BloodRayne:The Third Reich is actually the best out of the three.The Third Reich has plenty of nudity,blood,and gore that will keep any fan of the Bloodrayne movies very satisfied.I am one of the biggest BloodRayne fans in the world between having both video games,all three movies,and a tattoo of BloodRayne on my back and can say even with all the so-called flaws that people have pointed out I still liked this movie very much.The nazi's believe that if they can use Rayne's blood they can create a unstoppable force of nazi vampires to win the war and take over the world.Rayne meets up with a resistance group that shares the same dislike of the nazi force.When she impales the nazi commander through the heart she spills some of her blood on him and he becomes a vampire himself.Rayne must now stop him and the nazi's with the help of the resistance before they reach Berlin to grant Hitler immortality.There are two main sex scenes with BloodRayne having a lesbian sex scene while towards the end she has a romp with the resistance leader.Natassia has one of the best looking body's around with some of the best cleavage you'll ever see.I know most people consider this a B movie along with the other two,but if you are a true fan of BloodRayne you will take the good with the bad and still appreciate BloodRayne being one sexy as hell,nazi slicing,kick-ass half vampire half human vixen that will set your heart racing.BloodRayne Rocks!!!

At best, BloodRayne: The Third Reich is a silly bit of alternate history hokum as the Nazis hope vampirism will help make them the master race. That being said, the action sequences are fairly well-executed and appropriately visceral with plenty of the red stuff splashing about. BloodRayne probably won't win Boll any new fans but it is a harmless time waster that should be a SyFy Channel staple in no time.

"Making of BloodRayne: The Third Reich" is a fairly amusing look at the mad methods of Uwe Boll and the cast and crew that love him. Clearly the actors are aware of the kind of film they're doing and don't take it too seriously. Say what you will about Boll but he comes across as a savvy filmmaker who knows what he wants.

In "Interview with the Writer," Michael Nachoff talks about his work on the film. He did a little bit of historical research but basically saw Rayne as a gunslinger akin to Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven (1992). Nachoff also talks about his writing routine, rewriting, and so on.

Also included are the official and alternate trailers.

Finally, there is an audio commentary by director Uwe Boll and writer Michael Nachoff. As you would imagine, Boll dominates the track and does not disappoint. He always envisioned a trilogy with this film set in World War II much like the video game. Unlike the Underworld and Resident Evil films, Boll didn't want to simply repeat what he had done before and instead tackle different genres with each installment. Not afraid to speak his mind, the director dishes on the two lead actors hooking up during filming and why he couldn't cast Kristanna Loken (she wanted too much money) in this film. He also criticizes the tough working conditions on all three films (i.e. a drunken Michael Madsen on the first one and a train station blowing up in the second one) on this admittedly amusing and entertaining track.

In looking at the DVD box I wonder if Bloodrayne was wearing any panties, after watching the "B" quality movie, I guess the answer is "No." Natassia Malthe, being a dancer by trade is a natural for the graceful moves of Bloodrayne. However the movie has moved into solid "B" territory. Perhaps the biggest disappointment was Clint Howard in his role as Dr. Mangler. What was that accent? Could his lines and acting have been worse without being campy?

After a very quick introduction as to who is Bloodrayne (BR), the movie jumps quickly into a fight scene with BR helping the "resistance" kill Nazis. The resistance don't have any accents, so it if hard to tell who they are, but they cook things slowly like the French. During the fight a Nazi gets a taste of BR's blood and becomes a vampire himself. BR has a nightmare where a Hitler with a large Jewish nose bites her.

The ending was a bit of a let down. Bad plot. Bad dialouge. Bad acting. Good nudity.

F-bomb, nudity, sex, cool lesbian sex.

"BloodRayne: The Third Reich" is a fairly mild 2010 film of vampire genre that has nude lesbian cunnilingus, several open displays of bordello sweater meat, a ninja style woman who eviscerates enemies via swords or knives, and has a very interesting version of an optional way for beheading a vampire. The gore is not all that impressive for a seasoned veteran of any category of violent films, and the nudity more than likely is the part more for adult viewing than is the violence or gore. There's some occasional vulgar language, but nothing seems overdone except for the inclusion of Hitler's regime (German soldiers and German officers speaking flawless English with no accent or brogue whatsoever) and World War II time period, with some compelling images of anti-Semite prejudice, animus to the point of misogyny, and not much depth for the newcomer to be introduced by explanation to the BloodRayne theme. The lead protagonist is Natassia Malthe, as BloodRayne, the dhampir. The creepiest thing about this film is Clint Howard, who has been in films, TV series, and the theater since the 1950's (over 200 production titles for his appearances). He plays an egocentric, myopic, experimentation surgeon in "BloodRayne: The Third Reich." But there's really not much overall substance here for a contemporary offering, and I'm guessing censorship must have left the majority of the good stuff on the cutting room floor. The villains are easy to hate, and the heroine easy to appreciate; but for this to be acclaimed as the best of the three BloodRayne films, writer Michael Nachoff and director Use Boll need some serious creativity here. They have incredibly beautiful sets to work with (filmed in Croatia), and beautiful women too. This film cannot be given more than 3 stars, and that is generously given based upon the gratuitous displays of eye candy. Ten million dollar production budgets don't buy much for films these days, but I'm guessing Natassia Malthe has a promising future in her acting career (I know I'd like to see her again). I'm a visual fan of the BloodRayne genre, and have no interest in the books or video games, therefore my opinion of the film is independent of any long term multi-exposure to otherwise provided details separate from the DVD inside this artwork wrapped plastic case. I have to agree with a few reviews I've seen that say this film is destined for B-movie cult fan base bins for campy stuff that mixed the beautiful with the ugly, the pleasure with the torture, and fairly good acting with really, really horrible acting. Could have been great if the mix was kept closer together instead of the extreme ends of the spectrum. Horse feces and perfectly outdoor grilled steak side-by-side on the same plate don't make for an appetizing meal.

