Underworld Series Goes for the Prequel

Ever since George Lucas went for a Star Wars prequel trilogy, others have followed suit. Now, there are lots of prequel movies and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is no exception. It just tells the story of how the vampires and werewolves of the previous movies came to be enemies.

Of course, this prequel also tells the story of an unlikely couple on opposite sides of the fence and they make the war a bit more interesting. This movie stars Rhona Mitra (former Lara Croft image model) as a warrior vampire who falls in love with Lycan leader, Lucian.

As before, the viewer is treated to dark, somber, blue-hued scenes played in decaying settings (which kind of makes you wonder sometimes what's taking place in a scene). Who could ask for anything less?

Rise: Blood Hunter Hopes to Get a Rise from Viewers

Lucy Liu is Sadie, a reporter who becomes the victim of a malicious vampire after she gets involved in the world of the undead bloodsuckers as they molest victims then suck them dry of their blood. She becomes one herself and then hunts down the vampire who was responsible. Unable to resist the lust for blood, she becomes a supernatural killer herself who prays on innocent victims, the one thing that she would want eradicated from the world.

Rise: Blood Hunter was made in just a month on a shoestring budget. Still, vampire fans are expected to flock to theaters for this film. If you like blood, then this movie is it. Be warned. It is violent, sexual, and has such gory and bloody scenes that will leave even jaded vampires ready to throw up their insides. It is definitely not for kids or the the faint of heart or those with high blood pressure. If you don't want a rise, don't watch this movie. By the way, it also stars Michael Chiklis of The Shield and The Fantastic Four, whose character, on a personal mission to avenge the death of his daughter, helps Sadie get her revenge.

Vampires Migrate to Alaska

After the blockbuster 300 Spartan movie comes 30 Days of Night from producer Sam Raimi. But don't be fooled by the similarity of the posters. Unlike 300, which is about Persians invading Sparta, this one is about vampires invading Alaska to take advantage of the longer nights. It seems natural that vampires would do this if they really do exist, right? The cold wouldn't be a problem for them since they're already cold-blooded. But why Alaska? Why not Siberia or Greenland? And what do they do during the time of year when the days are long?

Will Smith is the Last Man on Earth in I Am Legend

Will Smith stars in I Am Legend as Robert Neville, the last man on Earth. So what happened? It seems that a virus has turned everyone on Earth (or at least New York) into vampires except for his character (at least he thinks so). It's really a remake of the classic Omega Man of writer Richard Matheson.
