One of my all time favorites.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
While i enjoyed the first Bloodrayne i think this sequel falls through completely. Every flaw of the first one is repeated here and made worse.Every bit of dialogue seems "out of sync" with what the movie is supposed to be. It simply takes away any chance of building intensity. The script is thinner than the paper it was written on. Cinematography is absolute crap, i'm guessing it suffers from low budget but definitely also from lack of vision. It does seem to want to recreate the feeling from certain old Sergio Leone western classics but fails so miserably at that and to the point where i can understand if some individuals would take offense. Throughout the movie every sequence is so slow paced it feels like the movie is made in slow motion. A proper director's cut would last 30 minutes at best.Strangely i feel that the score actually works. It's like its supposed to be even if the movie isn't.Most of the acting is poor but i think it's mainly due to bad script and bad dialogue. No actor in the world would be able to make a difference here. Unlike others i find the Billy the Kid character to work out fine, in fact both him and his crew manages to be nasty and unlikable like they should be. I find it hard to say much about Natassia Malthe because the script really doesn't produce sequences where she or anyone else would be allowed to shine much. There are a few scenes where she shows she could probably do it if she had something to work with.All in all not THE worst movie i've ever seen - but it comes close.
BloodRayne II: Deliverance is set in the small American frontier town of Deliverance during the Wild West of the late nineteenth Century where a Vampire Billy the Kid (Zack Ward) & his posse of Vampire cowboys have taken all the children in Deliverance hostage to control the adults. Half human half Vampire all Vampire killer Rayne (Natassia Malthe) arrives in Delivarance looking for Vampires to kill & learns of Billy the Kid's plan to use the railroad that will soon go through Deliverance to spread Vampirism throughout the US. Rayne teams up with lawman Pat Garret (Micheal Paré) to stop Billy the Kid & his Vampire henchmen...This Canadian German co-production was executive produced & directed by Uwe Boll, now anyone with any real interest in the horror genre will have heard of German filmmaker Boll & will probably know that many consider him the worst director ever & his films are the worst ever which I think is total rubbish. There are far worse filmmakers out there & just by looking at some of the comments & reviews on the net that really put the knife into Boll I personally think it's more to do with people's dislike of Boll rather than the merits of any particular film he has been involved with. Anyway, I don't think that BloodRayne II: Deliverance is a particularly good film but it's not too bad, the script mixes horror & western with a touch of historical as well since it actually uses real life people from the time including outlaw Billy the Kid & lawman Pat Garret although it obviously doesn't try to present them in any factual light. I suppose my main problem with BloodRayne II: Deliverance would be that it's too average, sure it tells a decent enough story at a fairly sedate pace & it passes the time but I only saw it last night & I can barely remember anything about it. The film could also have used a few more set-pieces or just big moments because as it is BloodRayne II: Deliverance just feels a little shallow & empty despite a fairly fun if silly plot.Boll does a reasonable directing job here, he manages to mix the classic Vampire horror & western imagery quite nicely & while the two seem at odds with each other it does sort of work. The action is mostly confined to some shoot-outs & slow motion fights, the shoot-outs could have been edited better as it's sometimes hard to tell who is shooting at who & where they are in relation to each other while the fights are too short. There's not much gore here, there's a slashed throat, some blood splatter & that's about it. One of the few films in which children are killed. The computer game BloodRayne 2 on which this was apparently based is very different & the two share no real similarities plot wise as the computer game is set during World War II.The IMDb reckons this had a budget of about $10,000,000 which I think is total rubbish, there's no way this cost that much. The production values are alright, the special effects are good & it's well made save for some disappointingly flat action scenes. Filmed in British Columbia in Canada.None of the cast from the original BloodRayne (2005) are present & Rayne herself has been recast, obviously for her looks rather than acting ability.BloodRayne II: Deliverance is a film which will get panned on the IMDb & other sites because of who directed it rather than the merits of the film itself, sure it ain't no masterpiece but I can fifty low budget straight to video horror films which are much worse than this. Just about worth a watch I suppose but nothing special. Uwe Boll is currently working on BloodRayne 3: Warhammer (2010).
After watching the first movie in this installment, I thought to myself "well isn't this the worst movie I've ever seen." So why would I then watch the second movie? I thought it wasn't possible for a movie to get any worse...I was wrong, dead wrong. This has officially become the worst movie, no worst visual media presentation I have ever in my life seen. The acting was even worse than the first movie, the plot senseless. It has become the biggest waste of my life thus far. Seriously, why would you set a vampire movie in the old wild west? WHY? And truly...why make such a weak and pathetic heroine, with no idea as to strategy or how to save lives. This film was so bad, I'm considering recommending it to everyone I know just so I can inflict the pain that I had to suffer onto them. It really is that bad.
The fact that the original Bloodrayne wasn't received with a cheer they decided to make a second part. We already know that it is tricky to make a franchise out of a movie, mostly the second part can't do what the first part did. Sometimes the second part is better than the first and sometimes the second part has nothing to do with the first part. Guess what, this second part has nothing in common with the first part, even Rayne is played by another actress. The only thing that refers to the first part is a necklace. Where did it go wrong, first with the DVD cover, you see Rayne in a sexy outfit, well, she never wears it in the movie. but the worst thing is the script, suddenly we are in the wild west. Not exactly a place were you would suspect a vampire. That alone, the wild west, could have been used to make an original movie but it isn't the script that is extremely bad, they also make use of real names like Billy the Kid who is a vampire, can it get worser. Billy is hunted by Pat Garret, a fact, but he is a vampire hunter. Man, this is trash. Billy a vampire, be real, do they think we go for it? And to get it worser out of the blue comes Rayne to help Pat. Anyway, no gore or bloody scenes, just one slash, the rest of the Billy the Kid gang is shot down, even Rayne doesn't use her anti vampire weapons that much. I just couldn't believe that they could make such a flick. If you want to see the wild west in horror watch Ghostttown instead
