Day 11 of 13 Days of Halloween

The Underworld Series

     I'm not going to review each of the movies separately because there are four of them and I would be saying almost the same thing about each of them. I really like these movies a lot. That being said, a really weird thing these movies do is have memories be stored and shared through blood. That never gets explained. I just want to know how or why that is a thing.

     The main reason why I like these films is how they portray vampires. First off, vampires don't sparkle! They, in these films, burn up in sunlight or exposure to UV radiation. They don't burst in to flames, but experience the same effect as being set on fire. They also don't need to kill people for food because they invented/help fund research for cloned blood. 

     The other reason is the werewolves. They are huge and like to fight. The werewolves can be killed by silver and some of the older ones can change at will. The rest still have to wait for the full moon.

     An interesting addition to the lore is a reason for the blood feud between werewolves and vampires. This how mess started because one of the vampire elders hates werewolves and enslaved them. The werewolves didn't like that. The other cool addition is that of a common ancestor to both vampires and werewolves. This immortal can make a vampire a day-walker if they drink his blood.

Series Rating: 4.5/5