Much more in keeping with the videogame upon which this franchise is based, this third adventure takes the action to Nazi Europe of World War Two, and for fans of these films, of which apparently there aren't too many, this is indeed a good one. Uwe Boll's BLOODRAYNE movies are very much like modern-day HAMMER horror films, some better than others, and this latest R-rated, bloody spectacle offers all thrills possible.

As far as the videogame origins, this movie excels at recreating the look and style of the game itself, and although the story has been altered once again, the spirit of the videogame (finally!) is alive and well. Michael Pare (remember THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT?) returns from the last BloodRayne, this time playing a completely different character, and the sexy Natassia Malthe is quite good as Rayne herself, no longer the "new girl" in the role. Unfortunately, if you are not a fan or player of the BLOODRAYNE videogame, chances are this thing will not appeal to you. Those interested, however, can delight in seeing the sexiest, best BLOODRAYNE yet, blending Nazis and vampires into a thrilling mix. Keeps it short, too, with a running time under 90 minutes.

Ok I really did not care for the first Bloodrayne or the second, so why did I watch the third? Well the third movie finally falls into the nazi era like the video game, which in itself to me was a plus. This is a typical B movie action/horror and fans of the genre will most likely enjoy watching this for the "B" factor. I feel this is the best of the three movies and it is watchable and somewhat enjoyable without being painful. This an ok movie and nothing more, its nazis, vampires and blood, what more could you want. With a little more effort Bloodrayne 3 should have been as great as the cover looks. -=Parents use caution when allowing children to view this film there is some strong sexual material=-

This was a mediocre vampire flick; badly paced with mediocre writing, and apparently shot on a restricted budget. It's not bad enough to write off completely but it's not good enough to keep you from leaving the room for a sandwich. The premise of a dhampire in action against evil during WW II is good enough but the combat isn't compelling nor are any of the characters.

I expected better and was disappointed.

This movie was only 79 minutes long. Lots of Nazi's were killed, a few vampires were killed. Lots of blood. Sex scenes for everyone. Well, there were 2. All in all if you have some spare time at night, this is an ok movie to watch. I know who directed it. The second movie put me to sleep and the first movie wasnt much better. I personally liked this one best of all three. Which isnt saying a lot and is saying a lot all at the same time.

All-right, people can say I'm crazy but the Bloodrayne movie series rocks just as the games do (look out for the upcoming Bloodrayne: The Shroud video game). Each movie has a different time setting, but this one is by far the most interesting. Any little mistake, such as over-the-top silliness with gore, or slow pacing, has been corrected from prior movie mistakes.

This one also is most like the games, but almost takes the material slightly more seriously with shots of Nazi's and Hitler looking like documentary stock footage. The general "Ekhart Brand" holds a lot of elements from various generals in "Bloodrayne" the video game. The look of the film is very well done, from the costumes, especially Rayne's, who gets several different, well-designed outfits.

For random elements, Bloodrayne has a love interest who doesn't leave or die, Nazi's are killed endlessly, Bloodrayne makes out with a lesbian gypsie, and more Nazi's die. A scientist resembling real-life Adolf Hitler's doctor is ever-present and very wierd.

Both Uwe Boll and Paul W.S. Anderson deserve much credit for jumpstarting video-game to film, and they still both hold the best video-game franchises: Bloodrayne and Resident Evil respectively. Also look out for upcoming "Resident Evil: Retribution" in Sept. 2012, as well as Uwe Boll's "In THe Name Of The King: 2 Worlds" and even a promised "Bloodrayne4!"

I just got a blu-ray player, and so far this is the best looking blu-ray film I've seen. The sharpness and colors are incredible. I expected a lot of graphic violence because of the picture on the box with Rayne sporting those two big swords, but the fight scenes involve no dismemberments and just one instance of a victim losing his head--usually Rayne swings her sword at a victim from behind and the guy falls with a lot of blood squirting out. Probably the limited budget prevented the violence from being more graphic. Michael Pare and Clint Howard as the demented doctor give excellent performances. Natassia Malthe looks great in one scene where she's wearing a thin pink short satin robe at a bordello and she goes upstairs to beat up a client who is hitting one of the prositutes. The plot which involves Nazis and vampires is something you might expect to see on Elvira's movie macabre.
