Underworld

Kate Beckinsale is Selene, a vampire warrior who is a trained "death dealer" tasked with hunting and killing the Lycans (werewolves). This is the first in what turns out to be a 5 film series playing out over more than a decade. The vampires have 3 elders that rotate through leadership, and when not on rotation, are hibernating. Selene encounters a couple of difficulties - she falls in love with a human, the human is sought after by the Lycans, and her trusted mentor is not so trustworthy. A nice fantasy world is created that has some possibilities for story telling.

3 stars (out of 5)
