"... you're in the middle of a war that has been raging for the better part of a thousand years. A blood feud between vampires and lycans." - Selene

Why watch this? The visuals are amazing in this modern re-telling of a supernatural feud.

Plot Summary: There is a hidden war waged for centuries between aristocratic vampires and brutish Lycans. Selene, an elite vampire warrior, dedicated to exterminating the Lycans, finds herself attracted to a human, Michael, who becomes a target of the Lycans for mysterious reasons. As Selene races to protect Michael, she uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to ignite a new, even more devastating chapter in the ancient conflict.

Dad's Preview: This highly-stylized film focuses on an ongoing battle, fought unbeknownst to most people, between werewolves and vampires. Selene is a lethal vampiric Death Dealer. She discovers a young man who appears to possess characteristics of both sects. She breaks protocol and awakens Elder vampire Viktor for counsel because she does not trust their current leader, Kraven. Beckinsale shines as Selene - strong and bad-ass. Don't wait to sink your fangs into this gothic treasure.
