For a lot of bad movies, you can simply say to yourself that the person making them is probably a wonderful person in real life. Not with Boll. He actually physically attacks his critics and once backed out from a fight because the critic was a good boxer. I know little about boxing, but could try my hand at him. This is another one of his awful movies. They say there's no good direct to video movies, especially when the original film was terrible to begin with. This manages to even worse than the original as it repeats the mistakes and actually adds some new ones.So this movie takes place in the Old West and it's pretty easy to say that this is the worst Western I've seen in my entire life. Was this something from the BloodRayne games? I don't know and I don't care. It's awful no matter how you look at. We get to see the same idiotic slow motion scenes over and over. After the first ten times, it really becomes aggravating. He does this same thing again when a woman has sex with a guy after meeting him for a minute or so. A lot of this movie is filmed in the dark and it's just ugly to look at. This isn't your "Alone In The Dark" movie, Uwe.This film is also just plain mean spirited. There are actually scenes where children are being bitten and have their blood sucked out. There's a scene where half a dozen of them are about to be hanged at the same time. The scene where the guy cuts himself so Rayne can drink his blood isn't very pleasant either. There's one character who's a priest that talks about how God is sending people to Hell and hates gays. Guess what? He's actually a good guy! There's this obnoxious fat reporter who keeps appearing too. It looks like he's going to die a few times, but he unfortunately lives. 1/2*

Arriving at a small Western town, half-human/half-vampire Rayne finds the citizens in a grip of fear over the vampiric Billy the Kid and his gang, forcing her to put together a band of mercenaries and hunt them down to save the town.This one manages to be slightly flawed while at the same time enjoyable. The film's biggest problem here is that it's more like a dark Western than an out-and-out Horror film, which isn't a bad thing but rather tends to bring about a different feel than it should. Instead of focusing on the vampiric hold over the town's citizens or his extremely ludicrous plan to usher in his reign of vampire exploration and domination, we're treated to scenes of her running around the area gathering her posse and the different manners in which they live in the Old-West, which was full of typical Western antics and not horror moves. That this is all good stuff regardless doesn't damage the fact that with the decreased amount of time it's spending as a horror film is a major detriment here. The vampires really don't have much to do here since there's only a few scenes featuring them, so their absence is notable leaving it hard to fear them as those sequences are centered around the action scenes, but that in the end constitutes the film's good parts. Featuring many outstanding shoot-outs and hand-to-hand weaponry fighting encounters, from the initial take-over of the town and the girl's capture to her escape and cleaning out the streets, this one's got some pretty enjoyable, bloody action scenes to really work well here. Even more impactful is the finale, which has the full confrontation with both the townspeople with the vampires and the showdown as well which has a lot of fun times together during the change-overs between the two scenes. These make it quite entertaining but overall somewhat flawed.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.

A couple of centuries after defeating Kagan, the female vampire-human hybrid Rayne is now trekking across the Wild West, slaughtering any vampire she crosses. But she meets her match in Billy the Kid, a fearsome vampire gunslinger who has taken over the town of Deliverance with his army of vampire cowboys. Sensing that she'll need to get some help to kill these bloodsuckers, Rayne seeks out some bad hombres to help her in her mission.BloodRayne was the third video game adaptation that Uwe Boll had made in his career. The film became a laughing stock due to its poorly written script, ill-thought out story & the fascinating image of once-great actors effortlessly destroying their good reputations (namely Ben Kingsley) by appearing in trash like this. What nobody expected was for the film to get a sequel, let alone two of them. But that is what happened here.The film is a surprise for a sequel to a cheap trashfest that almost everybody hates. But Boll, who has actually got some talent up his sleeve, manages to do a better job than what he did two years before. Here he makes a vampire western with Natassia Malthe filling in for Kristanna Loken & doing a better job of it too. She actually makes the character of Rayne much more believable here than Loken's efforts. Michael Pare (the only actor to appear in all three current BloodRayne films) has a more substantial part here while Zack Ward does his best vampire impression as the villain. On the other hand, Michael Eklund is so OTT as the preacher that you wonder if he's been on an all-night acid bender before showing up for filming.But while the story is slightly more substantial than the original, BloodRayne: Deliverance is still a mediocre film. It has some shootouts but these are marred by Boll's insistence on using slow-motion for stylistic effect, something that makes no sense. I'm not particularly enthused on vampires being killed by bullets that have been rubbed in garlic (making cross-shaped marks on their bullets would have been more effective – if it worked for George Clooney, it will work here!) but the film does a slightly reasonable job in selling that idea forward.

But it's got BIlly the Kid as a vampire, I mean, come on, how seriously could such a movie take itself? From the unabashedly spaghetti-western style soundtrack during the titles, and the opening scene with the "dude" arriving in town and proclaiming in wide-eyed wonder "Deliverance, the wild west, this is it," then almost immediately saying "Howdy, Tex" to a complete stranger, it should be quite apparent that the movie makers intended to have fun with this one. I went into this one with no expectations at all. I am not familiar with the Bloodrayne franchise; I have never played any of the games or seen any of the "graphic novels," so there was nothing here to disappoint me by being "non-canonical." I thought it was a great cheesy romp of a movie. I'm sure the fanboys disagree. Oh well. Taken on its own, it is quite entertaining.The soundtrack by Jessica de Rooij is wonderful throughout, by the way, something I could easily believe Moricone had written. If you are the sort of person who appreciates movies like the original cowboys and aliens movie, "Oblivion," or just plain absurd westerns like "Lust in the Dust," you will probably like this one. Just don't watch it with someone who is a fan of the franchise.
