Based on the Majesco video-game, entitled ‘Bloodrayne.’
Bloodrayne is a redhead Dhamypre, wearing a cross: “who only wants to kill vampires,” as she asserts in an early sequence in the movie, which contains strange creatures and traps, associated with the game, the film is loosely based on.
She is in pursuit of the vampire who raped and killed her Mother Rayne is informed, by a tarot-reading gypsy (Geraldine Chaplin.)
There is throughout the movie, the necessary gore quotient and copious blood-letting, as Rayne bands with Vladimir (Michael Madsen) Sebastian (Matt Davis) and Katarin (Michelle Rodriguez) in Brimstone, a secret organization, to aid her in the quest to find the three talismans of Vampire legend: and kill Kagan, who wants to join them for his own purpose, power.
‘Bloodrayne’
Comments:
As my friend John had said, “It has to be good, Michael Madsen is in it.” Then again, he also asked me, “Have you ever seen a film where Michael Madsen lives?”
As to Ben Kingsely? (or, ‘Ghandi’) what more can I say about one of Britain’s foremost actors? Except, he excelled as Kagan, the Vampire Father of Bloodrayne.
Incidentally, Meatloaf, the singer has a role in the film, as a somewhat salacious Vampire, surrounded by naked young women.
As I noted his name in the cast list, I noted the surname he used, ‘Aday.’
