Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)
Director: Patrick Tatopoulos
Movie review
From Time Out Chicago
Enslaved werewolves (excuse us, Lycans) rebel against their vampire overlords. Head vamp Nighy twitches and glares, while Lycan leader Sheen (yes, of Frost/Nixon) shouts his way through Spartacus-style speeches in between werewolf transformations. Take our advice: Buy a rubber mallet and strike yourself repeatedly until you start to black out. Same basic feeling as sitting through this.Author: Hank Sartin
