It was back in 2012 at the height of recent feature successes like Machete and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse Double Feature that a trailer was introduced online for Atrocious helmer Fernando Barreda Luna‘s latest new shortfilm, Kiss Of Vengeance. Since then, the shortfilm completed its overall post-production before leaving an impression during last year’s film festival run as the central pitch to potentially help fund a feature-length film inspired by its concept-a gritty, seething and stylish Tex-Mex revenge opera about a young woman who walks the neverending path of blood to find the men who massacred her mother and father right before her eyes.
Kiss of Vengeance is a western tale about a girl who becomes a true hero that fights the Mafia, inspired by a deep desire of pursuing the killers who executed her family in a horrible massacre back in the 90’s. This is the lonely journey about a renegade young rider who can’t trust anyone but her own skills. Set in the outlawed border of Mexico and U.S. ruled by the Cartels.
