I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
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.
Lilith Silver(Eileen Daly, fetching in the lurid, sexy role)is so overcome with boredom she takes on the role of hit-woman-for-hire, labeled by the media and police as the "angel of death." She murders certain chosen subjects who are part of an ancient secret sect known as The Lost People, or the Illuminati..they wear a seven-pointed-star necklace and eyeball ring. Lilith is told that it is imperative to collect the eyeball rings from her victims as part of her finishing the kill by her source(..and lover), Platinum(Kevin Howarth). The Illuminati's leader, Sethane Blake(Christopher Adamson), is the one responsible for turning Lilith into a vampire centuries previous. The Illuminati are a powerful group with many of their members deeply en-routed in the fabric of London such as the government and police. Inspector Price(Jonathan Coote), of the Scotland Yard, is part of the group but doesn't understand that his leader is indeed a vampire such as the one murdering those of the case he has been investigating. Price will take it upon himself to hunt down Lilith as a modern-day Van Helsing wannabee, but has no clue that those myths such as crosses and stakes have no effect on vampires whatsoever(well, the stake can make you bleed, but isn't a major factor as in myth regarding it stabbing you in the heart with instantaneous death). What we do understand, through Lilith's narration is that decapitation and major blood-loss are what do the trick in killing their species. With the group hiring Lilith wanting their stash back because of her failure to retrieve the eyeball ring of a recent victim, Platinum's life will be in grave danger. Lilith cares for him and will risk her life in order to save his. It all leads to a confrontation between Lilith and Sethane as expected.Clad in tight leather with an ax to grind, Daly is quite easy to watch just by her sheer sex appeal alone. There's an overall Gothic tone, with lots of heavy breathing, hissing, and an abundance of theatricality. The film is a low-budget affair which took director Jake West 3 years to complete with the cinematography mostly shot on 16 mm film stock which actually gives it a grimy, grungy kind of appeal that works. West uses an assortment of framed shots assaulting the viewer with his camera calisthenics. The cast is lively, especially Adamson as the animated villain who loves to stretch out his dialogue with a sort-of hammy delivery and Coote as the rather uninformed, constantly-duped inspector make for an entertaining diversion from the usual vampire norm. Full of blood and feeding with Daly just relishing the role of vampire with the camera just embracing her figure and how it fits in the suit she wears on duty. Very British with an amusing ending.
"You know f*** all about vampires" The opening dialog totally describes this movie. The star is trying to tell the audience about vampires, but she should have told this to the writers, director and producer of this film (and everyone else who had anything to do with this movie). Absolutely the worst film I have ever even heard of. It appears to have been shot with a home video camera. The acting is substandard and the plot is totally ridiculous. The only positive feature is the concept of the movie. Avoid at all costs. Do not watch just to see if it is worth it. It is not. this movie is a disgrace to all movies ever made in england, or the known world, for that matter.
I love this movie and the whole new angle on Vampires. Eileen is great as Lilith Silver and I am sure no one else could have played her with such style. Her costuming was superb and she was certainly dressed to kill. The detective was suitably annoying and got my goat extremely well. I enjoyed the ambiance and the locations. Transilvania would be a great place to visit. I felt that even the bit players where chosen well. The script was lively and fun with a few interesting one liners to remember and use at parties. Especially the 'all the time in the world.." line (which I use often). This is a movie that one can watch over and over again without getting tired of it. Each time finding some nuance missed the time before. I always recommend this movie to anyone who will listen. My reason for giving it a 10/10 is that it is pure Vampiric entertainment and Eileen the Dark Star.
