prolific blend of horror and action in blue tint

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2004)

Sure, in a sense Underworld is a bit of a ripoff of Blade however it is that kind of ripoff that makes this appealing. The movie is mostly in a blue color to fit the dark mood of the film about the war between the Lycans/Werewolves and Vampires. *sp* The movie itself had some really good special effects, particularly the part when one of the head vampires is awaken - some of this part is blatantly ripped from Blade 1 *sp*.
The human character caught in the middle of the war when he's attacked by a lycan is the one that stands out the most in this whole movie. Basically he goes through three phases in the film w/ the third phase leaving goldmines for the next in this series.
Yeah, it's action blended w/ horror and its own folklore of the two "species" which holds its own foundation and does so in good fashion
8/10
