Underworld: Blood Wars

Underworld: Blood Wars continues the conflict between the vampire and Lycan clans through Selene, the death dealer played by Kate Beckinsale. Having been betrayed by the vampire faction she once served, she finds herself hunted by both sides, with only David and his father Thomas standing beside her. To end the long-running war between the two species, she must take a path that demands the greatest sacrifice of her existence. The film was directed by Anna Foerster, her first feature behind the camera, followed years later by Lou. Cory Goodman wrote the screenplay, and Tom Rosenberg, Len Wiseman and Gary Lucchesi produced. The cast includes Theo James, Tobias Menzies, Lara Pulver, Bradley James and Peter Andersson, among 46 credited performers supported by 101 credited crew members. The film is an American production from Lakeshore Entertainment, Screen Gems and Sketch Films, running 91 minutes across the action, fantasy, horror, science fiction and thriller genres.

Released in late 2016, the film had a budget of 35 million USD and took in about 81 million USD worldwide, a return that outweighed its production cost without reaching the scale of a major franchise hit. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.8 from roughly 86,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 5.9 from about 4,000 votes. A critics' rating of 4 out of 10 from 96 reviews places it clearly below both audience scores, indicating that viewers were somewhat more tolerant of the film than reviewers were.
