Review of BloodRayne

BloodRayne (2005)
5/10
Oh, come on, it wasn't that bad at all.

Such a bad rating for BloodRayne, now, really (this is not a prepaid advertisement), that seems unfair. There are so many really bad movies which would have to be on the 100 worst list.

I have to say in the defense of this film that it is at least watchable, and that Ben Kingsley and Geraldine Chaplin are in it (=they must have seen something in the script that we moviegoers did not see in the final version).

It is always so hard to tell where such fantasy movies go wrong, there seems to be such a very thin line between great and disastrous.

The problem here is maybe that the main character, Rayne, is rather a parody of herself. Further, the plot is somewhat a mock as well.

Still, the vampire-evil-good-fighting-horses-night-thing somehow also worked here for me, despite the doubtless flaws depicted above.

It is by far not the worst movie I have ever seen (by the way, who has ever-ever seen a good vampire movie, this one is still miles ahead of Interview with a Vampire or the Blade movies), although I am definitely not encouraging the sequel that is rumored to be in production. Do instead something decent with that money, for a change.
