In this chilling prequel to his other two films, Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, story-writer-director Len Wiseman (who turns over the directorial reigns to Patrick Tatopoulos here) pens a tale that traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires known as Death Dealers and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian (Michael Sheen, Frost/Nixon) emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Bill Nighy, Valkyrie), the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Sonja (Rhona Mitra, Doomsday), in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom. With glorious special-effects and blood by the gallon... here's a thriller you can sink your teeth into.

TOP CRITICS'S REVIEWS

 

Rotten:

-Hank Sartin, Time Out, November 18, 2011
 

Rotten: Take our advice: Buy a rubber mallet and strike yourself repeatedly until you start to black out. Same basic feeling.

-Hank Sartin, Time Out New York, January 29, 2009
 

Rotten: The numerous action sequences, while imaginative, lack a visual cohesion that allows them to be fully appreciated.

-Eddie Cockrell, Sydney Morning Herald, January 29, 2009
 

Rotten: Sheen and Nighy do their best with the material, but this is easily the worst Underworld so far.

-Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly, January 26, 2009

Great Movie!

Just what we have come to expect from the Lycan movie series. A director who can merge modern technolog with exceptional actors and a great story will always produce classic hits that will stand the test of time.
