Rating: 4/5 Blood Moon

Kate Beckinsale returns as Selene in Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire, a film that serves as both a sequel and a soft reboot for the long-running franchise.

The film picks up decades after the events of Underworld: Blood Wars. Selene has been living in hiding, trying to escape the endless war between vampires and lycans. But when a new faction of vampires emerges—one that rejects the old ways and seeks to dominate both species—Selene must come out of retirement to stop them.

Beckinsale is as fierce as ever, slipping back into the leather catsuit like no time has passed. The action is stylish and brutal, with a sequence in a rain-soaked Prague that rivals anything in the franchise. The new villain (a chilling performance) adds fresh tension. The film explores themes of legacy and redemption, giving Selene a worthy send-off.

The Verdict: A satisfying return for a beloved franchise. Selene is back, and she’s still kicking ass.

Final Thought: Vampires vs. lycans. Some wars never end. Some warriors never rest.
