Blumhouse Atomic Monster is bringing its twisted coming-of-age horror thriller The Last Kiss to digital platforms on Sept. 15, months ahead of its subscription streaming debut.
Distributed by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, the stylistic slasher is directed and co-written by Yoko Okumura (“Unseen”).
Mckenna Grace (“Scream 7”) stars as Laurel, a teen whose dream of a fairy-tale first kiss turns into a nightmare when she discovers she’s cursed with an ability to see the death of anyone she kisses. When a vision reveals her crush is targeted by a killer terrorizing her friend group, Laurel must unmask the murderer before her vision becomes reality.
“The Last Kiss” is a colorful, fun teen slasher romance, meant to be the perfect spooky sleepover movie for the mystery lover of all ages. It takes the real anxiety and horror that surrounds a first kiss and escalates it to life-or-death stakes,” Okumura said. “The mythology of what the kiss has meant to humans inspired the fairy tale homage woven through the film’s aesthetic, score, and visual language. In a world where many of us fear intimacy and romance, I hope Laurel’s winding journey can offer a respite and maybe even a little hope that all may not be lost.”
The film also stars Jaden Michael (“Colin in Black & White”) and Arkira Chantaratananond (“Twinless”).
