Wiki.
The Kiss is a 1988 supernatural horror film directed by Pen Densham and starring Joanna Pacula and Meredith Salenger. The plot follows two young women who find themselves haunted by an ancient parasitic curse that was passed on to one of them by a kiss.
A co-production between the United States and Canada, The Kiss was filmed in Montreal in 1987, and released by TriStar Pictures in the fall of 1988. It was a box-office failure, and received mixed reviews from critics, with some dismissing it on the basis of its performances, while others compared it to the classic horror film Cat People (1942). Film critic Harry M. Benshoff has claimed the film to be an allegory of the AIDS epidemic of the late 1980s.
