So bad it's good,
By
This review is from: Razor Blade Smile [1998] [DVD] (DVD)
I never really understood the term 'so bad its good', until I saw this, because the acting is terrible, the effects are cheap and the story is over the top, but its very tongue-in-cheek which forgives the low buget, and you can tell that Jake West is really into these sort of films, the music is really good, and quite honestly, its really good fun. I really enjoyed watching it, if you are a goth who loves making fun of yourself and goth culture, then this is worth watching, i loved it.

If gothic birds in leather etc , vampires,blood & gore are your "bag", check this out! British filmaking hasn`t looked this good in years.
Be warned tho...the plot hooks you well & good , but then dumps you with the worst ending "since those that lived happily ever after". At the right price, this is a good vampire film...just excuse the end. thewizardfromaus

There are films out there that are so bad they become good. You can have a few friends over, stick the DVD in and have a laugh. Razor Blade Smile has this quality for about 15 minutes. Then it reaches the point of being so bad it's painful.
The film tells the story of a sexy vampire. We know she's sexy because she wears a rubber cat suit which shows a healthy dose of cleavage. Subtle. We know she's a vampire because she quite frequently unveils her teeth and hisses. I lost count of how many times she hissed in the film but we counted 12 hisses in the final 3 minutes. That's a lot of hisses, which is great as hissing is underrepresented in films. The vampiric teeth are for some reason (probably health and safety) blunt and rounded. When the poor actress has these in she seems to find it difficult to close her mouth so will often walk around with her mouth gaping open or in a sort of "Oooo" look. Oh look, I said "poor actress". Yes. This could have more than one meaning. Eileen Daly who plays the lead in this film is... well. She's not very good. She seems to be constantly talking in a forced whisper and really doesn't seem to feel comfortable in the role. Her previous acting credits include Striptacular and my personal favourite, Electric Blue: Suburban Wives 8. Ultimately it all feels like an adult movie. But one where all the interesting bits have been removed. You're constantly expecting people to tear each other's clothes off but aside from two rather awkward sex scenes it never materialises. None of the other actors come across much better than the lead. It's a rag tag mix of amateur dramatics and people who've played "Shoplifter 2" in the Bill. The actor who plays the medical examiner at the first crime scene seems to be struggling to remember his lines and then for no apparent reasons begins to whisper. He also reveals his nickname amongst the Police officers is... I kid you not... "The Horror Movie Man". Catchy. To mix things up a bit most of the henchmen seem to be played by local bouncers who seem to be drunk or drugged. There's one fella at the beginning and none of us could understand what he was saying, though I think it was rather colourful. I've gone on a bit now. But I'll just quickly mention the script. Terrible. We're told that we know "F*** all about vampires" in a really awkward voice over. Please don't bother with this film. It feels like it's been written by a 15 year old boy who wanted to see someone running around with a lot of cleavage on display and dropping the occasional F-word to make it seem adult. I came away from this feeling slightly embarrassed for everyone involved. There are much better low budget vampire films out there. Try all of them. But not this.
