My favorite vampire movie of all time is Underworld. I love the plot of all three of the Underworld movies. Underworld draws you in with the battle of the vampires vs. the Lycans, as well as the vampire vs. vampire battle.
I love that Underworld is one of the more high tech modern vampire movies. Underworld hits you with past, present, and future of the characters so you get a taste of their lives.
You learn about how Selene’s past connects to Victor and his daughter Sonja. Sonja was in love with Lucian the first Lycan. A Lycan is a werewolf who can take human form, and can turn at his or her will. Sonja was condemned to death by her father. She was also pregnant with the first vampire/Lycan hybrid.
Which brings in to play Selene who was “taken in” by Victor; Selene falls in love with Michael Corvin after saving him from the lycans.
Michael Corvin has a special blood line and he was being hunted by Lucian. Lucian and Selene bite Michael Corvin and turns him into a the first Vampire/Lycan hybrid.
