Writer, director and musician Rene Perez has carved out a career in the mainstream as a genre filmmaker whose sensibilities air on the side of “guns, gore and boobs” – his films don’t shy away from the violence, nudity and plenty of blood and guts. He found success with genre fans with the Playing With Dolls films and then hit more of the mainstream with Death Kiss – the Death Wish homage that starred Charles Bronson lookalike Robert Bronzi. However, Perez has also focused on films that have heavy Christian/right-wing leanings but still throw in plenty of violence etc. unlike the stereotypical “preachy” nature of typical Christian movies; films like the recently released The Legend of Hawes, which mixed faith-based filmmaking with Texas Chainsaw Massacre style backwoods horror.

Through five Death Wish movies spanning 20 years, Charles Bronson delivered a unique brand of justice to violent criminals who crossed (and sometimes ended) the paths of his family and friends. Although the iconic actor passed away back in 2003, Bronson's memory lives on in the new film Death Kiss, starring Robert Kovacs as a man who could be Paul Kersey's doppelgänger. With Death Kiss coming out on digital and VOD platforms on October 2nd from Uncork'd Entertainment, we've been provided with an exclusive clip from the film to share with Daily Dead readers!

Press Release: Uncork'd Entertainment announces a digital/VOD release date of October 2nd for new action-vigilante feature Death Kiss.

Filmed in Northern California, the film stars Robert Kovacs (who has gained attention for his uncanny resemblance to a certain well-known action star), Daniel Baldwin (John Carpenter’S Vampires), Richard Tyson, Eva Hamilton (horror fest fave Ruin Me), Stormi Maya,...

I’ve got a ridiculous trailer here for you to watch today for a new vigilante action-thriller called Death Kiss. As you’ll see, it a Charles Bronson-style film and it comes complete with a Charles Bronson look-a-like! That actors name is Robert ‘Bronzi’ Kovacs, and he doesn’t do much talking in the trailer. It’s clear he’s just there to look like Bronson and kick some ass and I found it quite amusing.

The film follows a vigilante with a mysterious past who goes to a crime-infested city and takes the law into his own hands, at the same time protecting a young mother and her child. When talking about the film, producer Jeff Miller says:

“Rene’s movie is very cool and stylish. It feels like a throwback to the Cannon films of the ’80s. After an enthusiastic response at Texas Frightmare Weekend in May,...

We haven't gotten a new Charles Bronson movie since Family of Cops 3 way back in 1999. The actor passed away at age 81 in 2003, and there has been a hole in action cinema ever since. Now, one man is stepping in to fill that hole, and you'll either find it indelibly creepy or really cool. It all depends on how you feel about lookalikes and their need to make money off the dead.

Meet R&#243bert Kov&#225cs. He's a dead ringer for Charles Bronson that will have you doing double-takes. Now, he's taken his notoriety for being a Paul Kersey doppelganger, and is giving us essentially a lost Death Wish movie, aptly titled Death Kiss. And, oh, boy. We're not sure what to make of it just yet.

Filmed in Northern California, Death Kiss also features Daniel Baldwin, Richard Tyson, Eva Hamilton, Stormi Maya, Leia Perez, Reese Austyn, and Sam Story.
