Underworld - The dark side of Twilight

There was a time (somewhere before 2008 I believe) where if you mentioned vampires fighting werewolves, you would instantly think of the Underworld saga. Sadly, vampires started to twinkle and werewolves used to run around topless and Selene and her Underworld buddies were forced to take a backseat.

However, if you're bored of vampires gazing at each other longingly and only breathing through their noses, then you may still enjoy watching the two undead races slug it out with guns. Think `Resident Evil' only darker and better.

Underworld tells the story of a vampire assassin (or `Death Dealer' as they're called) who, during her war with the werewolves (or `lycans' to use the technical term) falls in love with a human who may just be destined to play a bigger part in both races' lives.

It's dark like The Crow, has fight scenes like `The Matrix' and, if you're a guy, Kate Beckinsale running around in skintight rubber. If any of that sounds like you're cup of tea, then you'll probably enjoy Underworld. Amazingly, two decent sequels were also spawned off the back of this (and a fourth instalment that can be taken or left, depending on taste). Either way, give it a go - it's what vampires and werewolves were supposed to be before they used to go to high school together.

9/10 almost as perfect as The Godfather
