keeps her distance from the human world, but a chance encounter with Paolo, a charismatic screenwriter, pulls him into a dangerous attraction. Their growing chemistry turns a forbidden affair into a vivid romance, one that unsettles the quiet balance of Djuna's nocturnal circle. When Mimi, her volatile sister, arrives unannounced, old tensions flare and the fragile harmony within the vampire community comes under strain. The narrative leans on mood and sensual tension to explore power, desire, and the costs of breaking rules that have governed their kind for centuries. The atmosphere is dusky and intimate, inviting the audience to feel the pull between longing and danger without rushing toward a predictable payoff.

Directed by Xan Cassavetes, Kiss of the Damned is an original screenplay that blends thriller and romance with vampire lore. The cast includes Joséphine de la Baume, Milo Ventimiglia, Roxane Mesquida, Michael Rapaport, and Riley Keough.

The film favors mood over spectacle, with a hushed pace and lush nocturnal visuals that emphasize attraction and danger. It questions how desire tests loyalty within a close knit undead world and how love can survive the weight of centuries.
