A horror movie with bite

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2003)

It's been too long since a good horror movie has come out. Underworld isn't the greatest, but it does a fine job of creating a dark world full of mystery and action. At time the plot threads are a little tangled, but I think that adds to the overall immersion in the vampire/werewolf world.
My two main gripes were the werewolves when they ran on the walls and ceilings. Supernatural or not, it looked stupid. And the final scene death scene of Victor, specifically the delayed action decapitation is a total copy of the Kurgan's death in Highlander.
Oh one last gripe. Michael's super powerful were-vamp transformation was also a big let down. My imagination had some combination of Giger's alien integrated with bat and human features.
Overall though, the best classic horror genre flick since Brotherhood of the Wolf and Gingersnaps.
