The third and hopefully final film in the abysmal “BloodRayne” series from Uwe Boll (“Postal”, “Alone In The Dark”). Boll is so self-obsessed that even shot the parody film “Blubberella” while making this one and utilising many of the same cast members and the sets. “BloodRayne: The Third Reich” (also known as “The Blood Reich – BloodRayne 3”) is so bad that you’ll wish you were doing almost anything else.
This instalment takes place during WWII and apparently, this one comes closer to following the videogames than the previous entries in the series. However, I’ve never played the games and I have no desire to after seeing any of the movies. We follow Rayne (Natassia Malthe “Elektra”, “Lake Placid”) as she wages war on the Nazis.
Rayne is a vampire that shows off plenty of cleavage as she cuts her way through countless Nazi soldiers. The character is so unlikeable as boring that you won’t care about the cleavage or how many Nazis she murders. Clint Howard (“Little Nicky”, “Carnosaur”) is used to appearing in bad films so fits right in here. The other characters are so boring that it becomes very hard to find anything even remotely engaging in this complete disaster of a movie.
It’s like “Underworld” but somehow even worse. Boll is from Germany and seems to love doing films about Nazis as he’s also directed other films about them including “Auschwitz”. Nazis are often used as a cheap way to get audiences interested as they are so controversial. The film also contains lots of gore and nudity. It is so clear that Boll is all about reeling in the audiences with shock value but has no skill to make anything worth actually watching. The first “BloodRayne” movie was truly bad so this is flogging a horse that was never alive.
