Plot: The war against the forces of darkness becomes a family affair in this cinematic prequel to the popular video game {*Bloodrayne}. In 16th century Europe, Lord Kagan (Ben Kingsley) is an evil ruler who holds more power than any man alive, but he still dreams of having more, and when he's told of three magic talismans who, when united, will give him intense supernatural strength and the gift of immortality, he will stop at nothing to attain them. However, three warriors who have learned how to battle the forces of darkness -- Vladimir (Michael Madsen), Katarin (Michelle Rodriguez), and Sebastian (Matt Davis) -- have formed the Brimstone Society, with the goal of stripping Kagan of his power and restoring justice to their land. They can't accomplish this on their own, though, so they enlist the aid of Rayne (Kristanna Loken), a half-human, half-vampire who can approach Kagan's sinister gifts while having a desire to do good. However, Rayne is torn about signing on with the Brimstone Society, and for a good reason -- Kagan is her father. Scripted by actress, screenwriter, and video-game enthusiast Guinevere Turner, BloodRayne also stars Geraldine Chaplin, Udo Kier, Billy Zane, Michael Paré, and Meat Loaf Aday. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Why does this have such a low rating? Oh yeah, it's an Uwe Boll movie and A LOT of people give 1 star to all of his movies even if they didn't even see them! Some people take movies WAY too seriously. I liked this movie and I think that it deserves atleast 2.5 stars. Sure, it's not a good movie, but it's very entertaining, it has a lot of great gore (from Olaf Ittenbach!) and Kristanna Loken is insanely hot! Yeah, the acting is bad... So what? It's just brainless entertainment! God, I can't believe that some people care about the acting in cheesy action/horror movies... The acting doesn't need to be good in those movies! Those movies are all about entertainment! If you can't stand bad acting, then don't watch cheesy action/horror movies. Period. A lot of people hate the ending because it's pointless (it's pretty much a compilation of the best gore scenes + longer versions of some of the gore scenes), but I loved it (you know why)!

Just shut your brain off, don't take it seriously and enjoy Kristanna Loken, her tits and the gore.

BloodRayne... Red Rayne is falling down Red Rayne
Added 10/20/2009

BloodRayne: 7 out of 10: Uwe Boll is not the next Ed Wood, Not even close. (To every person who blithely claims this is the worst film ever I recommend Raptor Island on the Sci-fi network as a primer on how bad genre films can actual be or perhaps a made for PAX disaster film such as the obviously titled Killer Flood: The Day the Dam Broke.) Yes Uwe's House of the Dead was a particularity stupid film. I hated it too. But Uwe knows how to point his camera in the general direction of the action and keep the action at a pace that holds ones interest.

BloodRayne is a surprisingly enjoyable genre romp. Yes all the individual criticisms at the film from the bizarre choices in hair pieces and costumes to the silly dialogue are true. But c'mon it's a video game/vampire movie. Really how high are ones expectations going in? For a video game movie it isn't half bad. (Its tons better than say Doom, not as tightly put together as say Resident Evil) Uwe brings a refreshing European sensibility to sex and violence in the movie (In other words plenty of gratuitous nudity and violence). He also makes good use of the Romanian landscape bringing an almost Peter Jackson feel to the proceedings.

Also in campy side of things it's always fun watching Hollywood professionals ruin careers for the sake of a paycheck. (The way Madsen looks and acts in this movie I wouldn't hire him to do my lawn and Kingsley acts as if he is auditioning for the Mr. Burns role in an upcoming live action Simpson's movie) So Uwe Boll isn't the next Ed Wood more a talentless Paul Verhoeven. Hey at least his films are getting better and BloodRayne is a surprising fun film for those with a less discriminating taste.

Added 5/31/2009

Because you've never seen her before! Who the hell is Kristanna Loken?

Anyway, even worse than the 1-star reviews have so generously put it.
