Editorial Review - Amazon.com
The real truth about their mysterious adversary--a vampire--would "rip your mind's fragile hinges," the death's-head CEO of a secret society (Christopher Adamson) warns a human henchman. Your mind's fragile hinges have little to fear from this vampire-action-sexploitation hybrid. Director-writer-editor Jake West desperately tricks up his one-man opus in tech glam: sexpot Lilith Silver evolves from 19th-century vampire victim to modern-day hitwoman in black-and-white, color, freeze-frame, fast and slow motion, cartoon FX, overblown Freudian dreams. There are moments: in the James Bond-style credit sequence, Lilith's fanged mouth yawns wide, disgorging a veritable blizzard of razor blades. And in the black-and-white prelude, West's camera looks down on his voluptuous vampire, sprawled on a bed, the only color the scarlet drenching her dress, bloodying her mouth. But "artsy" razzle-dazzle can't distract from Razor Blade Smile's overall failure to arouse horror, lust, humor, or any other redeeming response. First-timer Eileen Daley makes Lilith so soignee and hip it hurts; her femme fatale's couture runs to multizippered, skintight black leather, shades, fur hats; the picture's completed by ebony mane, cheekbones to die for, and an extraordinarily mobile mouth with alarming overbite. Lilith kills time at a vampire/goth bar, shagging lesbian or stud, but what she really lives for are century-long power games played with the love of her life--er, death. This cynical horror flick punctures the very conventions that are the genre's lifeblood: encouraging egregious mugging and milking portentousness from every remark, Smile reduces the primal sex-death themes of authentic vampire fiction to kiss kiss/bang bang/bite bite. --Kathleen Murphy
The Avengers As Vampires
A Customer Review by Robert S. Robbins
This film seems to have been inspired by the old British TV series "The Avengers". Lilith Silver looks like Emma Peel and most of the story would have made a good episode for that show. A lot of the British slang is quite amusing and the witticisms are typically British. The film does not take itself seriously enough to be an effective horror movie. It is more of a crime drama that uses its vampire theme for laughs.
It'll be different NEXT time!!
A Customer Review by karma
"Razor Blade Smile" has a lot going for it, and a few that don't. It's a campy, fun bit of Vampire shenanigans, that's not afraid to poke a bit of fun at itself! Eileen Daly, the sultry, sexy Vamp star of this film, should be a draw for the guys in the audience. I first ran across this film by way of an article in the British "counter culture" magazine, "Bizarre". Eileen Daly was interviewed on her take of this film. I have to say that the film intrigued me enough to want to see it. It was tough going, as this film is difficult to locate outside of sites like Amazon.
I really can't go into the plot of this film, as there isn't much to talk about without giving the whole thing away. Let's just say that you won't see the finale coming!
The production values aren't the greatest, there is a lot of "snowy" scenes, but after all, this IS a "B" Action/Horror film. Don't let that sway you however. "Razor Blade Smile" will keep you entertained, but if it doesn't, chill out! you're taking this film, as well as yourself, too seriously! This is a fine addition to any Vampire Collection!
