Goofs:

Continuity: In the scene where Billy the Kid bites the girl laying on his lap, the bite marks and blood (when viewed from girl's right profile) are located in the center of the throat. A few seconds later, when viewed from above, the bite marks and blood have moved 2 or 3 inches to the left.

Quotes:

Mayor Holden: Miss, you don't know WHAT you're dealing with!
Rayne: Well, then that's fair 'cause neither do they.

Spin off from Bloodrayne 2 (2004) (VG)

How bad is a movie when Michael Pare is the best actor in it?

Bad. Pretty bad. Awfully bad. Horrendously bad. Spectacularly bad. Uwe Boll bad.

This is only the second Uwe Boll movie I've seen all the way through. The first one was "BloodRayne", which I actually thought wasn't as bad as its reputation. This one, however, is in a class by itself. Actually, it's more like a species by itself. Everything about this movie is lousy. You name it, this movie sucks at it. The "acting" is either comatose or so over the top it belongs in a 1912 melodrama. Boll, for some reason, suddenly changes "direction" and goes for a spaghetti western feel--all twanging guitar background music, long (long, long, long . . . ) takes, extreme close-ups of squinting eyes, twitching lips and bad teeth, and slow-motion "action" scenes, and it doesn't work at all. Also working against it is an absolutely idiotic "script"--for lack of a better word--and a shaky camera (another poster rightly noted that steadicams were invented for a reason, which has apparently escaped Boll's notice).

The actress who replaced the blonde in the first "BloodRayne", who wasn't particularly good to begin with, isn't even up to her standards. But this is a Uwe Boll film, which means it isn't up to ANYBODY'S standards. Like I said, this is the second Uwe Boll film I actually sat through. It's almost certain to be the last. Avoid this stinker at all costs.
