Writer/director Christian
Grillo’s wickedly twisted sci-fi thriller, Apocalypse Kiss, will be getting its
DVD debut from Midnight Releasing on Apr. 8.
If Blade Runner had a sequel
this would be it. The futuristic city of
Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) has continued on in Apocalypse Kiss … only it
has gotten seedier and more dangerous (if that is possible).
His “successor” in law
enforcement is Jerry Hipple (Tom Detrik — Angel’s Blade), who spends his days
trying to track down The Red Harvest Killer, but the why of it seems
pointless.
Hipple, it would seem, is
simply going through the motions as it is clear from what we can see of this
futuristic city that it is on the verge of devolving into a Felliniesque state of the absurd. Rumor is the world is ending. Could be.

But when Adrian (D.C.
Douglas), the real serial killer, hears of these copycats poaching on his turf
he does the only sensible thing … he turns to Hipple for help!!! He reasons that he is an artist and each one
of his victims is a work of art and having rank amateurs getting credit for his
work simply cannot stand!
Apocalypse Kiss is a nicely done — the f/x and CGI are
studio-level — and the storyline is downright bizarre. And Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman playing the
president only makes it more so.
Bonus features include a
behind-the-scenes featurette, fake television commercials from the future and
cast and crew commentary.
