BloodRayne: The Third Reich (Unrated Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]

Great movie always been a favorite

All-right, people can say I'm crazy but the Bloodrayne movie series rocks just as the games do (look out for the upcoming Bloodrayne: The Shroud video game). Each movie has a different time setting, but this one is by far the most interesting. Any little mistake, such as over-the-top silliness with gore, or slow pacing, has been corrected from prior movie mistakes. This one also is most like the games, but almost takes the material slightly more seriously with shots of Nazi's and Hitler looking like documentary stock footage. The general "Ekhart Brand" holds a lot of elements from various generals in "Bloodrayne" the video game. The look of the film is very well done, from the costumes, especially Rayne's, who gets several different, well-designed outfits. For random elements, Bloodrayne has a love interest who doesn't leave or die, Nazi's are killed endlessly, Bloodrayne makes out with a lesbian gypsie, and more Nazi's die. A scientist resembling real-life Adolf Hitler's doctor is ever-present and very wierd. Both Uwe Boll and Paul W.S. Anderson deserve much credit for jumpstarting video-game to film, and they still both hold the best video-game franchises: Bloodrayne and Resident Evil respectively. Also look out for upcoming "Resident Evil: Retribution" in Sept. 2012, as well as Uwe Boll's "In THe Name Of The King: 2 Worlds" and even a promised "Bloodrayne4!"

"BloodRayne: The Third Reich" is a fairly mild 2010 film of vampire genre that has nude lesbian cunnilingus, several open displays of bordello sweater meat, a ninja style woman who eviscerates enemies via swords or knives, and has a very interesting version of an optional way for beheading a vampire. The gore is not all that impressive for a seasoned veteran of any category of violent films, and the nudity more than likely is the part more for adult viewing than is the violence or gore. There's some occasional vulgar language, but nothing seems overdone except for the inclusion of Hitler's regime (German soldiers and German officers speaking flawless English with no accent or brogue whatsoever) and World War II time period, with some compelling images of anti-Semite prejudice, animus to the point of misogyny, and not much depth for the newcomer to be introduced by explanation to the BloodRayne theme. The lead protagonist is Natassia Malthe, as BloodRayne, the dhampir. The creepiest thing about this film is Clint Howard, who has been in films, TV series, and the theater since the 1950's (over 200 production titles for his appearances). He plays an egocentric, myopic, experimentation surgeon in "BloodRayne: The Third Reich." But there's really not much overall substance here for a contemporary offering, and I'm guessing censorship must have left the majority of the good stuff on the cutting room floor. The villains are easy to hate, and the heroine easy to appreciate; but for this to be acclaimed as the best of the three BloodRayne films, writer Michael Nachoff and director Use Boll need some serious creativity here. They have incredibly beautiful sets to work with (filmed in Croatia), and beautiful women too. This film cannot be given more than 3 stars, and that is generously given based upon the gratuitous displays of eye candy. Ten million dollar production budgets don't buy much for films these days, but I'm guessing Natassia Malthe has a promising future in her acting career (I know I'd like to see her again). I'm a visual fan of the BloodRayne genre, and have no interest in the books or video games, therefore my opinion of the film is independent of any long term multi-exposure to otherwise provided details separate from the DVD inside this artwork wrapped plastic case. I have to agree with a few reviews I've seen that say this film is destined for B-movie cult fan base bins for campy stuff that mixed the beautiful with the ugly, the pleasure with the torture, and fairly good acting with really, really horrible acting. Could have been great if the mix was kept closer together instead of the extreme ends of the spectrum. Horse feces and perfectly outdoor grilled steak side-by-side on the same plate don't make for an appetizing meal.

Much more in keeping with the videogame upon which this franchise is based, this third adventure takes the action to Nazi Europe of World War Two, and for fans of these films, of which apparently there aren't too many, this is indeed a good one. Uwe Boll's BLOODRAYNE movies are very much like modern-day HAMMER horror films, some better than others, and this latest R-rated, bloody spectacle offers all thrills possible. As far as the videogame origins, this movie excels at recreating the look and style of the game itself, and although the story has been altered once again, the spirit of the videogame (finally!) is alive and well. Michael Pare (remember THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT?) returns from the last BloodRayne, this time playing a completely different character, and the sexy Natassia Malthe is quite good as Rayne herself, no longer the "new girl" in the role. Unfortunately, if you are not a fan or player of the BLOODRAYNE videogame, chances are this thing will not appeal to you. Those interested, however, can delight in seeing the sexiest, best BLOODRAYNE yet, blending Nazis and vampires into a thrilling mix. Keeps it short, too, with a running time under 90 minutes.

If you like Blade, you will like this. A vampire/human hybrid but in this case, a female, gets into all sorts of trouble with Nazis. The resulting bloodfeud is violence to the core! If you like the martial arts or vampire style movies, you should like this. It is not as good as the first one with Lokken as the star but is still good for true fantasy fans.

Rayne is a legendary Vampire Hunter.

This is by far the best bloodrayne movie out of the three that have been created. if you haven't seen it because you didn't like the previous two. definitely take the time to check this movie out. The story and acting are by far better than the previous two. While not base on any of the games the story is solid. plus there some fan services.

i got the movie and the disc works that is important

i love all 3 films it was in widescreen which made me very happy good quality waiting for first film to arrive

This is the third Bloodrayne movie. The story is simple and you can enjoy it if you haven’t seen the second movie.

人気がないせいか安価で入手出来てラッキー。 面白かったですよ。

Guter Nachfolger des ersten Teil. Der 2 Teil ist nicht so gut.

Muy entretenida y mucha acción aunque algo corta imagen y sonido Buenos
