Dagger Kiss: Enchanted Forest

Let me start off by saying...I am a huge fan of Tucky. I absolutely 💯 love her creativity writing of her creations. I fell admittedly in love watching her tv web series show "Girl Girl Scene","Dagger Kiss" and her acting as well. When this movie came out I was extremely excited to watch it. I wasn't disappointed. This movie has such amazing story lines and superb acting from each character. I absolutely love the scenery, music and the medieval clothing in the movie. Fantastic acting from each and everyone in the movie. I absolutely loved this movie so much, that I wanted to buy it! Glad I did!

I ran across this on Tubi and thought I'd give it a look. It's really bad, the acting, the writing, the costumes, it's just bad in every way. I can only guess that the good reviews here are all people associated with making the picture trying to keep its rating up. The actresses look uncomfortable when they show them kissing each other and trust me, that's all you're going to see is some kissing. For some reason it was rated TV-MA but that's totally fake because it's barely PG for some fake blood. There's a woman in it using a sword and it's painfully obvious that she has no training in actually using it, you can almost see her counting in her head....1.....2.....3.....4. I would tell the producers they wasted their $200 budget because it's unwatchable. I imagine it was filmed on an I-phone so their only cost was a fake sword and costumes from Goodwill and someone's S&M closet. Don't waste your time.

The greatest assets are the two main actresses. Katia is a classic heroine. She is both strong and vulnerable. From the very start you care about her character and what needed to be done to stop the bad guy, Jareth. Arden is the standout. She is earnest, brave, and selfless. She is not burdened with doubt or indecision, setting her apart from the flawed female characters that are typical of most movies. I also liked Jenna, a red haired girl quite a lot. She is sassy and zesty, also probably the most lovely of all the girls.

When I began watching it, after 3 scenes, I didn't like it that much because it was too cliché and cheesy, so I thought to stop watching it, but I decided to watch a couple of more minutes before I gave the verdict and I'm glad I did. I began to enjoy it because the cheesiness went away and the story actually started to expand, and it is really exciting and creative.

Disclaimer, I don't like fantasy, so I did not think I would like this. This is not my typical fare. I watched this because there are actresses in it from a movie I like. That movie is set in the real world. However this movie is not, but the girls are lovely and the scenery is breathtaking,

My main complaint is that I didn't really understand the plot upon my initial viewing, so I needed to watch again. Lots of exposition. I think they spend half the movie explaining what's going on. You could write a novel with all that dialogue.

My second issue is that I couldn't always understand what they were saying. Both because it was fantasy jargon I'm unfamiliar with, and also because I simply could not hear them.

Not everyone is going to like this, which is why I've given it an 8 and not a 10. Ignore the plot and the talking but focus on the beauty of the actresses, characters and the forest they inhabit. If you like fantasy and you don't mind the low budget aspect and can look past that, I think that this is a diamond in the rough treasure that you will enjoy.

I had a great time watching this show. I think you would enjoy it also. The characters were entertaining. I had a little trouble understanding a few things because I hadn't watched the series yet. But not enough to take me out of the show. Found the main character Arden very interesting, with dark powers that aren't used for evil. The actress playing Katia whod you'd think would be the bad girl did pretty well as a love interest and had a twist of character background. The villain Jareth was nicely played. And sometimes didn't seem like the bad guy a few times. There was a really amazing soliloquy that would stop you in your tracks listening to it in a good way. The Red head is definitely scary.

Am I the only one who feels that the woman, Tucky, only makes these films so she can make out with other women? We are quick to judge men and if a man did these movies he'd be thrown to the wlves as someone who is making movies so that he could makeout with women.
