Plot

Walking home from school, two boys discuss their issues with girls.

An appropriate Midnight section world premiere, Kisses blends horror and comedic elements to dig its teeth into a familiar genre entrée: a youngster’s first sexual experience. This isn’t a sexual experience with a fellow human, mind you, but one with a female mannequin head come to life to suck (and eat) face. As two boys headed home question each other about their first sexual encounter, they innocently come across disassembled parts of a mannequin left in an alley. When one of the boys gets called out for never having kissed a girl, he takes the ceramic head home to practice. All alone in a bedroom covered in photos of pretty girls on the wall and used tissues underneath the bed, the boy quickly gets more than he bargained for. An amusing riff on the supposed innocence most narratives depict when spotlighting adolescent sexuality, writer/director Sean U’Ren aptly employs an Evil Dead 2 visual homage (a disconnected head with a hint of the uncanny) that’s both horrific and twistedly endearing.
