When my youngest daughter was 14 or 15 she was into vampires and such. I put this movie on one night and she was enthralled. About 20 minutes in she looked at me and exclaimed "How have I not seen this before?". A few days later she was in school and messaged me asking the name of it because she told a few of her friends and they all wanted to watch it. Me showing my daughter this movie turned no less than a dozen kids onto it and I think that's a great thing.
I watched ultraviolet around the time it came out. I’d forgotten how depressing the ending really is; I felt violet was probably going to die before they come up with a cure, and 6’s info might not lead to a cure at all
I kind of feel like it was almost implied like she did really die but I haven't seen it in years so I'm kind of just remembering. Which could also come out if they did a sequel D, ,
I thought she got some of his blood and got cured instead of killed like they said. Am I remembering wrong? I distinctly recall bloody tear drops getting into someone's eyes... Oh well, guess I have to watch again
@@malkeus6487 I think we all should watch it again. I was also pretty sure that they're vampires became more attractive than they were when they turned. But the blood did save the kid only for him to go and be in Twilight D, ,
The writer of the movie commented that he made the story with hits of an unused idea of Violet being Six from the future, so technically they were on a loop. Perhaps this is what he mean.
I love when vampirism is realistically depicted in fiction as a disease rather than just a supernatural curse, being "Ultraviolet" and other works like "Let the Right One In" great examples of vampirism being portrayed as a disturbing virus that most people don't want to get infected with.
Not as much as the vampires in STRAIN . I watched the entire series because of this channel. And the infection process is disgusting. Its because of a single worm and once inside multiplies in the body by the millions. Then your body parts start falling off like your hair … genitalia… ears …nose …you no longer have individual thought process. If that was real and I got infected with a worm 🪱 the second I get infected put a pillow over my face and end it for me!!!!!! 🤢 🤮
I love that you love the science fiction twist on the vampirism but in my opinion I’m kind of sick of the virus version of being a vampire, vampires are Yknow not real. There’s reason to try and rationalize them, I appreciate when stories don’t try and rationalize it with shit that doesn’t make any sense any way and just say yeah no it’s like a demon or a supernatural creature thing I have no clue.
Did y’all notice when the arch cardinal shot the hemophages, one grabbed his eye, the other his ear, and the other covered his mouth? See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil! 😊
0:28 Glad to see that there are still people who remember novelizations. It is fascinating to see the plot of a famous movie adapted into a book format, thus giving us an expanded (and even modified) version of the story. Another interesting novelization of a vampire movie is Coppola's "Dracula", written by Fred Saberhagen.
Saberhagen did a stupendous job of adapting the original book. As you pointed out so correctly. It was brilliant, tight and memorable. I honestly believe that script will never be bettered-- if somebody is trying to base a movie on the original work. How do you rate the script for "Salem's Lot"? If you've seen the 1979 TV movie..
@@krishanuA I like the 1979 miniseries, but I have to admit that the pacing of its first half is a mess, mainly because the plot of the real estate agent banging the married secretary is so unnecessarily long and serves no purpose in the end. You literally wouldn't miss anything if someone completely cut out that story arc. The 2004 adaptation has a much more balanced pacing, tbh
@@krishanuA I think both miniseries follow the book pretty faithfully, but in quite different ways. On the one hand, the 1979 miniseries is set in the same era and the characters (despite some of the book being mixed into one here and having very different fates) are pretty accurately portrayed, but the 2004 remake (despite having a completely invented opening and epilogue and being set in the present) includes many more characters and plots from the book and gives Kurt Barlow a much more faithful look and personality. Still, I highly praise the 2004 remake for the iconic "Whoever feeds you is your God" line, which isn't even in King's book.
One of my favorite movies in general even if the cgi doesn't hold up well to modern standards. It's not a masterpiece in any one area but has some of the best vampire virus ideas and technology in a scifi setting that is both realistic and fantastic. The vampire virus that is essentially a super-soldier virus with the caveat that you only get ~10 years to live is pretty fantastic. Making it super-contagious was a terrible idea and different stories could be told well in this setting or with the idea. My favorite piece of technology was both the digitally changing clothes and the bracelets that can store massive amounts material in digital form. I don't know of another show that has essentially a wearable replicator although they exist in video games.
