In which Bloodrayne sucks. No, REALLY sucks. Would Howard Tayler lie to you?

Seen quoted in Howard Tayler's Blógünder Schlock:

…I’ve been reading Schlock for 6 or 7 years now and I’ve often followed your advice about sci-fi authors, web comics, and movies.  But once I didn’t.  You wrote a review for the movie “Bloodrayne.”  Scathing doesn’t even begin to describe it.  I decided to buy it (not rent, but buy), watch it, and try to find something redeeming about it.  I couldn’t.  My friends and I even invented a drinking game we thought would make it help.  We called it “Drink Until Bloodrayne Doesn’t Suck.”  We lost.  It was still horrible.

Some people just won't listen to warnings.  :)

I actually consider BloodRayne to be Uwe Boll's *best* movie. Unlike most of his other atrocities, he didn't make an awful movie from a good game; he made a movie that quality-wise is arguably an *improvement* over the source material.

BloodRayne's development team seemed to have gone by the reasoning "Who needs good gameplay, intelligent level design or anything else? It would be cheaper just to increase the number of red pixels by an order of magnitude."

What annoyed me even more is that this tactic apparently worked in a certain (early 20s, and presumably teen, males) demographic: "OMG IT'S SO GORY AND BRUTAL!"
