'Meridian: Kiss of the Beast' (1990) – Charles Band. 

The 90s would prove to be an exceptionally creative, and cinematically credible decade for the prolifically monster making, fully-lit fright-makers at Full Moon. 'Meridian: Kiss of the Beast' finds the inventive, low budget impresario, Charles Band in masterful form, working from Dennis 'Castle Freak' Paoli wonderfully melodramatic, darkly romantic text, arguably making the oneiric, erotically-inclined fairy tale, 'Meridian Kiss of the Beast' one of the more exotic, zip-burstingly sexy, bodice-rippingly red-blooded Gothic fantasies of Mr. Band's idiosyncratic film-making career.

'Meridian: Kiss of the Beast' retains all its toothsomely terrific charms, being a fabulously fear-festooned furry tale with grisly apparitions, macabre family secrets, flamboyant, female-doping Carnies, ancient curses, and a magisterially imposing castle, replete with a sympathetic love-lorn beast, and his exquisite paramour, enticingly played by picture-perfect princess, Sherilyn Fenn. Not long after beautiful sculptress, Catherine Bomarazini returns home to the forbidding family estate she meets 'un-cutely', and falls fatefully in love with the tall, broodingly handsome magician (Malcolm Jamieson), and their forbidden, increasingly ardent passions escalate until the fascinating film's blood-curdlingly bestial climax!!! 'Meridian: Kiss of the Beast' is one of Full Moon's moist romantic, howlingly horrific, fear-flocked fables; Charles Band's dreamlike, doom-laden, terminally tragic love story is sensually illuminated by the mesmerizing beauty of the disarmingly angelic, Sherilyn Fenn!!!!!!
