The story begins in 1850, when
Lilith Silver (
Eileen Daley) interrupts a duel between her lover and the nasty
Sir Sethane Blake (
Christopher Adamson). When she shoots
Blake, he just smiles, and punishes her impudence by biting her on the neck when she is shot in turn by his manservant. After a nifty title sequence, the film flashes forward 150 years to watch
Silver in modern London, where she hangs out at glitzy vampire bars and works as a mercenary.
Lilith's biggest job involves hunting down members of the Illuminati, a sect of freemasons bent on world domination. Their ruler, not coincidentally, is
Sir Sethane Blake. Clad in skintight black leather and armed with a coffin full of guns, knives, and throwing-stars, the blood-sucking hit woman uses her supernatural abilities to hunt down her targets and avoid police, at least until
Inspector Price (
Jonathan Coote) and a forensic scientist nicknamed "
the Horror Film Man" (
David Warbeck) get on her trail. Visually dazzling and loaded with sex, blood, and macabre humor,
Razor Blade Smile uses an array of cinematic techniques to achieve the slick look of a glossy comic book, reminiscent of many Asian efforts in the genre, and quite unlike anything to come out of Britain in recent memory.
