Film 228/365, Day 243/365 – Underworld: Evolution

More vampires, more action and more Kate Beckinsale in that tight leather body suit... good times!  This film follows on from the original, so if you haven’t seen the original then you really should before you watch this one.  It has a good mix of action and some interesting ideas with the vampire and werewolf mythology.  Vampires and werewolves as they should be!

Synopsis:  Selene, a vampire, is on the run with Michael, the first ever hybrid vampire/werewolf, pursued by Marcus, the original vampire.  Marcus knows much more about Selene’s past than she does and he also knows that she is the key to locating his brother, William, the original werewolf.

Film 47/365, Day 54/365 – Underworld

Selene is a death dealer by trade, vampire by nature.  She is one of the best at what she does, and that is to hunt Lycans, their vicious enemies in a war that has lasted for over one thousand years.  When a routine hunt turns openly violent something didn’t feel right for Selene.  Who is this human the Lycans were following and why?

Underworld is an excellent film, and how Vampires and Werewolves should behave.  It is packed full of action with plenty of story to boot, enough for several more films obviously!  The world in which Underworld takes place is fantastically dark and Gothic.  One of my all time favourite vampire films, up there with 30 Days of Night.
