The plot is quintessential gothic erotica: After their father’s death, two American women inherit a mysterious castle in Italy. One of them, Catherine (Fenn), falls under the spell of a cursed count, Lawrence (Jamieson), who transforms into a beastly creature. The "kiss of the beast" refers to a blood pact that binds lovers across time—a metaphor for desire, monstrosity, and eternal damnation.
While appreciated for its aesthetics, modern reviewers often find the film's "inciting incident"—involving drugging and sexual assault—to be highly problematic and poorly handled compared to its romantic themes. Meridian (1990) - Silver Emulsion Film Reviews
Visually, Meridian is a fever dream. It was filmed at the famous Castle gothic sets used in many Full Moon Features productions. It is filled with fog machines, cobwebs, and gauzy lighting.
Hidden beneath the glamour of the circus is an ancient family curse that transforms men into beast-like creatures. As Catherine delves deeper into the castle's secrets, she must find a way to break the centuries-old curse before she becomes its next victim.
Released in 1990, Meridian was directed by Charles Band, the prolific B-movie mogul behind Puppet Master and Trancers . The film was produced under his Full Moon Entertainment banner, known for low-budget but creatively rich fantasy and horror. However, Meridian was an ambitious departure. It is a gothic romance heavily inspired by the Beauty and the Beast fable, but with a dark, erotic twist.
