Based on the
game of a same name,
BloodRayne is the third video game movie by Uwe Boll, released in 2005, starring
Kristanna Loken,
Michelle Rodriguez,
Michael Madsen, and
Ben Kingsley.
The film centers around the
dhampyr Rayne seeking to bring down her vampire father, Kagan. Instead of centering around killing Nazis, the first film is set around the Middle Ages and features a more laid back Rayne compared to her video game counterpart. But afterall, Uwe Boll made this film and his faithfulness to source material has always been lacking.
Bloodrayne pretty much became the first franchise of films by Uwe Boll, as there are two sequels,
Bloodrayne II Deliverance and
Bloodrayne The Third Reich , and a fourth film is in development, rumored to be set in modern times.
This film contains the examples of:
- Attempted Rape: Rayne is almost raped by the one of the circus workers, but during the quarrel some blood is drawn and her powers are awakened.
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Rayne's signature weapons, which are inexplicably replaced with swords in the third film.
- Coitus Ensues: There's a sex scene between Rayne and Sebastian, with no build up beforehand. The third film also features Rayne having sex with Nathaniel for no legitimate reason... in the back of a truck of a prisoner transport.
- Dual Wielding
- Evil Is Hammy: Meat Loaf as Leonid.
- Fortune Teller: Rayne finds out about her Chosen One status when she meets one after she breaks free from the circus.
- Mismatched Eyes: Rayne's eyes when she receives one of the Plot Coupons.
- Plot Coupon: Rayne and Kagan are looking for the holy (unholy?) body parts of an ancient vampire, that take away their weaknesses.
- Romance on the Set: Apparently Kristanna Loken and Michelle Rodriguez dated for bit during filming.
- Sad Times Montage: In the last 5 minutes, after Rayne kills Kagan and sits on the throne, the viewer is treated to about 3-4 minutes of slow motion shots of many of the gory kills in the film. But it seems more like a special effects montage showcasing the over-the-top gore effects and the fight choreography.
- Sword Fight: Plenty of it , even the climactic action scene is one.
- Weakened By The Light: Leonid is destroyed by sunlight.
