Film Review:

I am not a fan of vampires and I don't find them really 'romantic' or the Edward Cullen style of vampire. For me, vampires are monsters and if ever a vamp apocalypse occur, I'll still choose to become a human. Anyway, what's the connection of this to my review in Bloodrayne? First, Bloodrayne gave me the satisfaction that I want. In this film I found that vampires are evil creatures and that's what I really liked the most in the film. No offense to vampire fans out there but I enjoy it when vampires were being killed. And regarding the main character, Rayne, I can say she's awesome. She's just my type of character, not to mention that I also like redheads with matching green eyes. I can say that the actress who took the role of Rayne did a pretty good job, she portrayed her well. I also like the ending of the movie when Rayne sat on the throne after she killed Kagan and the camera zoomed in on her face, like its show that she's already the ruler and she will make a huge change.
