True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Haven Kaycee
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

BLOODRAYNE was bad enough as it was, but BLOODRAYNE 2: DELIVERANCE is something else. Another godawful horror flick directed by German 'auteur' Uwe Boll, this singularly fails as a film thanks to the absolutely excruciating production values, or rather lack of them.There isn't much link to the first film aside from the titular character; even Kristanna Loken doesn't return, replaced instead by the instantly forgettable Natassia Malthe. The story has been removed from its medieval origins and instead takes place in a western town and the whole film is full of western clichés. There's some very small novelty from seeing Michael Pare playing Pat Garrett but the rest of the film is dull of long, dull dialogues and very little in the way of horror or action.Even worse, for some reason Boll decides to shoot 95% of this film at night, in almost pitch black scenes with very little lighting. Thus much of the action (and the characters) remain almost invisible for long stretches of time. Needless to say that the script is a mess relying on clichés to get by, and the use of a 10 second piece of music over and over and OVER again is exceptionally annoying!

I played BloodRayne video game for PC long before the first movie was released, so I can criticize Deliverance not only as a movie spectator, but as a fan of the original character too. Unfortunately, Deliverance is a disaster in any way you look at it.I think we could use some information from BloodRayne PC Manual, to have an idea of who Rayne really are, and to reaffirm just how ridiculous this Deliverance movie is: "In 1932 an American teenage girl was apprehended in Europe after carving a path of destruction trying to track down and kill her biological father. The girl's name was Rayne and she claimed the people she killed, and her father who was still at large, were vampires.Before more information was attained, the girl disappeared.That girl is a Dhampir; a product of her human mother's rape by her vampire father. Born with powers of a vampire without all of the weaknesses. She was taken in by an underground organization calling themselves the Brimstone Society--a top-secret fraternity that hunts down and destroys supernatural threats. Agent BloodRayne, as she is now known, protects humanity from things that ordinary people shouldn't have to deal with.In the years between the World Wars, Agent BloodRayne works as a killing machine for The Brimstone Society. Two missions, five years apart, turn out to be connected by one man. For years, this man has been searching the world for powerful occult artifacts to bring Germany into a new age of domination. Agent BloodRayne must face this man's elite Nazi army to prevent them from releasing creatures of unfathomable terror onto the world in their unwavering quest for the artifacts." Humans are able to do amazing things, but this potential can also be used to construct horrible aberrations. The original game plot isn't brilliant, but it's very OK for an action game. I'm sure someone competent could have adapted BloodRayne history for an excellent movie. This was successfully done before with other games, pleasing both movie critics and video game fans. However, Deliverance plot is so boring, foreseeable and idiot, that normal people will have serious problems to reach the end of the movie without skip.There are many other problems, like the uncountable disgraceful clichés. This movie has the same American Old West, with the same gunmen and the classic wild preacher! This time with some crazy vampires that are not vampires at all! Billy the Kid?! WTF!? And how about the ridiculous toothpick from Rayne? Furthermore, soundtrack is awful, visual effects and fighting scenes are very poor, actors aren't convincing...Natassia Malthe is indeed a beautiful actress, but she was wasted in a shameful character. In the video games or comic books Rayne is portrayed like a sexy, strong female character, but in Deliverance she's just an idiot kid, always acting over the top. Besides, in the movie Rayne is weak and doesn't seem to have vampire supernatural powers. I think the only moment in which Malthe looked like Rayne was the sexy scene when she seduces a gunman to immobilize him in bed. Nevertheless, considering her superpowers, it's unlikely that real Rayne would act like this, but we can't affirm this is an impossible scenery as well.In short, words can't describe how bad this movie is. It is a disaster. We can only imagine why Majesco allowed a movie like this. They should have more respect for their own creations. First BloodRayne movie was very bad, but Deliverance is worse. Do not waste your time or money with this aberration.I suggest you all to ignore this movie and to give Rayne another shot, in video games or comics!

While i enjoyed the first Bloodrayne i think this sequel falls through completely. Every flaw of the first one is repeated here and made worse.Every bit of dialogue seems "out of sync" with what the movie is supposed to be. It simply takes away any chance of building intensity. The script is thinner than the paper it was written on. Cinematography is absolute crap, i'm guessing it suffers from low budget but definitely also from lack of vision. It does seem to want to recreate the feeling from certain old Sergio Leone western classics but fails so miserably at that and to the point where i can understand if some individuals would take offense. Throughout the movie every sequence is so slow paced it feels like the movie is made in slow motion. A proper director's cut would last 30 minutes at best.Strangely i feel that the score actually works. It's like its supposed to be even if the movie isn't.Most of the acting is poor but i think it's mainly due to bad script and bad dialogue. No actor in the world would be able to make a difference here. Unlike others i find the Billy the Kid character to work out fine, in fact both him and his crew manages to be nasty and unlikable like they should be. I find it hard to say much about Natassia Malthe because the script really doesn't produce sequences where she or anyone else would be allowed to shine much. There are a few scenes where she shows she could probably do it if she had something to work with.All in all not THE worst movie i've ever seen - but it comes close.

Number one, changing Rayne's actress was a huge mistake. Two, the storyline was excruciatingly slow and beyond unbelievable. We waited and waited for something to happen... what happened to Rayne? At the end of the first movie, it appeared as if she had obtained all three Talismans, which would have made her the most powerful vampire (albeit a Damphyr), but in the second movie she was weak and stupid. Come on, after centuries of fighting vampires, you would think the fights would be a lot more interesting and believable. If anyone asked if they should watch this movie, I would tell them to either run like hell or if they are into being tortured, to go ahead and watch it. It is not worth the money. We were EXTREMELY disappointed.
