If you are looking for stream Burning Kiss I am told that it will be available to rent or buy on Apple TV, Fetch TV, Google Play and YouTube on April 1.

I’m not entirely sure what I was expecting from Burning Kiss, but if the opening sequence was anything to go by, the movie took a quick turn and took me in a direction that I wasn’t expecting (sitting here writing this I’ll admit that for some reason I was expecting there to be science fiction elements to do with global warming), the shots of the burning sun in space and the stars in the night sky gave the movie more of a surreal quality then I was expecting.

I was completely unfamiliar with writer/director Robbie Studsor’s work though as it turns out this is Studsor’s first feature. I really wasn’t that familiar with anybody who was cast in this either, though after looking through a few filmographies it turns out that I am almost certain that at the very least I have come across Richard Mellick cast in a few roles over the years. can’t quite put my finger on it but for the briefest of moment I was reminded of the 1997 movie A gun, a Car, a Blonde thinking about I am pretty sure that it can be put down that both are noir movies featuring somebody in a wheelchair.
Richard Mellick, Alyson Walker and Liam Graham all gave good performances, I particularly enjoyed the Father/Daughter chemistry between Mellick and Walker and the anger, resentment, fear and guilt that clearly keeps the two of them together.
