Kissed

DIRECTED BY: Lynne Stopkewich

REVIEWED: 05-15-97

If it weren't for the incredibly annoying and pretentious voice-overs, this film about a young necrophiliac would be merely mediocre. As it is, it is nearly insufferable--every few minutes the lead character presents mock-philosophical commentary on what is already an obvious scene. It's too bad, really, because some largely uncharted cinematic territory is explored here. Unfortunately, Kissed winds up being just another boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-kills-himself-and-girl-fucks-his-corpse story.
