Despite hating the first two films, saw 'Bloodrayne 3' anyway out of curiosity. As a franchise completest, to see whether it was that bad and again to see whether Uwe Boll, considered one of the worst ever directors, had a halfway decent film in him (having seen no evidence of that with any of the previous films seen and probably never will). Expectations were not high at all but there was small glimpses of hope, am trying to be kind here as hating on films is a long way from being a hobby (hate it on the most part actually).
'Bloodrayne 3' is no improvement whatsoever on the first two films. Hard to say which is the worst of the three, because they all have the same faults and are as amateur hour as each other. Boll has yet to show that he can make a halfway decent film or show any enthusiasm or passion for directing. Like the second film, it is down there with the worst sequels but like that film it also but doesn't have the issue of disgracing the original film with the original film here not being good in the first place. Everything is abysmally executed have very rarely recently called a film irredeemable, it actually takes a lot for me to call a film that.
'Bloodrayne 3' once again couldn't be worse on a visual level. Photography that is both chaotic and static, bacon-slicer-like editing, drab costumes that don't fit the setting and like they came from a very low-budget fancy dress party (which actually are generally more appealing), continuity errors galore (more than anybody can count), afterthought-like visual effects, lighting completely lacking in atmosphere, those can all be found. The music is never dynamic with anything on screen, often working against it and like it belonged in another film entirely, on top of that it is very unpleasant to listen to.
Ever atrocious (every Boll film has it), the writing doesn't flow and the cheesines gets far too much, enough to make one want to vomit and again became exhauted by the amount of unintentional camp and complete lack of wit there was. The hugely unexciting and momentum-less action, when it features, is chaotically edited, under-rehearsed choreographically and a lot of it is incomprehensible. Ineptitude is all over it, it doubled in the second film and it doubled even more here. As is the story, which is actually not much of one in the first place, it never comes to life and is not easy to follow often. Boll's direction is typically non-existent and cold, as well as smug. The characters are walking cliches that are neither interesting or worth rooting for, instead bland and irritating. There are a lot of gratuitous elements that look cheap, are inserted randomly and have no reason usually for being there, and the love scene was completely out of place and pointless.
Acting is not much better. Natassia Malfe looks completely uninterested and also doesn't look comfortable. Meanwhile the rest of the cast are even hammier than before, perhaps arguably twice as much and the support acting was very hammy in the second film though Ben Kingsley in the first out-hammed them all.
In conclusion, can once again say nothing good here. 1/10 Bethany Cox
