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.

I remember I desperately wanted to see this one, right after I so much enjoyed Jake West's second film "Evil Aliens" (an insane sci-fi/horror/splatter-fest). This being said, I can say right away that "Razor Blade Smile" isn't that good nor as entertaining. Not by a long shot. But it's got its heart at the right place. We've got sensual vampire chicks in latex outfits. Some soft-core porn flashes. Some lesbian sex. A lot of blood. A few violent shoot-outs. And a few cheap decapitations (and then some...). Jake West just laughs with all the vampire clichés, to such an extend that all we know about them, isn't true at all. I must say that Eileen Daly does a pretty good acting job as Lilith Silver, the sexy bounty hunter/vampire. Her constant off-screen commentary often provides some welcome comic relief, and makes you not take this movie too seriously at all. Sadly, the story isn't up to much, and the conclusion at the end, to me, was a bit disappointing. Also, the sword-fights at the end were even more poorly staged and edited than the ones in Uwe Boll's "Bloodrayne". But then again, "Razor Blade Smile" is a low-budget flick, so it fits the movie. If you decide to watch it, then make sure you keep watching until the end-credits are finished...

Given its obvious low budget, this really isn't bad at all. Some of the acting is a little off key, I saw far too many close-ups of very average plastic fangs and I'd have cut this down to at most 90 minutes. Having said all that though, Eileen Daly is most effective as the leading lady and looks great throughout. The fetish inspired costumes are a treat and probably took up most of that meagre budget. The humour doesn't always work and the simple storyline doesn't help keep one's attention, but this is filmed with considerable style and the very big plus is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not a great film or even a particularly good horror flick but it made me smile now and again and had the lovely Eileen, mostly in but now and again partly out of her stunning costumes. It also delights in its gory sessions and almost convinces in its notion of dying of pleasure.

I was all ready to hate this but it turned out to be surprisingly tolerable - though the MTV-style of film-making (shot on DV, to boot) is quite an eye-sore! I liked the script's self-mocking style, as well as its central idea of having the female vampire lead doubling as a contract killer. As to the cast, Eileen Daly (best known as the 'star' of those horrid "Redemption" intros) has an undeniable screen presence - and is quite sensual, despite her age; however, Christopher Adamson's hammy chief villain is obnoxious. David Warbeck has a brief role as a doctor (dubbed "The Horror-Movie Man"!) who conducts the autopsy on one of the vampire's victims; the film seems to have taken quite a long time to shoot as Warbeck died in 1997! There's plenty of nudity and violence on hand, but not much sense alas (especially since its subplot involving a secret society of vampires infiltrating the power structures is barely developed); the film is also overlong for its purpose, and eventually slips into tedium during the last half-hour.
