    There are all sorts of noteworthy people in this silly vampire epic, including acting greats Sir Ben Kingsley and Geraldine Chaplin, but the only artist this critic wants to heap praise upon is the regrettably unidentified Supervisor of Blood Splatter: Nice work, dude.

    With minimal flare and maximal gore, Boll simply delivers the turgid drama and incompetently staged action sequences that have made him the unstoppable Big Boss of the gaming community.

    Our blood-smacking antiheroine, Rayne (Kristanna Loken), isn't a vampire; she's a dhampir, a half-human, half-vampire cross-fiend who's as anguished, strange, and sloppy as mercenaries, or movies, get.
  4. Attention, Ben Kingsley (I mean, Sir Ben Kingsley): It's officially time to turn in your Oscar.

    All of the low ratings are very suspicious. I am flabbergasted and appalled that viewers standards and comprehension of brilliance have fallen to such low thresholds. This film puts even the classics like Maltese Falcon and Mr Smith Goes to Washington to shame. The cinematography, direction, acting, effects and philosophical meaning best every performance ever, from Humphrey Bogart to Christian Bale. After you see this movie, kill yourself, because you've already achieved the pinnacle of your life. From here on out, all that remains is a slippery precipice of failure. Expand

    It seems like Bloodrayne has just fizzled out. The games were good, but too seldom do games go to movies that turn out even half decent. This movie has once again demonstrated that games-to-movies just doesn't work most of the time. Forget Rayne, and forget vampires. Expand
  3. I've never played the video games so I can't comparisons between this movie and the games, but I can tell you this movie is freaking terrible. Honestly I have no idea why this was allowed to be made. The plot, acting, writing, setting, and special effects are all terrible. This is one of the worst movies ever created. Now I know Uwe Boll movies have a reputation of being horrible, but I found enjoyment in his movies House of the Dead and In the Name of the king: A Dungeon Siege Tale, just because they had a so bad it's good quality to them. And I was hoping to find that same enjoyment here, but as you can tell I didn't. In case you can't tell I strongly recommend you avoid this movie at any and all costs. It's horrible and 95 minutes of your life you wont get back. Expand

    This movie didn't really fulfill what was needed to fulfill and do the game justice. Of course, the movie basically put me to sleep on most parts. Sure, some scenes were OK and other scenes where there was actually some action into it, it was good, yeah, but it wasn't "great." Expand

    This week's "Resident Evil: Afterlife" is yet another film adaptation of a popular videogame. Everything you've heard about the genre is true: there are a lot of terrible movies, and a lot of Uwe Boll movies. (And those categories are definitely not mutually exclusive.) We look at the "best" and worst examples of games-turned-movies.

    While it's unlikely that this week's "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" will merit consideration on our list, here are the ten movies it would have to beat out to be considered the top vampire film since 1980. We've added five additional vampire movies from the other end of the quality spectrum, but there aren't any "Twilight" films among them ... yet.
