Film: Underworld (2003)

DVD: Anamorphic
Underworld (Widescreen Special Edition)

"The chain has never been broken, not once, not in fourteen centuries, not since we elders first began to leapfrog through time - one awake, two asleep - that's the way of it. It is Marcus' time to reign, not mine!"
"But I had no choice, the coven is in danger and Michael is the key..."
"Ah, yes... the lycan."

Review: This is a good film about a centuries-old war between vampires and werewolves. Selene is a Vampire Death Dealer who falls in love with a man who becomes a werewolf. The concept of viruses transmitted through the blood being behind the creation of the immortals makes a good plot line. Good use of practical effects & cool weapons.

"We were slaves once. The daylight guardians of the vampires. I was born into servitude. Yet I harbored them no ill will. Even took a vampire for my bride. It was forbidden, our union. Viktor feared a blending of the species. Feared it so much he killed her. His own daughter. Burnt alive for loving me."

4 out of 5 Stars
