The sequel to the $100 million world-wide hit, Underworld: Evolution continues the saga of war between the aristocratic Death Dealers and the barbaric Lycans (werewolves). The film traces the beginnings of the ancient feud between the two tribes as Selene (Kate Beckinsale), the beautiful vampire heroine, and Michael (Scott Speedman), the lycan hybrid, try to unlock the secrets of their bloodlines. The fast-paced, modern-day tale of deadly action, ruthless intrigue and forbidden love takes them into the battle to end all wars as the immortals must finally face their retribution.

Even though Underworld: Evolution is a well-made supernatural horror film there were a lot of people in the cinema audience who kept laughing. Sure, seeing a werewolf's jaw ripped off is hilarious but the gore should make you go ewww, not ahaha. Perhaps it's because modern cinemagoers are inured to graphic violence. Perhaps it's because Computer Generated Imagery is so good that no-one believes anything they see. Perhaps it's an expression of enjoyment rather than happiness. Go and see so you can find out for yourself.
