Wicked movie.

I enjoyed it very much but it also left me a little dissapointed. IMO it could have been even better, this had "epic" written all over it.

The basic storyline is quality. Hate, betrayal, forbidden love, warewolves and vampires smacking the ******** out of each other. But they needed to develop the relationship between the two main characters more.

And they had Kate Beckinsale playing the sexiest vampire ever but she didnt vamp it up at all.

They also could have stepped it back a cog or 2 on the CGI. Sometimes they over step the mark where it goes from almost real to corny special effect.

Still very good.

I was thing more of the lines of her chainging him up, having a quicky, and then taking off to fight the warewolfs. :)

lol...yeah that would have made the story line better :D ... i wonder what they would have wrote on the blurb if that had have been in the movie ;)
 
Quality movie...a sequel is in the works called Underworld Evolution...And how hot is Sophia Myles who plays the vampire Erica (the blonde chick).

I remember watching it and thinking my time had been wasted as well. Garbage.

didnt say my time was wasted - I seen the movie with a chick who thought the movie was crap too - we found other ways to keep ourselves "entertained"

:p
 
Not the best Vampire film I have seen, but better than most, and definately better than most Hollywood attempts at the Vampire genre. Preferred VAN HELSING, but still no Vampire film gets close the Jess Franco's THE FEMALE VAMPIRE.

It was disappointing but not a complete waste of time. It had more potential but the filmmakers baulked at the task and it ended up bland and pointless in many parts.
 
What did people want? It created a world you could get lost in with its visual style and use of greyish film stock, plus quality special effects (unlike Van Helsing).

I have the alternate cut of that flick - "Insatiable Lust", which contains more of her hard-core stand in than it does Lina Romay.

Lucky Bastard. I've seen a couple of different versions, but "Insatiable Lust" is the one I'd the most like to see.

Sorry for sidetracking the discussion away from "Underworld", but Leftfield have you seen Lina in "Doriana Gray"? Hardcore it may be, but it also works extremely well as a very dour and unsettling horror film.

I also have a film of hers called "Claire" which seems to be a film cobbled together out of a Jess Franco and a Jean Rollin production. I remember being excited that "Faceless" when I saw that both Lina and Brigitte Lahaie were in the same film, turns out they were in Claire together too, but I reckon both gals filmed their bits years apart.

Have "Doriana Gray" on DVD. It's part of The Jess Franco Collection released by Erwin Deitrich. He has gone to some trouble to remaster all the releases and give a complete a version of the film as possible. I have 7 of the films on DVD already including "Barbed Wire Dolls", "Love Letters of a Portugese Nun" and "Voodoo Passion". Overall I have about 40 of Franco's film. I haven't seen or heard much about "Claire", but Franco and Rollin are two of my favourite director's so I'll have to check it out. I have "Facveless", I got it more for Caroline Munro who I think was one of the sexiest women of the 70's.
