When I first heard the plot synopsis of this film, I was so excited. It sounded like it would be a superb movie and such an interesting idea. Werewolved pitted against vampires with a Romeo and Juliet-esque love story thrown in. I had been waiting for a film like this...
But at the release time, I was broke. And I stayed broke (well, still am) and was unable to attend a movie theatre screening of Underworld. Dsiappointed but determined I waited the long months for it to hit video. I didn't rent it, though. I went striaght out and bought it. DVD-style! I figured I'd love it and the special features would be worth the extra cash.
Oh man, what the hell what I thinking? What a terrible, pathetic, shoddy excuse for cinema! It's not a movie, it's a slow-moving, depressing attempt at an artistic faux-documentary of the morbid lives of the bloodsuckers and the furbearers! Avoid at all costs!