This movie had such potential, but as he said, there were a lot of holes in the story, and it was 2006, long before Disney basically took over theaters. Haven't read the book yet, but with all the remakes being done, I'd love to see them bring this one back. Fuller story, and modern effects. Why not?
@@damiannightwalker8461 How do you get a sequel, heroine dies, bad guys die, plague is cured, world (what's left of it) lives happily ever after. I thought the effects were pretty good for 2006. Wasn't the movie released by Lionsgate... wait a sec. BRB... Sony, so Disney probably won't get its rat claws on this one.
The main character would become a black fat female, there would be a gay vampire couple with their own 20 min arc, the effects would probably suck more than they did back then... yeah no.
This is a different take on vampires for sure especially with no religious effects and that they don't live long. It's like it the virus burns up the rest of your life in 10 to 12 years keeping you cranked up to 11 lol. Thanks for the video sir!! Awesome work.
The movie isn't entirely the director's fault, the studio pushed it out the door before it was done. The effects were not completed but they were a place holder but still a fun movie. Another good vampire has Ethan hawke in the movie daybreaks
Here's a similar suggestion: HMHVV from Shadowrun. It's a biological vampire disease, but it's also borderline sapient, explicitly magical, and probably evil. The variants are also really cool. Krieger is horrible. Bruckner-lagner is wild. In general, it's got a lot of fantastic details.
the action scenes were entertaining, and yes the hair and clothing changes was one thing I forgot to mention! they never really explain how it happens in the movie lol
When i first saw this movie back in 2006 I was so confused about these vampires because I was like how are they walking in the sun are they like Blade , why aren't they drinking blood , why aren't they affected by crosses and holy objects until I got older and realized that science fiction vampires was a thing, I know the Vampires from Blade and Underworld are technically science fiction and not really supernatural but the Vampires here in Ultraviolet feel more science fiction than the vampires from both Blade and Underworld.
@@FriendlyGhost-rf7tq yeah the vampires from Blade is a weird combination of supernatural and science fiction like 50% supernatural and 50% science fiction with maybe a little bit more on the supernatural side because of LA Magra and Dracula ( Drake)
Actually if you look into folklore you'll find that the folklore vampires are different than what you think of Supernatural vampire is. Also weird stuff like vampire fruit. The other thing about the daylight thing that was added in 1922 Nosferatu. Don't you remember and Dracula which predates knots Raichu that he was able to move during the daytime?! Maybe need to watch Dracula 19 92 AKA Francis Ford Coppola Dracula D, ,😂
@@roderick8167 actually Drake could be science fiction similarly how in Underworld Alexandar Corvinus the first immortal who was just a guy who survived a plague instead of killing him it mutated in him and it now protects him Drake could be some thing like that
Its always a good day when Cogan uploads a video. Been a viewer since you had less than 1K subs and the devotion and hard work you put into the explanations and breakdowns always bring me back. This channel will always be the original Underworld channel to me. But it would be awesome if you started to breakdown Supernatural and the lore within that universe! Theres almost no RUclipsrs that breakdown Supernatural content, and there is SOOOO much that you have to breakdown. Give it a thought, and i know you would love it! Google Supernatural and youll see everything from Vampires, Demons, Poltergeists, Angels, Spirits, Norse Gods, Eve, the Alpha monsters, Wendigo, Leviathans, who were gods first monsters and SOOOO much more! I wouldnt even mind help writing breakdowns and notes for you 😁
thanks so much I really appreciate that, and thanks for sticking with the channel all this time thats amazing! I am definitely interested in expanding my content into other supernatural creatures, if you have any suggestions definitely let me know
I haven't watched this movie since I became an adult with an understanding of things. I watched this movie religiously growing up, but never understood anything that was going on really. Now I know more than I could ever have dreamed. Thank you
There was an excellent UK mini-series called Ultraviolet in the 90s, with a fantastic cast including Idris Elba. It was disappointing that they never made another series.
I've watched this movie so many times. I have the DVD and have probably since it came out. I love Milla Jovavich and vampires so it was an easy choice.
This is the video that finally got me to subscribe. I loved Ultraviolet when it came out in theaters. Milla saying over and over throughout the movie. “ I am Titan. I am Monolith, and I can kill them all.”
