''With a Kiss I Die'' is a 2018 {{lesbian vampire}} [[GayRomance romance]] film. It was directed by Ronnie Khalil and written by Khalil with Barbara Leibell and Jimmy Orie.
[[HighConcept The premise]] is that after Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet (who apparently [[LiteraryAgentHypothesis were real people]]) committed suicide, a coven of vampires found their bodies and revived Juliet, turning her into a vampire.

She encounters Farryn, an American tourist with a [[DarkAndTroubledPast tragic backstory]]. The two are drawn together and begin a cautious love affair, hampered by interference from Juliet's coven, Juliet's own reluctance to move on from Romeo, and Farryn's dark secret . . .
