Synopsis: When human forces discover the existence of the Vampire and Lycan clans, a war to eradicate both species commences. The vampire warrioress Selene leads the battle against humankind.

Reaction: Some intriguing concepts, but overall, it doesn't feel quite as well developed as the original. Some nice action sequences, though.

Personal Rating: 5/10
