Humans are noticed about as much as we notice cattle in a field they’re a curiosity, but not important to a vampire’s daily life.Rather than summarise each movie, it is perhaps better to look at the mythology of the universe itself, as this is what I love anyway. I think I liked the third movie, Rise of the Lycans, the most, as it tells the story of how the feud came about, of why Lucien hates vampires and why Viktor is so hell-bent on destroying Michael, a vampire/werewolf hybrid.There is no sleeping in coffins or stakes through the heart – humans generally die if they’re bitten by a vampire – but sunlight is deadly. I’m not after Oscar-award-winning performances.My favourite part of the trilogy is the sheer thought that has gone into the world-building of the Underworld universe. They talk of poor acting and bad lines, but I like the acting and I thought the lines worked. A lot of folks look at me strangely when I say it is one of my favourite – if not favourite – vampire movie series. Mostly, I just want to be entertained with the general myth being adhered to.UnderworldThat’s why I love the Underworld movies.
I don’t really need them to be unique, to show me something new about the vampire or to even be works of art. I tend to be a bit picky when it comes to vampire movies.
