Quickie review of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans trailer
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is a prequel about the revolt from slavery of the Lycans (werewolves) from the dominant Vampires. In this installment, Rhona Mitra plays the daughter of the head vampire who falls for an enslaved werewolf.
The Gimpage here is when Rhona’s father finds out about the romantic tryst and sentences his own daughter to death as she is secured AOH. The ceiling then gets opened up to let the sun in, which engulfs the helpless Rhona in flames (I think there might be a message in there somewhere about mixed marriages….. only joking ;-)
Entertainment wise a better picture that I thought it’d be, giving it a B-
Gimp wise a so-so scene that gets bumped up just a notch because it does star Rhona. Grade a D+
Final comments: Not a bad movie, probably of more appeal to fans of Vampire or Werewolf movies. See it on that level as Gimp will be of limited appeal to non Rhona Mitra fans. Maybe of some interest to BATS fans though.
