Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Just as the whole cast and crew knows f*** all about film making.This film concerns the adventures and predicaments of a modern day cockney vampire assassin, and an age old spat with her seemingly jaded vampire lover. That plot in itself reeks of clichés and promises of boredom when on as small a scale a film as this, and that's exactly what you get.First off let me say that I by no means dismiss films because they are B movies, in fact some of my favourite films are B movies such as Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter, but this one misses the mark by a mile.Anyone with any knowledge of small budget films will know that the acting is rarely gripping and emotional, but Razor Blade Smile creates a whole new dimension of hamming it up on screen. Some of the so called acting is just indescribably bad, with characters spewing cheesy one liners that fall flat, and discourse expressing about as much emotion and conviction as the terminator after a couple of horse tranquillisers.A vast portion of the film is also taken up by the vampiric characters, the protagonist in particular, unnecessarily flapping their mouths, showing off their ridiculously large vampire teeth and exhaling very loudly. It literally must happen in almost every scene at least once, and quickly became annoying and pointless, as if that many looks of slack jawed supposedly scary vampire faces were used to merely fill a little bit of time and pad out the rest of this turd sandwich of a film.Contrary to what some of the other reviewers believe on here, I feel this film (the director in particular) is really trying to take this film seriously in many parts. The sheer number of overly dramatic action shots and extreme close-ups seems to indicate to me that the director really wanted people to feel this film and make it legitimate to its genre and not spoof it, and he fails miserably. The attempts at supposedly tasteful sex scenes come out as comic and silly and the action sequences are sometimes just plain stupid.Also the ending of this film was one of the weakest and most pathetic conclusions I have seen to a film, B movie or not. When films such as this force you to sit through hours of themselves only to be rewarded with a "oh it was all a game" ending it is actually sickening. It the conclusion to the "plot" feels like an afterthought of the director that he figured out on the last day of shooting because they had run to the end of their shoestring budget.But I have not rated this film as one star despite the overwhelming crappiness, and this is because of the only plus point I can really give this film. Intentionally or not, it was funny. I am fairly sure the parts I found humorous were not intended to be, and I found most of the efforts at genuine gags to be fruitless, but when watched with friends it is a good film to take the mickey out of.
This is a very cheap movie, the actors are never going to make movie stars, but this is normal for this genre. Fortunately it has a good story,and Elieen Daly looks very sexy, the montage is good and it has some nice shots.It is different to see England make this kind of movie, which are normally made in the USA, so it looks different to usual modern vampire movies.I have not seen any other film from Jake West but I will be interested to see what happen when he has more money.I gave this 6/10 and think it is a good movie for if you like sexy vampires and can see passed the limits of the money.
after watching another of Jake wests entertaining movies i had been considering this film for a while. I have to say i was a little disappointed, firstly i felt there was a general rushed feel to the movie not the usual quality i would have associated with a Manga live presentation. As not to say this was unbearable i did find myself wandering off towards the end, not a strong grip to hold you watching, you may find this a problem if like myself your mind wanders easily. the overall quality is good general action scenes are well timed, but as stated in another review i read the fangs are all a little shoddy. pros = an interesting take on a saturated market of vampire movies that doesn't lend its self to the typical stereotypes. cons = a big two fingers up to the classic tried and tested vampire genre, a little to goth is good with all the leather and PVC and some unnecessary sex scenes.But watch it especially on a Friday night with a few brews don't take it seriously and take it for what it is.If the sequel is in the pipeline lets hope it grows up a little
This movie rocks hard. It also shows a bundle of enthusiasm, a great-looking cast and a half decent script can give oodles more entertainment than your average blockbuster.Rather than just re-review the film, I'd rather just wave the flag for British low-budget autors like West and Alex Chandon who are making this stuff happen, budget or not. British cinema is infested with an 'in crowd', which is why dire slop like Long Time Dead gets shot on film and Razorblade smile doesn't.This movie was made half a decade ago for £20k. The reality is, this movie could have been made for much less today as the price of equipment falls and today's consumer camera becomes last year's semi-pro model. Tools like Final Cut Pro and Affer Effects, used within their limitations, can produce video that no longer scream '80s pop Video'. What's more, the DVD format gets around the problem of films having no public outlet if they're not a blockbuster or an agreed arthouse masterpiece.
