Where are the Movie Police? Can we please lock Uwe Boll up for good and never let him within 100 miles of a film set ever again?
BloodRayne is a video game adaptation. Alarm bells should have been ringing in my head but I decided to approach it with an open mind, I shrugged away the 2.2 rating on IMDb.com and pretended I didn't see the "Bottom 100" listing.
Yeah I know, big mistake. Don't need to tell me twice.
There is not one iota of originality within BloodRayne and it follows the tried and tested (sometimes successful) formula of "Half human, half vampire hero/heroine-in-really-bad-costume must stop evil head vampire from slaughtering the world", or something like that. Blade, Underworld..been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thanks. Which genius decided we needed another take? And this isn't even a half- baked attempt, this is just an exercise in really, really bad film-making.
The acting is absolutely horrible and all I can suppose is that the likes of Rodriguez, Madsen and Kingsley must have been desperate for a paycheck. Loken, after her turn in Terminator 3, well she just wanted her big break. All the poor girl got was a big belly flop of a role in a stinker of a movie.
With a plot as fresh as week-old roadkill, laughable, stilted dialog and action scenes with as much style and grace as a monkey in a tutu, BloodRayne is a complete and utter waste of time. Easily the worst movie so far for 2006.
