I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
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.
Sultry and willful Lilith Silver (marvelously played by with great saucy verve by the delectable Eileen Daily) gets turned into a vampire in 1850. Lilith becomes a lethal and seductive freelance hired assassin in order to alleviate the tedium of endless immortality. Lilith finds herself in substantial trouble when she begins bumping off members of the powerful underground sect the Illuminati. Ruthless Illuminati leader Sir Sethane Blake (a deliciously wicked portrayal by Christopher Adamson) kidnaps Lilith's lover and employer Platinum (hunky Kevin Howarth). Meanwhile, dogged Scotland Yard Inspector Ray Price (nicely essayed by Jonathan Coote) tries to track down and nab Lilith. Writer/director Jake West turns standard fright feature bloodsucker conventions completely on their ear with this wickedly witty, lively and stylish outing. Moreover, West shows a tremendous flair and skill for snappy editing, striking visuals (the CGI effects are remarkably good), and stirring action scenes. Better yet, West further spices things up with lots of tasty nudity, splashy gore, steamy soft-core sex, and a very British sense of bone-dry sardonic gallows humor (the surprise blackly comic twist ending is a total hoot!). David Warbeck has a nifty small part as a droll coroner called "The Horror Movie Man." James Solan's extremely raw and dynamic cinematography gives the picture an effectively gritty look while the rousing ooga-booga score by Richard Wells likewise does the trick. With her gorgeously voluptuous full figure, long, lustrous dark hair, skintight leather catsuit, and winningly brassy'n'sassy attitude, Daily makes a strong impression as a mega-hot Goth goddess to be reckoned with. A highly entertaining romp.
zooks! How could anyone NOT like this? This is one of my favorite vampyre movies ever and, in my opinion, probably influenced the makers of the video game Bloodrayne... as was said in the earlier review, the lesbian scene is great, and just the whole lighting and tone of this film is surreal and very beautiful. The ending is a real shocker (which I shan't give away) and I just really recommend giving this movie a try. Sure, there IS a cheese factor (let's face it- is there such thing as a vampyre movie that doesn't have a bit of one?) and you can definitely see how fake the fangs are, but I thought this film was great! Try it & see!
Bad, bad, bad movie. shame on you. If there are real vampires, run, they want payback. If you are thinking about watching this dreck, please reconsider, if only for the children. Everytime this movie is watched terrible things eat the wings off angels.I may seem to be rambling, it is the result of the movie.I watched it, ran to the bathroom, got sick from the bad acting, then came here to post my views. So if one person doesn't decide to watch this crap then my pain was not in vain. Please pardon the pun. I would say more but this movie has driven me mad. I'm going to jump.
