UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING
STARRING: Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, India Eisley, Theo James, Charles Dance, Kris Holden-Reid and Sandrine Holt
DIRECTOR: Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein
GENRE: Horror
SYNOPSIS: After twelve years of cryogenic suspension, Vampire Selene awakens to discover that Humans are in the process of eradicating the Vampire and Lycan clans.
RATING: R
RUNNING TIME: 88 Mins
THE GOOD: Star Kate Beckinsale is back! Unfortunately, her presence isn’t enough to keep you awake as this fourth installment quickly becomes the number-one cure for insomnia. Yes, the fangs are out, but the lack of anything new gives this film no bite.
THE BAD: Co-Star Scott Speedman chose not to return… Unfortunately, that didn’t stop anybody from using his image to make it seem like he was back… The results are not only transparent, but sad.
THE UGLY: The make-up for the young hybrid girl looks too much like the possessed young girl of THE EXORCIST. Again the lack of originality is upsetting.
MY SCORE: **
(2 OUT OF 5 STARS)
