Razor Blade Smile

Well, Razor Blade Smile obviously is a low budget horror/action flick. But seeing Eileen Daly as her alter ego Lilith Silver is something to tell your friends about. It won't be long before they knock on your door to see this cool white face with red lips and impressive fangs. Razor Blade Smile is a small production so don't expect mega-special effects by the ILM boys but some nice camera-angles, a few colouring filters in the right place and wildly edited actionscenes. The acting, though not very impressive sufficiently reflects the fun in making this movie. Don't take it too seriously, the actors don't so just enjoy 93 minutes of popcornfun. Razor Blade Smile is destined to be a cult-classic, amongst Vampiremovie-lovers it will raise a brow but that will be amply compensated by buckets full of blood. Cheers....

I mainly watched this because I had read an article about the female protagonist in an admittedly strange mag (Bizarre). My expectations were as low as they possibly could be so maybe that's why I enjoyed so much what I saw... The story's an entertaining and fresh go at an ever so well known theme (vampires) but what really makes this movie worth watching is a) the fact (?) that the entire cast really seems to have had great fun while doing this and b) that the visuals are just what they ought to be given that the makers didn't have a Hollywood budget. Amateurish at times, it is convincing enough for what it is - a cheap but fun vampire movie with lots of teeth, bites and blood. All I can say is that I great fun for an hour and a half. I wish I could say similar things about some lame but big budget movies like The Matrix or the like. Watch it and make up your own opinion. My bet is you won't regret it.

Yes, this film is silly. Yes the script is badly written, the plot far from convincing, the acting mediocre...etc. But as a silly film, this film is highly entertaining. It is one of the best bad films I've ever seen (I would place it on a level with Commando), and you can even take it to a higher level by interpreting parts of it as a parody on the goth-culture and on traditional serious modern-vampire films. I don't think this film is meant to be taken seriously, just consider all the cheesy one-liners and how the characters never step outside the sterotype. I pressured a group of very sceptic people to watch this movie with me and within a few minutes, these people, who had just been threatening never to let me decide on a film again, were laughing out loud. I would watch this film again, no doubt about that :-)

So, relax people, it's perfectly o.k. to enjoy silly things, it won't make you any less an intellectual!

Yes, the acting is broad (I think this is deliberate), and not all the characters act logically, but it was fun. Gorgeous women (I really can't judge as to the men in this film), blood and guts, sex and kink, interesting art direction, plot twists, and the good time enjoyed by the cast transmitted into my living room.

I have always thought that Bram Stoker was a shill for the "real" vampires, providing false information about their abilities, weaknesses, and what would be fatal to them. This movie gives a much better story for these things, although there are a few analogies to other movies and TV shows which shall here remain nameless. If/when I write a vampire or werewolf story this film will be an inspiration to me.

I love the locations, too, especially the manor for the beginning and ending, and the rock formations for the hostage resolution. And London, of course, is London.

Overall I enjoyed this; if you have a sense of irony you will too.

Just as you thought that Britain didn't have a small, low-budget movie industry left outside of student projects, Razorblade Smile makes it's appearance. This is not a good movie. Low production values (seems to have been shot on a handheld camcorder), very poor acting, especially by the lead, etc. However, if you like buxom women who also happen to be vampire assassins, it's worth a peek (she gets naked too).

I'd never seen Elain Daly before, but she looks good, is really well built (no silicone), gets naked, and there are some attractive, natural supporting women as well. It's supposed to be about the games vampires play when they have eternity on their hands. According to the IMDB's filmography, she has similar type movies to her credit, so you might want to check them out.

I could have done with some more graphic violence and bloodlust, though, but that may be because of the cut version I saw.
