Review of Kissed

Kissed (1996)
4/10
Amateurish nonsense
11 July 2004
"Kissed" takes on the daunting issue of necrophilia as it focuses on Sandra (Parker), a necrophiliac who has sex with the dead people in the funeral home where she's employed. If whack job Sandra isn't enough on our plate, the neophytes behind this film serve up an even more whacked out head case in a med student love interest who has similar aberrant psychic proclivities. In an obvious effort to make the disgusting, illegal, and immoral practice of necrophilia (which is never really shown) palatable, the film goes off into a sort of transcendental lalaland where it's kinda/sorta okay to have sex with dead people as long as you respect them in the morning. The result is a bunch of hokum which is difficult to swallow and a cowardly, illusory attempt to illuminate a taboo subject. Combine that huge deficit with the film's obvious indieness and you have a movie which is probably not worth your while. (C-)
