Jezebel's Kiss

I recently watched Jezebel's Kiss (1990) on Tubi. The storyline follows a woman who arrives in a small town and begins relationships with several residents while asking questions about a woman who has been missing for a long time. As she starts uncovering strange things about the missing woman, people start dying around town. How is the woman connected to the deaths and the long-missing woman?

This film is directed by Harvey Keith (Mondo New York) and stars Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Katherine Barrese (Payback), Everett McGill (Twin Peaks), Meg Foster (They Live), and Meredith Baxter (Family Ties).

This movie had so much potential, with a Twin Peaks vibe, an interesting storyline, and a solid cast. However, it fell short due to one critical issue: the poor casting of the main character. Katherine Barrese's performance was flat and couldn't keep up with the rest of the cast, despite her beauty. The soundtrack was solid, but Keith also missed the mark on the delivery of the flashbacks, which felt awkward. Additionally, the ending father/son fight was strange. I did enjoy the overall twist at the end.

In conclusion, Jezebel's Kiss had all the ingredients for success but fails in execution and the casting of the crucial main character. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

The movie wasn't too good, but it was the first time I had ever heard the name Jezebel (I don't read the bible very often as you can tell) and it was so beautiful sounding that I'm naming my first child Jezebel (despite the derogatory meaning of the name itself), and I guess I have this movie to thank

I felt that this was an excellent movie because my uncle jack earl purdy was in this movie. i must have watched it at least 1,0000 times or more. his face would light up every time he saw himself. this movie was especially excellent seeing it has my favorite actor malcolm baby in it.

The best part of this thing is the soundtrack - if you can call it that - a ridiculous mix of hooting owl screeches, thumbing heartbeaats, Indian flute riffs, saxaphone wails, denoting erotic action, etc etc

The production is depressingly awful - not because of the narrative, but because it's so badly, badly done - I can't blame the actors, they had nothing to work with in terms of script, absolutely zero ..

Well, that's prob enough to give you a pretty good idea of what I thought of this, lol ....

This is probably not the greatest movie, but Katherine Barrese is very good and very beautiful! This is the only film with K.B. in main role, and this is shame!
