It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I got this for 2 dollars and it included a computer video game with it. I should have just played the video game and rested my Triple gulp on the movie disc.Yes it is kind of my fault. You see whenever you combine a video game plot with director Uwe Boll you are asking for it. This movie delivers.A bloodletting of all senses and reason. I will start with one point that should offend any movie fan anywhere. This movie contains Ben Kingsley and Meatloaf . Oh I wish Kingsley's vampire character had feasted on a loaf of tar tare , but no I meant the "singer".Of course the "plot" is laughable. A sort of Angel meets Days of our lives. Also not that original . Yes , moody Troubled disaffected vamp broods about the unfairness of it all and the evil it is. I have to admit Kristanna Lokken looks better to me than David Boreanaz. Beyond that statement lies a compliment to Leelee Sobieski for simply knowing better. The rest of the cast is either half heart-ed or asleep at the frame. Who can blame them.I should give Billy Zane credit as the one who came off best , but I like him and don't want to insult his career by ever suggesting this turn is resume worthy.What did I expect? Boll movies have a reputation for being what they are. None the less a review was deserved.

I don't like anything related to vampires, but this film caught my attention and was a pleasant watch for me. The main heroine is not a vampire: she is a dhampir - a half-human and half-vampire. She hates vampires and is on a human side. Still she has something vapmires have. The movie has many interesting action scenes and some intriguing plot turns. It is also a pleasure to see a cast of famous and great actors. The ending holds viewer in tension and the last scene is memorable. After the fight is over the last shot is very beautiful!

I want to strike a blow for a movie that seems to be one of the worst movies, when you follow the ratings and verdicts here. But it's easy here to rate one star without watching a movie, and also without giving one thought to.Of course it isn't an artwork, a masterwork, or comparable to high budget productions a la Lord Of The Rings. Instead, it fits right into a solid line of straight-to-video productions, or some bigger TV Adventure movies, but is definitively enjoyable for people who don't expect a lifetime experience from Uwe Boll. But at least, one have to respect the genre outside the Tolkien realm. If not, the movie has no chance at all.It is a simple story about a girl that wants revenge for the killing of her mother by her father, who is the most powerful Vampire, and also wants to be ruler of the world. Kristanna Loken as Rayne does a good Job being sexy, powerful and filled with hate and blood hunger. The others are OK, and Ben Kingsley does keep a low profile, because he has not very much to do except being old Ben Kingsley. Directing is not great, I admit that, it is at max, zealous. Definitevly it is better than in any of the infamous Asylum Movies i've seen, in terms of storytelling, actors leading and so on. The only one bigger mistake is that the short history of Raynes romance with Sebastian is revealed at the end of the movie, so that the short sex scene with him looks quite unfounded.If there wouldn't be so much blood and gore, it could pass as a movie for youngsters. I remember watching such movies (of course without gore and without nudity), when I was ten or twelve.

This is a movie that you can either enjoy or hate (or both!), but in a nutshell it is the combination of terrible direction, mediocre script and a surprisingly good cast. Some scenes can make you laugh (despite the intention of the filmmaker), other shots are good, aerial ones for example. Others are a joke. Acting can go from decent to terrible. There is something that keeps me wondering and that is having people like Kingsley and Chaplin here. I think it is perfect for a group of young men, an afternoon with friends, having bowls of popcorn, screaming and laughing, if only to see Kristanna as Bloodrayne (there is also some -most welcomed- nudity). Still wondering what Ben Kingsley is doing here, maybe paying some bills? yeah, we all need to work for a living.
