As part of this years SXSW midnight movie linuep, the debut of the vampire film Kiss of the Damned looks to evoke films of the 1960’s and 70’s, and judging by the new poster released today by distributor, Magnet Releasing, it does in spades.
Horror fans of European vampire cinema of the 60’s and 70’s from directors like Jean Rollin and Jess Franco with a little Hammer thrown in will definitely enjoy the gothic style of the poster for Kiss of the Damned.

Kiss of the Damned will be available on iTunes/On Demand March 28, 2013, and in theaters May 3, 2013.
Directed by Xan Cassavetes (Dust) and starring Joséphine de La Baume, Roxane Mesquida (Rubber), Milo Ventimiglia (Cursed), Anna Mouglalis, Michael Rapaport (Push), and Riley Keough (Jack and Diane).