Her gravity leveler reminds me of the wild magic dial thing that the wizard/sorcerer in the new dungeons and dragons movies carries. It looks similar, it's also a dial that is attached at his hip/belt. He turns it before he uses a spell.
I didn't really see very many connections other than the mention of platelets which is unscientific more like a pseudoscience because they are very different movies. Even the viral stuff. Of course also this thing about the bites and whatever else there's a lot of things that just didn't really you don't drive to me I like the movies but at the same time it's kind of poetic license. D, ,
Yeah, I do think they took some inspiration from it… especially the resemblance between Selene and Violet (vampire female leads, black hair, blue eyes, action based, etc.)
@@cotevallejos7230 I think they are completely separate entities/The similarity is almost like saying the same for all the other vampires in the movies. Violet's hair changes throughout the first minutes of the movie not just throughout the who;e movie. along with her outfit. also no silver. or were wolf appearances. just the church while there's no church in the underworld. D, ,
Tremor. You're some dumb people talking about that guy too trying to suggest it was clinical vampirism also known as renfield's syndrome which is not actually in the DSM-5 it's just some stupid person decided they were going to try to push to make it a real thing again. And wrote a paper on it but writing an academic paper doesn't make it so. Same thing with the people trying to push porphyria as vampires in the first person that suggested that had a lot of backlash because it actually cause problems for the people who actually suffered from porphyria and not vampyrism D, ,
@@Schelbig personally I think the Virus has a pagan origin as those infected with it are capable of going to heaven I feel like that wouldn't be the case if it was satanic in nature
I'd really like to see you cover the Bloodrayne games, and, if you must, the semi crappy movies that were loosely based on them. Rayne is my favorite video game vampire. She's almost as badass as Selene, and she's voiced by Laura Bailey in the games. Her family is really cool and unique, too. I went through most of your videos already and I don't recall you covering it, though it's possible I missed it. Nobody has ever really done a deep dive into Rayne and her story on here. Mostly people either cover the films, or spend their entire video talking more about the gameplay, mechanics, or graphics than the actual character and story of Rayne. Please please please do a nice long in depth video of my favorite game damphir of all time ❤🙏
Have you considered reviewing the show moonlight? You would think it’s about a werewolf, but he’s actually a vampire Came out about a year before twilight
Hey Cogan. Love your videos. Been binge-watching all of them lately! I want to suggest covering some of the various creatures/monsters from the Supernatural series.
It's not quite vampires or werewolves, but if you're looking for a very interesting movie with "supernatural" elements/creatures, check out "Ravenous" from 1999, with Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, Jefferey Jones, David Arquette, and Neal McDonough. I don't want to spoil it by saying any more, but I think it would be interesting for you to review.
You mentioned doing Stake Land, and I hope you actually do cuz the second one came out and I don't know if you know about the show Dark Shadows and then the movie with Johnny Depp I'm sure you do but give it a watch the English show was ridiculous and it was so many seasons and it's got everything from werewolves to vampires Two Witches to Frankenstein's monster you name it I just discovered your channel and for the past three nights I have not slept because I've been binge-watching all of your videos you rule man! First video ever watched from you was the lost boys and you did a bang-up job on that and I'm an 80s kid so you got my subscription my brother! Keep up the good work man and thank you for the content you are truly awesome!
Honestly, the most unrealistic scene looked to be the public willingly wearing masks to prevent the spread of the disease and listening to this world’s CDC. 😒
„Eat Locals“ is a title you should definitly check out. Itˋs based on a novel from Danny King very funny, has a lot of action, one or two twists and you will think about it for a while afterwards too. I was very surprised how good the movie actually is. In fact I was so amazed, I bought the Bluray to rewatch it whenever I want.
If you’re willing to dabble into anime/manga there’s an unfinished series from the early 2000’s that has my favorite take on a sci-fi vampire. It’s called Trinity Blood. There’s two virus’ in the story, one that makes “methusalah” (vampires) and another “krusnik” that is a vampire which feeds on other vampires. Its also a post apocalyptic setting were failed space travel not only brought the virus’ to earth but resulted in a war so bad that they refer to it as armageddon.
