“The night has evolved — and so have its monsters.”

After years of silence and speculation, Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire marks a bold resurrection of the legendary franchise. It’s darker, sleeker, and more mythic than any chapter before, blending gothic fantasy with futuristic action in a story about rebirth, revenge, and the future of immortality.

Plot & Setting

The film opens decades after Blood Wars. The Lycans have been nearly wiped out, and humans — armed with genetic weaponry — are hunting both species. Selene, long thought dead, reawakens in a world where vampires hide in secret underground colonies, fractured and leaderless.

When a mysterious young vampire claiming to be the heir of the original coven rises to power, Selene is forced back into battle — not just to protect her kind, but to uncover a hidden truth about her own bloodline.

The story dives deep into vampire mythology, revealing secrets about the ancient First Bloodline and a new breed of evolved vampires immune to sunlight — “Dayborn.”

Selene Returns — Stronger Than Ever

Kate Beckinsale reprises her role with timeless power and elegance. Selene is colder, wiser, and deadlier than ever, yet beneath the armor lies a haunting melancholy. Her performance balances the brutality of a warrior with the fragility of someone who has lost everything but still refuses to die.

Newcomer Toby Regbo (as Lucian’s descendant, now leading a hybrid resistance) brings emotional complexity, while Eva Green steals every scene as the mysterious high priestess of a forgotten vampire sect.

Action & Visuals

Director Anna Foerster (returning from Blood Wars) crafts a stunning visual experience — a fusion of cyberpunk neon and gothic decay.

The film’s action sequences are jaw-dropping:

• A high-speed chase through snow-covered catacombs lit only by ultraviolet flares

• A rain-soaked rooftop duel where silver bullets form halos of steam

• A final, blood-drenched confrontation in a cathedral half-submerged in fire

The choreography blends brutal realism with balletic grace — every slash, leap, and gunshot feels choreographed to symphonic chaos.

Themes & Tone

Rise of the Vampire isn’t just about war — it’s about evolution.
It questions what it means to be immortal in a world that has moved on, and whether ancient creatures can survive in the age of science and extinction.

The tone is brooding, poetic, and philosophical — more Blade Runner meets Dracula than traditional action-horror.

Score & Atmosphere

The soundtrack, composed by Ramin Djawadi, mixes industrial beats with orchestral grandeur, amplifying the film’s mood of tragic beauty. Every sound — the hiss of blood, the hum of machinery, the whisper of wings — adds to its haunting world.

Final Verdict

Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire is a triumphant return to form — and possibly the franchise’s most emotionally mature entry yet. It delivers the blood, bullets, and beauty fans crave, while daring to explore new philosophical and genetic depths of the vampire mythos.

Rating: 4.3/5
Stylish, savage, and surprisingly soulful — the Underworld saga rises again.
