As the story unfolds you will lean that, In the underworld,vampires are a secret clan of modern aritocrtic sophisticates whose mortal enemies are werewolves called 'Lycan'.,street thugs prowling the city, no one know the origin of their bitter blood feud,when the beautiful vampire warrior Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and the man with the mysterous blood line fall in love.
starting Selene tells the story of what happen long ago,then there is a shoutout in the south terminus, a man is being hunted by the lycans,Selenepicksup a bullet after the lycan have retreated,and takes it back to the castle to find out what it is.On her way back to the castle she over hears the lycan in their cave in the under part of the streets.When Selene gets back to the castle she gives the bullet to some one to look at it only to find out that it is very deadly to vampires.she then finds out who the human is Micheal Colvin (Scott Speedman).
Selene goes out to find this Micheal at his apartment,Selene tells Micheal what going on and ask him why do the lycan want him, he reply with i dont know,he was bitten by a lycan.Lucian but Selene does not know it Lucian jush yet.
While Selene reads a book on vampires history, she reads about Lucian.(Micheal Sheen) Selene awakes Viktor (Bill Nighy) ahead of his time,and form her mind and a mirror tells Viktor whats going on,as Victor awakes and as he is being filled with blood he calls Selene in the tomb to take "you must be judged" ( she in a world of s***.)
They now find out that the blood of Micheal Colvin can make them both lycan and vampire,Voktor has flash backs of have to kill his own child for loving Lucian,
Micheal Colvin now has both bloods,and this is the last thing i will tell you, you have to whatch it for yourself it is a great movie.
AS Micheal Colvin changes out of human form, Viktor tells Selene why he had to do what he had done,his child was going to bare a child of Lucian so he put a end to it by burning her alive, Viktor and Micheal Colvin fight it out,as well as Selene aand Viktor and that all i can tell you, to find out who gets killed and who, killed him this is a must watch..

for the death of her parents. She finds out that they are taking humans and look as if they are planning a huge attack on the Vampires.
The Vampire high council don't believe her, they still believe that the main werewolf leader Lucian is dead and that the number of Lycans around is small. How wrong could they be....
The movie now moves on to Selene finding a human they are after and taking him to the headquarters and finding out what they want with him!
Little doe's she know the real truth behind everything that is going on! The current leader of the Vampires is a traitor! He has other plans and something Selene does not know about until it's to late.

of both strains in his body. I liked this film and the second one (underworld evolution) even better but you have to watch the first one to understand the story. The only problems with the film is there are none in my eyes. ...
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 houses their ancestor's tombs, the lycans live underground in a dilapidated sewer cave. Both teams are equipped with big guns, and they 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 vamps 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 the lycans' 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, pouty expressions, and double-fisted pistols perfectly communicating the glam-action mood of the film.