I really thought the boy was going to turn out to be hers; he's about the right age, he could be small for his age due to being raised indoors as a pre-Homelander type of experiment
They probably didn’t use the cure because most of the hemophages were about to die out anyways. So they thought they could just let them die. But then they realized they wouldn’t have no one to keep people in fear and thus…..
I loved this movie. It had such cool technology and worldbuilding. The dimensional compression was basically how they explained people having a bag of holding in some distant future. I would have loved to see a sequel in which "the cure" just returned the virus to an earlier stage of evolution and made the hemophages into true vampires with extended life and a vastly greater dependence on the consumption of blood. When I rewatched it years later, I realized that the video game, Mirror's Edge, had a very similar aesthetic to this film. The world needs better production values on vampire sci-fi horror films.
Love the idea of underworld and ultraviolet being somewhat connected. Just because of the era and he style i always assumed they were inspired by each other (underworld movies kept on going and i think they took some of the style from Ultraviolet) Heck even Aeon flux gave me that vibe of "being in the same world"/ While i know its probably not the case, its still fun to come up with stories of how mankind after being the victims of vampires and lycans for such a long time, they ended up finding a way to "wipe" the vampires by creating the virus that attacked blood. Then they evolved the Virus to try and create better humans, but it backfires, creating the vampires all over again. Sorry bad english, i dont speak english very well sorry
I really love Ultraviolet. I have the movie on DVD and also the book. Milla Jovovich is one of my favorite actress and Voilet is just so sexy. It's a shame that the hemophages don't drink blood like the vampires in Underworld. It would be so sexy to see Voilet jumping at someones throat only to drink his or her blood. Also it would be very interesting to see what would happen when Voilet and Selene meet each other. Would they fight each other? Or would they get along with each other? They are both very strong female leads after all.
And on another note, I the only one who noticed the Nazi Germany symbolism in this movie? The Arch Ministry's soldiers dressed in uniforms reminiscent of World War II storm troopers, their treatment of "vampires" is similar to how the Nazis treated the Jews, from forcing them to wear armbands to routing them up in concentration camps.
@@gfgffdd I actually have German myself on my father's side. And you're right, a TV series set in this universe would be awesome, especially thanks to some of its unique sci-fi tropes like the dimension compressing technology and the gravity we organizers etc.
The next series you should cover for vampires is vampire knight. It is an anime that is very well done and may not be your cup of tea but I think it is worth it
The movie makes it seem _very_ strange that people are so terrified of this virus when to all appearances the virus just makes people superhuman with practically no negative effects.
Thanks, you helped give the movie more meaning. I have watched it several times. I have the DVD, but not the extended version. I will look for the book.
i think the boy turning into a vamp would be a perfect way of his body had made a cure since he turned into a vamp and has tht human antigen in his body he probably was the cure the whole time didnt know till he was cured
This is one of my favorite older (now) vampire movies, and an underrated gem like I feel Aeon Flux was. Honestly, I'll say this though: When a movie has Milla Jovovich in the credits, it's most likely not going to be the best. I love Milla, don't get me wrong but this should have gotten a sequel. Monster Hunter should have been ten times cooler, hell even Resident Evil should have called it quits at the third movie because thats where the good old R.E. movies ended. I had no desire to watch the new Hellboy as well, but not for Milla being in it. It was because it was a sequel to Golden Army (apparently) but I've heard or seen no mention from that movie about the fact hes supposed to have twin children now. And no Liz in general are what made me say hell to it lol
I saw the trailers for the new Hellboy, that was enough. The actor is a good actor, but his face is too long for a decent Hellboy. He looked a guy who dropped 100 pounds, especially around his face. If it comes to cable, I might watch it, maybe. I know it was hated by almost everyone.
things i noticed : 1 the boy who played 6 i think that hes the same one who played the son in The Witch 2 the lead scientist who was researching the virus is the same actor who stared halfway threw the Underworld series who injected his son Quint with that enhanced lycan virus thing 3 i bet they sent her out as a means of getting rid of her. violet was infected and on the way out to start and was sent out with the hope that shed be shot / killed some how as means of getting rid of her so the main company / corporation wouldnt have to.
