Review of BloodRayne

Uwe Boll's latest exorcise in futility is the tale of a half human half vampire looking for revenge on the bloodsucker that killer her mom. Along the way, Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriquez, Meatloaf, Udo Kier, Billy Zane, and a cast of tens read their lines either in a blank monotone, with pretentious pausing, or in horrible accents. Then there is Sir Ben Kingsley, I didn't think anyone could make more of a fool of them self than Meatloaf as the gayest straight vampire in history, but Ben goes through the motions in a role that seems more suited to the talents of Bruce Payne. He should have starred in Cleaver instead. As for Boll, God help me, I think he is getting slightly better. Yes, he has no sense of character or narrative flow and he is far too obsessed with the spurting of blood, but the action scenes aren't nearly as silly as the ones in House of the Dead or Alone In The Dark.

P.S. I can't wait for Bloodrayne 2, where Rayne takes on a vampiric Billy the Kid. Good God...
