Programmer's Pick

If your idea of horror involves séances, reanimated corpses, and the sort of castle basement where no one should trust the plumbing, Devil's Kiss delivers. Between avant-garde fashion catwalks and occult revenge plots, this Euro-horror serves up gothic style and supernatural sleaze in equal measure.

Overview

Devil's Kiss opens with the Countess de Moncourt, left penniless after her husband's suicide, reclaiming her old identity as Claire Grandier—a gothic medium with a penchant for the occult. She teams up with Dr. Gruber, a telepath fallen on hard times, and together they accept an invitation to perform a séance at a remote, candle-lit castle. The event follows a wild fashion show, hinting at the eccentricities of their aristocratic host. Impressed by Claire's supernatural prowess, the duke invites the duo to stay at his chateau. From the castle's shadowy cellar, Claire and Gruber begin conducting bizarre experiments with the help of a mischievous dwarf, setting the stage for gothic horror, occult rituals, and supernatural revenge.
