The 2006 movie BloodRayne belongs to a number of subgenres: It’s a vampire movie, a video game adaptation, a medieval action picture, and one of those low-budget movies featuring an extremely low-impact performance from an Academy Award winner. But more than any of that, BloodRayne is a January movie (derogatory). If a solid pulp thriller like The Commuter or The Beekeeper is the platonic ideal of a January movie in terms of quality, BloodRayne, first released in North America on Jan. 6, is the platonic ideal of a January movie in terms of artistic and financial failure.
BloodRayne just turned 20, but its awfulness is forever
