2/4  Boll's Best = C minus grade
Splatter-happy video game adaptation with poor performances from Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen, Meatloaf and especially Ben Kingsley; the film does look good but why in the world did it need a montage at the end, recapping all of the pa... (read full)

0.5/4  Just plain terrible
Someone kill me if I ever try to watch this again. Uwe Boll should be brutally tortured for making this movie. His idea of if the movie sucks add more blood has never worked and it makes this film even more god awful... whats worse is that... (read full)

4/5 BloodRayne... Red Rayne is falling down Red Rayne
  by Julian Kennedy (St Pete Florida)
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.

1/5 Kristanna Loken as you've never seen her before!
  by Captain (Dacono, Colorado USA)
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.

1/5 Completely Awful, Utterly Unredeemable
  by M (Gnawing away at your reality)
I have never played a Bloodrayne game. One of my exes was a big Bloodrayne fan, loved the games, so I knew the basic premise of BR but nothing more. So I watched this movie with no preconceived notions, I wasn't going to be constantly mentally comparing the similarities and differences in the game and the movie.

But the movie was awful on its own, whether it was close to the games or not. The acting is stupid, the story is horrible (if a vampire can't touch water, how do they stay clean, and by this logic, wouldn't any kind of moisture kill them?) and it's never explained how Rayne was forced to become part of the circus. Her acting especially, was shallow and lame. I didn't feel as if she was putting ANY effort into her role as Rayne.

Everything was a train wreck from the start. The acting is laughable, the plot is contrived, the characters shallow, and the whole thing one huge disaster that should never have been excreted from Mr. Boll's rear end.
