About With her narrative feature debut, Xan Cassavetes (Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession) has crafted a stylish and sensory visual and aural experience that recalls the best of smart and racy European genre films from the '60s and '70s. Kiss of the Damned is the story of Djuna (de La Baume), a beautiful vampire who tries to resist the advances of the handsome, human screenwriter Paulo (Ventimiglia), but eventually gives in to temptation. When her troublemaker sister Mimi (Mesquida) arrives unexpectedly, Djuna's love story is threatened and the whole vampire community becomes endangered.
