The best vampire movie ever made

Rating: Null/10 (12 September 2004)

I don't understand the negative comments on this movie either. It holds my interest from the very beginning to the very end. It sets itself up for a sequel at the time when Markus awakens. It's sad to think if this movie was so poorly received, there might never be a sequel.
Kate is gorgeous and sexy, and when she hops off the top of the building in the opening moments watch for that cute little twitch she gives as she strides away.
Viktor is both loving of Selene (Kate) and terrifying. His eyes say it all.
The Vampires in the mansion are all beautiful people, dressed to the hilt. The women are just stunning.
And Erika is as interesting to watch as Kate.
Kraven (Brollen) plays his part very well, and the look on his face when Kate palms him hard in the nose. Yeah!
The story answers a question I've wondered about since watching Wolfman and Dracula black and white movies when I was a kid. Where did they originate? Underworld is based on the premise that they're from a common ancestor. That makes sense to me, seeing as how we're dealing with imaginary creatures anyway. Makes more sense than Superman flying because he can jump so well (that was what the comic book answer was.)
In many ways, I like this movie every bit as much as the Vampire Chronicles.
