BA_Harrison Eileen Daly, as Razor Blade Smile's sexy vampire assassin Lilith Silver, sure looks the part: she has long black hair, pale white skin, blood red lips, a butt you could bounce £2 coins off, and cheekbones that are almost as impressive as her cleavage (and boy, is that impressive!). The problem is, whilst she might look like a Gothboy's wet dream, all clad in figure-hugging rubber and sporting a massive pair of fangs, as an actress, she sucks more than her character does (and Lilith does a LOT of sucking!!!).Still, she's in good company: pretty much everyone else in this low-budget horror romp is dreadful as well. Writer/director Jake West clearly isn't concerned too much about decent performances, instead hoping that his deliberately cliché-ridden action sequences, iffy script (replete with camp dialogue and intentionally dreadful one-liners), steamy soft-core sex scenes, and use of cheap gore effects will find help find his feature length debut an audience amongst those who love their films trashy and bloody.Unfortunately, the film just isn't as much fun as West wishes it was: the over-theatricality of the performances, the hip MTV-style editing, the poorly choreographed fights, and the lame humour all become very irritating, very quickly; the gore just isn't outrageous enough; and the script meanders aimlessly until eventually revealing a particularly lame twist ending.On a more positive note, West does display flair with some of his visuals: his opening credits sequence is a stylish take on Maurice Binder's famous Bond titles; his use of the camera is often innovative, with brave use of unusual angles and movement, and sparing use of reasonable CGI; and the guy sure knows how to make the most of his striking star, giving viewers plenty of chances to ogle her shapely body.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.
Peerlessfan Well I have seen about every vampire movie out there, and some are awful to others but I always enjoy them. This one was really a fun surprise, and way better than I expected, like The Breed was to me. The VHS box made it seem like a T&A film, but it was much more than that, and I really liked the acting of Christopher Adamson especially, but all were convincing and enjoyable. Jonathan Coote was admirable in his role as the police detective, and the femme fatale was never better than Eileen Daly. The cameo of the late David Warbeck was awesome, what a cool cat. He will be missed. Christopher Adamson was creepy and cool, and was a great choice for the older vampire lead. I want to see him in more stuff. I would have a hard time defending this movie to those who would pick it apart, but it was entertaining for my 2 hours of viewing, and I was well satisfied by the writing and directing. If you like vampire movies, as I do, you'll love it, just don't expect everyone you know to love it too. It's our guilty pleasure.
HellLeather3518 Yes ! That's what the available funding for this movie was.The production team begged and borrowed the extra stuff needed to complete.Fortunately MANGA stepped in to help fund post production.So for the princely sum that a female pop star would spend on knickers for the year what do we get? Probably the best "indie" Horror movie that Britain has produced in the last 20 years.Granted some of the special effects were a bit basic,but no more so than a Jean Rolin or even a Hammer offering.Eileen Daly and Christopher Adamson are totally the right people for the lead roles and completely believable.Daly's character Lilith Silver does however have a forced or laboured Fanella Fielding voice that seems a little wrong,however it is more appropriate to a 19th century Lady than Miss Daly's normal Chelsea girl sound (that's a complete Air Head for the Yanks).However without a doubt she plays one of the best Vampires there has ever been.Next to Christopher Adamson he really puts the Teeth in vampire.The film starts off in the 19th century being narrated by Lilith who explains we know f**k all about vampires.The film then through an excellent story (more credit to Jake West) charts her life into modern times,no pausing along the way for either war or historic events.Just a straight blend (after her first kill) into the modern age and her hit-woman and night clubbing "goth" life style.Giving an insight into what a vampire really is.Whilst out witting the law. Blood/Sex and Violence there's plenty of it but for some reason it doesn't seem to be as over done as the high budget films. What you do get is a brilliant,well written story with a new slant on the vampire life that Anne Rice would have been proud to have penned.Complete with a nice little twist ending.Making it unlike anything you'll have seen before.
Cemetarygirl I love this movie and the whole new angle on Vampires. Eileen is great as Lilith Silver and I am sure no one else could have played her with such style. Her costuming was superb and she was certainly dressed to kill. The detective was suitably annoying and got my goat extremely well. I enjoyed the ambiance and the locations. Transilvania would be a great place to visit. I felt that even the bit players where chosen well. The script was lively and fun with a few interesting one liners to remember and use at parties. Especially the 'all the time in the world.." line (which I use often). This is a movie that one can watch over and over again without getting tired of it. Each time finding some nuance missed the time before. I always recommend this movie to anyone who will listen. My reason for giving it a 10/10 is that it is pure Vampiric entertainment and Eileen the Dark Star.
