The SassyFlix Take

When a penniless countess trades her tiara for tarot, things get deliciously weird. Devil's Kiss throws in a séance, a lascivious dwarf, and a funkadelic fashion show before descending into basement corpse-reanimation and Gothic vengeance. All in a day's work for Euro-horror’s campy elite.
From the Vault

From the vault: proof that necromancy pairs best with haute couture and candlelight.

Why Cult

Gothic Castle Séances

The story unfolds in a candle-lit chateau where séances, occult research, and revenge plots simmer in true Gothic style.

Fashion Show Madness

A funky, avant-garde fashion show sets the stage for the film’s blend of the supernatural and the absurd.

Euro-Horror Nudity

Devil's Kiss delivers on its psychotronic promise with an array of nudity and risqué moments, true to 1970s Euro-horror form.

Reanimated Revenge

A mutilated corpse is brought back to life in a dank cellar and sent on a mission of vengeance—classic mad scientist mayhem.

About This Film

When the Countess de Moncourt is left destitute by the suicide of her husband, she resumes her former identity as Claire Grandier—comely Goth and medium! Teaming up with Dr. Gruber, a down-on-his-luck telepath, they accept an invitation from an eccentric duke to stage a séance at his candle-lit castle, as a follow-up to a funky fashion show of hilarious “avant garde” wear. Impressed by Claire’s command of the supernatural, the duke invites her and Gruber to room at his chateau. Working from a dank cellar with the help of a lascivious dwarf, Claire—aided by Gruber’s telepathic powers—succeeds in reanimating a pauper’s mutilated corpse and sending it on a mission of revenge…but how will she control this doddering zombie should Gruber succumb to his weak heart?
