Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMolly Parker almost quit acting just before getting this role. She had just come off of a guest spot on the Highlander series (1992) and felt unfulfilled, not only by that part, but by acting as a profession. She longed to play a full character. So when cinematographer Gregory Middleton, who had worked with Parker before on a short film, reached out to her about taking the lead role on Kissed, Parker took the leap. She didn't care that it was a very controversial film and role that could possibly ruin her career, because to her mind, she didn't have a career to ruin.

- Quotes
[first lines]
Sandra Larson: When you die, your life... flashes, and you disintegrate, radiating energy. When a thing turns into its opposite, when love becomes hate, there are always sparks. But when life turns into death, it's explosive. There are streaks of light, magical, and electrifying. Everyone senses something, some energy, some spirit, some sort of illumination, But I see it. I've seen bodies shining like stars. Some say there's no soul, no afterlife, that life and death is the straightest line on the compass, and nothing more. I say believe what you want, because no matter what you do, cut everything up, burn it all down, you're in the path of something beyond your control.

But what I personally liked the best about it is how it figures relationships, elucidating the insane need of one not having the other have its own and private corner, the need of forcing the other to share it, and the woe that comes from not being able to stand it. In this line, necrophilia becomes just an excuse.
