Dagger Kiss

Tucky Williams is the writer, director and the beautiful lead actress in Dagger Kiss. She puts together an interesting tale of love and lust, in and out of a mysterious and magical world.

The writing, acting and directing all shine through with her use of beautiful actresses Amanda Morales and Roni Jonah and a visually magical-mythical world.

The story moves through two dimensions easily and is the scenery is visually stunning. The dialogue is clever and the acting is superb. The characters are well thought out and the actors themselves show a lot of depth.

Dagger Kiss is a sexy tale of intrigue, magic and love.

To start with, I don't think it's a spoiler since it isn't as clear in the beginning, there are two worlds in this series: a magical one with connections to the real one, and the characters can traverse between the two pretty easily. This isn't as clear in the first couple of episodes, so it can be jarring when you do not expect it.

The series is a story of love and loss, coupled with an exploitative villain, and shows someone finding love again while realizing their true power. It's a good story and the acting carries the shortages of special effects due to the Indie budget.

Tucky Williams is the lead and has a chance to show some range compared to her character in the groundbreaking Girl/Girl scene. Amanda Morales & Roni Jonah are other Girl/Girl scene alumni who get to expand on what you might have seen them perform before (more the former than latter). Otherwise, the rest of the cast (notably including Stoya) rounds out around them and Thomas Phillips as Zareth.

What hurts the movie is the lack of big-picture special effects; with some more cash for the glam CGI viewers have become used to, the transitions between the magical and real world would likely have carried over better. But it is an Indie production, made with the cast & crew's access to real locations, and still shine's despite the handicap due to the strength of story and acting abilities of the cast.

If you're looking for a tour-de-force in fantasy SFX, this is not the show for you. If you're used to creative Indie films which make the most of their scale budget, this is a good series to watch.

This was hideously bad. Almost too bad to bear. Some movies are so bad they are funny, but this isn't even funny. I'm guess the budget was somewhere around 12 dollars and it shows. The writing and dialogue is on par with a 3rd grade short story assignment. The "acting" is cringeworthy. And the story is boring. You could literally do better casting any random person you met in a grocery store, which appears to be what they may have done. This is so painful to watch. Please spare yourself some boredom and annoyance and skip this steaming pile. I can not think of one positive aspect of this random video. Calling it a movie is actually not even accurate. Just don't watch it. Stare at the ceiling for an hour and you will be far better off.

The series had potential as a sword-and-sorcery type drama, reminiscent of several B-grade (but entertaining) movies of the 1970s/80s. However, it doesn't even live up to those low standards. Plot is close to non-existent, acting is woeful, production values are very cheap, directing is unimaginative.

Plus, why release this as a series, when each episode is less than 10 minutes long? As a 70-80 minute movie at least it would have had some momentum and continuity (I assume. I am probably giving the producers far more credit than they deserve).
