In Bloodrayne we meet Rayne (Kristianna Loken), a half-human half-vampire sworn to kill her evil tyrant vampire father, Kagan (Ben Kingsley). Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriguez, and Matthew Davis play a trio of vampire hunters who ally themselves with Rayne.
Blodrayne is based on a video game of the same name, with swords, chains, breasts, blood, and severed heads - it seems more like a throwback to great early 1980s sword and sorcery movies! Inbetween the slashing and gouging there are torch-lit castles, dodgy booby traps, blurry flashbacks, and aerial camera shots that swoop down through the gorgeous Carpathian landscapes. Theres a surprising number of name actors in bit parts, including Meat Loaf as a vampire surrounded by nubile naked concubines, Geraldine Chaplin as a fortune teller whos clearly having fun and Billy Zane as a bored vampire king plotting to take over the kingdom!
Its a pretty enjoyable movie with an element of dodgy cinematography thrown in, I enjoyed it!
Here is the trailer...
