“Underworld” is known for being stylish, futuristic, and extremely violent, which is one reason many Christian groups shun it (in addition to its themes of Vampires and werewolves). But its leader ( Charles Dance) is reluctant to conceal them for long, and the subsequent revelations and their consequences will change all their lives forever. Fearing for the child’s life and searching for answers to her parentage, Selene is forced to take her into hiding in one of the few remaining covens. “Eve” (India Eisley) reveals extraordinary abilities, but fails to display the rapid healing of a normal Vampire. Her awakening in a laboratory and subsequent escape from a high-tech testing facility has coincided with the flight of another prisoner, one they want even more than their desire to reclaim Selene-“Patient #2.” Not knowing what her association to this patient is other than that they seem to be sharing visual flashes from one another’s perspectives, Selene is shocked to discover her fellow former prisoner is an eleven year old child. Much has changed in the intervening time since… and she remembers none of it, since her last memory is watching a burst of ultraviolet light blast her and her hybrid-lover Michael (Scott Speedman) apart. Twelve years have passed since the Vampire Death Dealer Selene ( Kate Beckinsale) last prowled the streets. No other big-screen blockbuster franchise in recent years is this cool. And even though it is excessively violent, at times, it’s not hard to see why. Series: “ Underworld” (2003), “ Underworld: Evolution” (2006), “ Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” (2009), “ Underworld: Awakening” (2012), “ Underworld: Blood Wars” (2017)Įven though the critics are not fond of this franchise, it’s apparent from its repeated box office success that audiences love it.
