The Last Kiss (2026)
The Last Kiss is a 2026 horror movie directed by Yoko Okumura, with a running time of 1h 37m. It stars Mckenna Grace, Arkira Chantaratananond and Jaden Michael.
A first kiss should be the good part of high school. Laurel gets a curse instead. Kiss someone, see the end of that person's life in full unwanted detail. Her vision of her crush arrives in the middle of a run of attacks on her closest friends, and she has almost no time to work out who is behind them.
Yoko Okumura directs from a script she wrote with Krystal Houghton Ziv and Alon Ziv. Jason Blum produces for Blumhouse, alongside James DeMonaco's Man in a Tree banner. Mckenna Grace leads, with Arkira Chantaratananond, Jaden Michael and Riley Davis as the friends in the line of fire.
Expect a teen slasher running on a supernatural gimmick, pitched at viewers who treat a body count and a whodunit as the same puzzle. Past the premise, the cast and the people behind the camera, there is little on record so far. This page will fill out as the film reaches audiences.

A few thoughts on The Last Kiss
One Missed Call runs on the same engine: an ordinary teenage habit turns into a countdown, and the dread comes from knowing the order rather than the outcome. The Midnight Club is the slower companion, a group of teenagers telling each other scary stories with mortality sitting in the room. For the paperback version of this mood, Fear Street - The Overnight delivers R.L. Stine's friends-in-peril formula at its most efficient, and Clarity swaps the slasher for a teen psychic mystery where a gift nobody asked for drags its owner into a small-town investigation. Future Diary pushes the idea to its meanest extreme, handing a cast advance knowledge of their own fates and letting them fight over it.
Teen horror where the curse lands in the middle of high school
Laurel's curse arrives during the year she was hoping to spend on a crush, so The Last Kiss runs its horror through lockers, sleepovers and a friend group. These films and shows work the same way. The supernatural problem shows up at the worst possible age, and the teenager carrying it still has homework and parents who notice nothing.
Psychic visions that arrive as a curse
Mckenna Grace's Laurel reads someone's last hours off a single kiss, then gets almost no time to act on it. The visions in these picks behave the same way, as information nobody asked for. Each story hands a young lead a picture of what is coming and leaves them to decide who to warn and how much to say out loud.
Slashers where the suspect list is the friend group
The run of attacks in The Last Kiss targets Laurel's closest friends, which leaves her a suspect list about as long as her lunch table. These slashers share that shape. A small circle of teenagers, a campaign aimed at them and nobody else, and an answer someone in the group could have worked out sooner than they did.
Love stories where a kiss comes with a price
Laurel wants a first kiss and gets a curse attached to it. Romance carries a cost in every pick here too, paid in visions, in transformation or in blood. The script by Yoko Okumura with Krystal Houghton Ziv and Alon Ziv makes attraction the trigger for the horror, and these books, comics and shows strike the same bargain.
