Nell Minow Common Sense Media Pulpy, punk-ish story with some intense violence. Rated: 3/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review 
Empire Magazine In the end, it's more a role-playing game scenario than a plot -- although there someone would have worked out rules that make sense. Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review 
Time Out These vampires have no teeth -- hell, they don't even fly. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review 
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The production and costume designs were clearly labored over, but like any polished exterior that's merely a fragile casing for an empty center, the film waves off character development for skin-tight leather and pouty brooding. Rated: 2/4 Mar 3, 2024 Full Review 
Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast One wishes that Kate Beckinsale got to have a little more fun as Selene and Kraven is a terrible villain, but the blue-filtered Matrix-rip off (action, costume, gun play) is very welcome. Plus: Nighy is having the absolute best time chewing the scenery. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 19, 2023 Full Review 
Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Conspiracies and allegorical angles aside, this sleekly stylized monster mash ends up a big, muddy mess of bad guys: predator versus predator, and the winner takes the human race. Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

View All (1000+) audience reviewsSankalp good S It's a great gun rpg like film with strong performances with simple script n good cliffhanger with Underworld is best addition to a action vampire series with great cast 😃♥️💫⚡🎉👊👌👏💯 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/04/24 Full Review Alex r Probably the best vampire film in modern day. A legend in the vampire genre. A revival of the dark horror film modernized and turned into action adventure. This movie is worth watching if you love gun play or action movies them being vampires and lycans are the cherry on top. The werewolves are revolutionary. The war between them works on every level and the lore and acting was very good. I enjoyed it, it won't win awards but it didn't take you out of a scene. Selene is an icon and well deserved shes beautiful, yet deadly without needing to try. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Travis B early 2000s romeo and juliet like story i dig it Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Ricardo R If you're craving that WoD experience in movies, this is probably the only place where you can get it. This movie has A LOT of positive things going in it's favor - Too bad the sequels aren't on the list... Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Chris F A mildly entertaining but ultimately empty vampire flick that makes poor use of a good cast and what was a compelling premise. Making Kate Beckinsale's character the focal piece of this film was an unusual and plodding choice that detracted from the film. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review William B Wildly underappreciated! I truly had a blast watching this and it's one of my favorite films.
