The
Underworld series gets the prequel treatment with this third outing that fleshes out the story of the ancient war between the vampiric Death Dealers and their werewolf counterparts, the Lycans. F/X technician Patrick Tatopoulos (
Godzilla,
Independence Day) steps out of the effects lab and into the director's chair with this entry, which sees stars
Michael Sheen and
Bill Nighy returning, with series newcomer
Rhona Mitra also joining the cast. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
