Not as terrifying as the cover claims
Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything
...to say, when I saw the advert for this film I thought it was going to be a quite scary psychological horror film. I took it out from the library along with Final Destination 3 and watched them a few days after we took them out. I have to say that it's a good thing that my mum and I watched FD3 first because this film was so disappointing.
There really isn't much of a storyline to this film. I know it is based on a true story so they have to keep ...
...Liv Tyler's character didn't except the offer to get engaged. Why? It never shows you what happened so you don't know. It doesn't explain why the killers come to their house or anything, there just isn't any story. It's just boring. You have the stereotypical bits where you jump because a character appears out of nowhere, but that is the only thrill you feel in this whole film. It's just the couple running around the house, attempting to leave and ...

Not just another vampire movie...
Advantages: Action-packed... never a dull moment.
Disadvantages: Complex areas... a bit of confusion.
For those who are unaware, Underworld Evolution is the sequel to Underworld. The story picks up right where the first UNDERWORLD left off, in the midst of a war between werewolves and vampires.
Hunted vampire Selene (Kate Beckinsale) seeks out Marcus (Tony Curran), king of the vampires, in the hope of bargaining for her life. Her lover, Michael (half werewolf half vampire) played by Scott Speedman wants to join Selene in her quest but is unable ...
...but that is neither here nor there because she doesn't want his assistance anyways. In her quest, Selene discovers that she has been betrayed by her own family and she sets out to seek her revenge.
The film leaps back three centuries earlier, revealing the separation of two evil brothers, one vampire and one werewolf. This serves to help the audience understand why, in the present, the vampire brother Marcus (Tony Curran) is determined to find his ...

Dracula Versus Wolfman? Look no further
Advantages: Both films in one
Disadvantages: None as far as i am concerned
...Well, as far as underworld was concerned, the vampires would win with their hands tied behind their back, blindfolded and having been bled half to death.
Underworld shows the ultimate battle between the Vampires and the Lycan; Werewolves who can choose to turn into their wolf forms at will. The battle has been fought for centuries, the Vampires residing in an old mansion house, the Lycans choosing to stay in the sewers and underground. Underworld ...
