Razor Blade Smile Details

A terminally trendy take on a tired theme, director Jake West's erotic popcorn vampire movie gives trash a bad name. Femme fatale Eileen Daly, whom you may recognise as the model from Redemption Video's box covers, is made immortal in 1850 after a visit from aristocratic vampire Christopher Adamson. In modern London, she becomes a leather cat-suit clad assassin with a coffin full of weapons in her bedroom — and with the police and a sinister sect on her trail the scene is set for blood, blades and bullets. Derivative, not even unintentionally funny, and technically inept — some scenes look like they were filmed on a camcorder — West serves up a mass of reheated clichés with little rhyme or reason. And although Daly looks good in her fetish outfits, she's clearly no actress.