Co do tych komiksów na początku, to było przedstawienie aktorów, reżysera i innych osób biorących udział w produkcji. Świetnie wykonane bo kto chciał to zobaczył, a reszta się ucieszyła że nie ma znowu tego X w roli X, Y w roli Y, co w tamtych latach było prawdziwą plagą.
You should do Steven King Vampires. Such as the move Castle Rock (the shining sequel) and Chapelwaite tv show which is based of the book Jerusalem lot.
4:57 that is a cool shot. There are some really neat visuals in this film. I didnt really care for this movie - only saw it once - maybe i should give it another try.
Did you ever heard about International Committee of the Red Cross? They practice medicine. They also have their headquarters in Switzerland. The giant white cross shaped building surrounded by the red soil is basicly a Switzerland flag.

Thanks for a brief explaining! I saw this movie lobg time ago. And yes, it reminded me Underworld too.
I didn't really see very many connections other than the mention of platelets which is unscientific more like a pseudoscience because they are very different movies.
Even the viral stuff. Of course also this thing about the bites and whatever else there's a lot of things that just didn't really you don't drive to me I like the movies but at the same time it's kind of poetic license.

Yeah, I do think they took some inspiration from it… especially the resemblance between Selene and Violet (vampire female leads, black hair, blue eyes, action based, etc.)
@@cotevallejos7230 I think they are completely separate entities/The similarity is almost like saying the same for all the other vampires in the movies. Violet's hair changes throughout the first minutes of the movie not just throughout the who;e movie. along with her outfit. also no silver. or were wolf appearances. just the church while there's no church in the underworld.

How about looking at the vampires in the TV series Ultraviolet? Which came out before the movie and has nothing to do with it.
And don't forget that Stephen Moyer from True Blood was first vampire in that ultraviolet TV series

Hemophage virus reminds me of that one vampire-stalker from Call Of Pripyat.
Tremor. You're some dumb people talking about that guy too trying to suggest it was clinical vampirism also known as renfield's syndrome which is not actually in the DSM-5 it's just some stupid person decided they were going to try to push to make it a real thing again. And wrote a paper on it but writing an academic paper doesn't make it so. Same thing with the people trying to push porphyria as vampires in the first person that suggested that had a lot of backlash because it actually cause problems for the people who actually suffered from porphyria and not vampyrism

You should do the ancient blood virus in American horror story season 5
I think he should as well
@@Schelbig personally I think the Virus has a pagan origin as those infected with it are capable of going to heaven I feel like that wouldn't be the case if it was satanic in nature
I'd really like to see you cover the Bloodrayne games, and, if you must, the semi crappy movies that were loosely based on them. Rayne is my favorite video game vampire. She's almost as badass as Selene, and she's voiced by Laura Bailey in the games. Her family is really cool and unique, too. I went through most of your videos already and I don't recall you covering it, though it's possible I missed it. Nobody has ever really done a deep dive into Rayne and her story on here. Mostly people either cover the films, or spend their entire video talking more about the gameplay, mechanics, or graphics than the actual character and story of Rayne. Please please please do a nice long in depth video of my favorite game damphir of all time ❤🙏
Bro, you're killing it. I didn't care for the movie as much as I did your recap lol keep up the great work
suggestions: I Frankenstein, werewolf the apocalypse, the order tv series, wolfblood, shadow hunters and supernatural
I forgot about this movie! I need to add it to my bad science movies list.
Greetings from Germany!
Best Vampire lore channel!
Keep that stuff going!
Have you considered reviewing the show moonlight?
You would think it’s about a werewolf, but he’s actually a vampire
Came out about a year before twilight
I remember that show!
Mick, St John, the PI. I still have that DVD with season 1. 😊
The Trick R Treat movie was also a movie based on a comic book series that didn't exist.
Hey Cogan. Love your videos. Been binge-watching all of them lately! I want to suggest covering some of the various creatures/monsters from the Supernatural series.
It's not quite vampires or werewolves, but if you're looking for a very interesting movie with "supernatural" elements/creatures, check out "Ravenous" from 1999, with Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, Jefferey Jones, David Arquette, and Neal McDonough. I don't want to spoil it by saying any more, but I think it would be interesting for you to review.
