Description

Tired of the usual tame, bloodless vampire movie? Well, this darkly satiric film pumps new blood into the genre. Set in the swinging Gothic scene of 1990s London, Razor Blade Smile starts in 1850, when headstrong, beautiful and bisexual Lilith Silver (Eileen Daly) was still traditionally "alive." During a pistol duel involving her lover and the sinister Sir Sethane Blake, Lilith produces her own pistol and shoots Blake herself. But Sir Sethane is no mere mortal. After he bestows the dark gift of the vampire upon her, all eternity becomes Lilith’s playground. Now, 150 years later, she is the most outrageous, most latex-laden and most seductive woman you’ll ever meet – the ultimate guillotine maiden, with her own lascivious style. Armed with a coffin full of weapons, she’s a contract killer hired to eliminate all members of the mysterious and evil Masonic "illuminati" sect. This sizzling assassin out for blood can out-fight Emma Peel, out-dress Catwoman and bust Barbarella’s curves, all while eluding the police, who are desperate to discover her identity and end the carnage. Although our heroine ends up with a fellow, this super stylish, over-the-top vampire romp will leave you screaming for more.
