Two features. In UNDERWORLD, a dark and Gothic monster action movie, vampires and lycans (an ancient form of werewolf) are at war. While the vampires inhabit a gigantic castle that...

Both teams are equipped with big guns and are constantly innovating deadlier bullets to gain advantage over each other. On the vampire side, the leather-clad death agent Selene (Kate Beckinsale), delegates teams of vampires to attack the lycans, but when she discovers that the lycans have kidnapped a human medical student, Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman), she knows the worst is on its way. Against the orders of her superior, Kraven (Shane Brolly), who is obsessively in love with Selene, she awakens the most powerful vampire of all time, Viktor (Bill Nighy), and prepares for a massive feud against lycan leader, Lucian (Michael Sheen). Director Len Wiseman offers a tough, fast and gory addition to the horror-fantasy genre with UNDERWORLD. Impressive special effects show the lycans transforming from humans to werewolves, and their ability to squeeze silver bullets out of their skin is also rudely fascinating. Beckinsale is captivating in the role of the lead vamp, with her leather corset, red lips and double-fisted pistols perfectly communicating the glam-action mood of the film. Also included in the box set is the sequel to UNDERWORLD, UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION.

...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 ... Read review
