Underworld

I know; I'm late. Six years late.

A vampire movie done right, Selene (Kate Beckinsdale) does the usual: kill. But not humans (there was an allusion late in the movie to these vampires feasting on livestock. Twilight, five years later, has a similar notion); instead, they hunt the Lycans, the werewolves. No one seems to know how the war that had lasted "the better part of a thousand years" had started, but it was war, and people kill.

Things are evidently going smoothly until some human (Scott Speedman) gets involved, and then there's a coup and rising from the dead and a weird love triangle (or is it a rectangle..?) and all sorts of random memories.

The plot is complicated enough to maintain a good storyline without getting anyone lost (The Illusionist, anyone?), but it's got it's share of awesomeness. The violence was rampant - it was a vampire movie - which was the only thing I noticed to give it its R rating.

Trivia: this movie had lots, and lots, and lots of guns. So much so that I had to look them up (and found them) here. So just in case you need to shoot a werewolf (or an evil vampire), there ya go.
