Unrated director's cut of The Kiss of A Vampire now streaming on TUBI
'This is horror for people who like their vampires not just deadly, but incredibly romantic.'— Richard Douglas Jensen
HUNTSVILLE, AR, UNITED STATES, July 8, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- The most anticipated horror movie of the year is now streaming on TUBI. The Kiss of A Vampire is the tale of a mentally fragile young woman who marries a handsome doctor, only to discover her handsome and seductive husband is a 1,200-year-old vampire with insatiable blood lust.
British actor Philip Hulford stars as Wessex, the sensual, romantic and terrifying vampire. It is his first starring role in a feature film.
Saporah Bonnette, who made her film debut in Poverty Row Pictures' Monster Grizzly in 2024, has her first starring role as Carol, a woman child who has spent most of her life in psychiatric hospitals. She marries Wessex in haste and, when she realizes her husband is a vampire, has to make a life-altering choice. Should she run from Wessex or join him in an eternity of romance and blood-letting.
Hollywood rising star Emma Hayley Jensen plays Hera. A nun defrocked for romancing her fellow nuns, Hera becomes a vicious and effective vampire slayer determined to kill Wessex – and a fallen priest named Petrov.
Legendary New York playwright and stage actress Bambi Everson plays the Witch, a tour de force performance by an actress of singular talent and acting skill.
Produced by Alabama-based Poverty Row Pictures, The Kiss of A Vampire, was shot in Guntersville and Birmingham, Alabama.
Writer, producer director Richard Douglas Jensen – who also stars as Petrov, the fallen priest – said this is the most ambitious – and expensive – film ever produced by Poverty Row Pictures.
'We wanted to do a horror film that was over the top, and nothing is more over the top than the Italian-style 'giallo' horror. So, we took every element of 'giallo' and we put them all in the movie,' Jensen said. 'This is horror for people who like their vampires not just deadly, but incredibly seductive and romantic.'
Laden with gory, graphic violence and heady romance, The Kiss of A Vampire was an official selection and semi-finalist at the Cannes World Film Festival. Critics have praised the edgy sensuality of the film and the superb cinematography by Sterling Brown, Anna Khristoforova and FX cinematographer Steven Coleman.
The Kiss of A Vampire is distributed worldwide by ITN Distribution.

If you want underrated Netflix shows, then watch these three programs (August 1-3)
While Netflix and TV mean the same thing for some people, that doesn't necessarily mean that finding something worth your time is all that easy. If you've ever found yourself scrolling through Netflix searching for just the right movie or show, then you know that the recommendations you get aren't necessarily always perfect. In light of the limitations of the algorithm, we've pulled together a list of three underrated shows that are all available on Netflix and all well worth your time. Take a look: Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Outlander (2014-) Although this show debuted to critical acclaim and has maintained a devoted fandom throughout its long run on the air, Outlander is no longer as beloved or popular as it once was. The series is romantic high fantasy and follows a woman living in the 1950s as she's transported 200 years into the past. She finds herself torn between the husband she left behind and the new man she's falling for in the past. Breathtakingly romantic, Outlander is definitely a show about love and all of its many complications and dramas, but it's incredibly good at being that. You can watch Outlander on Netflix. Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp (2015) The 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer remains, in some ways, the ideal gonzo comedy of its era. Nothing in the movie makes much sense, and none of it really has to, in part because it features a cast filled with people who would go on to become major stars. First Day of Camp attempts to recapture the magic of that original film and succeeds to a larger extent than you might expect. Not every single joke lands, but as a vehicle for laughs, you could do a lot worse than this revival series, which managed to get even Paul Rudd to show up for a moment. You can watch Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp on Netflix. Chef's Table: BBQ (2020) A show that's guaranteed to make even the vegetarians amongst us hungry, Chef's Table: BBQ is a food travelogue that hones in on barbecue in all of its various forms and travels all around the world to sample them. While Netflix offers many excellent food documentaries, this season of Chef's Table uniquely enhances your appreciation for a type of cuisine that has been integral to most people's lives for years. Barbecue has plenty of long, beautiful traditions, and Chef's Table: BBQ shines a spotlight on all of them. You can watch Chef's Table: BBQ on Netflix.

Their First Date Was Delayed. Their Future Wasn't.
Corey Edwin Lockett was 30 minutes late to his first date with Vanessa Dalemark Berentsen at Dutch Fred's, a cocktail bar in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan. After a long day at work with the New York Giants, where he was a pro personnel intern at the time, he had driven in from Alpine, N.J., and hadn't anticipated just how difficult parking in Manhattan would be. 'I thought he was ghosting me,' Ms. Berentsen said. 'He kept texting me saying he was looking for parking, but I was confused. How is it taking this long?' It was July 28, 2018, just nine days after the two had matched on Tinder. With the National Football League preseason underway — one of the busiest times in football operations — Mr. Lockett wasn't interested in dating casually. 'A large portion of dating intentionally was due to my schedule,' he said, 'but also how comfortable that person would be with the hours that I work.' When he finally arrived, they greeted each other with a hug. 'I felt the connection right away,' Mr. Lockett said. Over cocktails and appetizers, they talked for more than three hours about family, music and the different cities and cultures that shaped them. Ms. Berentsen, who had moved to New York City from Edmonds, Wash., after spending her earliest years in Kristiansand, Norway, didn't have family nearby. Mr. Lockett, who had relocated from Warner Robins, Ga., understood. 'He grew up in a small town in Georgia, and I was born far away,' Ms. Berentsen said. 'I think that helped us understand each other immediately.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

The LeapMove is a gamified camera designed to get kids off the couch
LeapFrog has announced a new electronic learning system that swaps controllers for a camera. In fact, the LeapMove looks like an oversized, kid-friendly webcam, but is designed to connect to TVs like a console and get kids off the couch using educational games that require full-body movements to play. It's reminiscent of the Xbox Kinect or the PlayStation 2's EyeToy, but simpler and much cheaper than competitors' products like the $249 Nex Playground. The LeapMove will be available through retailers including Target, Walmart, and Amazon for $69.99, and comes with 25 motion-based games designed for kids aged 4 to 7. It might be hard to pull the older end of that demographic away from games like Roblox, Among Us, and even Fortnite, but in addition to motion detection, the LeapMove uses its camera to make players appear as themselves or 'whimsical characters' in several games, which may appeal to younger kids. The games cover 'foundational school subjects' including math, reading, and spelling, and require players to do everything from dancing around to waving their arms and even attempting to catch on-screen objects. The LeapMove connects to a TV over HDMI, and instead of rechargeable batteries it needs access to a power outlet. It can be used either sitting beneath a TV or perched atop it like a webcam using a fold-out support. LeapFrog says additional games will be made available for the LeapMove at a later date, which can be loaded by connecting the device to a computer and using the company's LeapFrog Connect desktop app. They won't be free, but unlike the Nex Playground, the LeapMove doesn't come with any subscription fees. Parents concerned about privacy, particularly with devices that rely heavily on a camera, may appreciate that the LeapMove has no wireless connectivity. In 2018, VTech, LeapFrog's parent company, agreed to settle for a $650,000 fine after the FTC alleged it collected kids' personal information, including names, emails, and genders, through its KidiConnect mobile app. The LeapMove is completely standalone and keeps track of up to three players' progress locally.
