    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.

    The only thing left unsliced is the ham in BloodRayne, yet another video game adaptation by German genre specialist Uwe Boll and a movie with more fading - or faded - talent than an Italian basketball team.

    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.

    Attention, Ben Kingsley (I mean, Sir Ben Kingsley): It's officially time to turn in your Oscar.

    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.

    Just when you thought camp was dead, along comes this bizarre cross between a Tarantino knockoff and a Hammer horror film.

    While there's no fun in mediocrity, ludicrousness is another matter. Boll is the best at what he does, and what he does is make truly terrible films.

    Why do moviegoers and gamers keep going to see video-game-based movies when neither group is ever happy with the results?

    Maybe everyone involved was hoping that no one would see this movie, but Madsen is the only one who should fear anyone seeing his work.

    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."… Full Review »

    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.… Full Review »

    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.… Full Review »