Badass movie smh...Now THAT is an underated gem ❤
Yeah that's not vampires or werewolves that's straight-up cannibal
D, ,
Well, it is a wendigo story, so it fits in the realm.
@@itsmainelyyou5541 not actually the same realm. Wendigo is not a vampire or werewolf it's Native American not European
D, ,
@@damiannightwalker8461 Uh, it's a mythical being. That realm.
How do they know that they have 10-12 years to live when the outbreak happened only a decade ago?
You can predict ageing based on your current age rate but it's still just a prediction
You mentioned doing Stake Land, and I hope you actually do cuz the second one came out and I don't know if you know about the show Dark Shadows and then the movie with Johnny Depp I'm sure you do but give it a watch the English show was ridiculous and it was so many seasons and it's got everything from werewolves to vampires Two Witches to Frankenstein's monster you name it I just discovered your channel and for the past three nights I have not slept because I've been binge-watching all of your videos you rule man! First video ever watched from you was the lost boys and you did a bang-up job on that and I'm an 80s kid so you got my subscription my brother! Keep up the good work man and thank you for the content you are truly awesome!
The downside of the Book is you can't enjoy the CGI masterwork the Film offers 😅
My favorite actress the beautiful Milla Jovovich.. I love all her movies. I miss seeing her in resident evil movies
One of absolutely favorite movies, anything with Mila is BOMB ❤
You didnt mention The Blood Chinois from the movie.
Honestly, the most unrealistic scene looked to be the public willingly wearing masks to prevent the spread of the disease and listening to this world’s CDC. 😒
Someone clearly didn't take notice of the last few years.
"comic book movie that isn't based on a comic book" is a pretty good description of "Sucker Punch" as well
both are greek words: blood = αίμα ( Hema) and eat= φάγω/τρώω ( phage)
„Eat Locals“ is a title you should definitly check out.
Itˋs based on a novel from Danny King very funny, has a lot of action, one or two twists and you will think about it for a while afterwards too.
I was very surprised how good the movie actually is. In fact I was so amazed, I bought the Bluray to rewatch it whenever I want.
I remember thinking this was an Aeon Flux/Matrix rip off when it came out, but I gave it a chance. Was NOT disappointed.
It is Underworld rip of
@@FriendlyGhost-rf7tqnot exactly. It has no werewolfs, immortals or supernatural things in it. It also has a different story and Background.
@@gfgffddit just feels to me like mc here wants to be Selene so bad
If you’re willing to dabble into anime/manga there’s an unfinished series from the early 2000’s that has my favorite take on a sci-fi vampire.
It’s called Trinity Blood. There’s two virus’ in the story, one that makes “methusalah” (vampires) and another “krusnik” that is a vampire which feeds on other vampires.
Its also a post apocalyptic setting were failed space travel not only brought the virus’ to earth but resulted in a war so bad that they refer to it as armageddon.
That TV Show sounds intressting. Thanks 👍
Is it just me or did Hollywood stop making Supernatural movies like this
Nah you right.
i didn't realize she infected him at the end. I genuinely thought the tear Just healed him. An immortal child
I have watched this movie several times and somehow I just learned this was a vampire movie.... :D
Omg thanks for explaining the movie so thoroughly!!
Hey there, Cogan! Do you have any plans on covering Vampires from "The Day Watch" and "The Night Watch" in the future?
I have mentioned those before along with "He Never Died".
They need to actually come up with the third in the series Twilight watch. Then he'll have to address all three movies
D, ,
@@damiannightwalker8461, for real
I really thought the boy was going to turn out to be hers; he's about the right age, he could be small for his age due to being raised indoors as a pre-Homelander type of experiment
They probably didn’t use the cure because most of the hemophages were about to die out anyways. So they thought they could just let them die. But then they realized they wouldn’t have no one to keep people in fear and thus…..
YES!! Finally, someone talks about this movie. I like this movie.
I loved this movie. It had such cool technology and worldbuilding. The dimensional compression was basically how they explained people having a bag of holding in some distant future. I would have loved to see a sequel in which "the cure" just returned the virus to an earlier stage of evolution and made the hemophages into true vampires with extended life and a vastly greater dependence on the consumption of blood. When I rewatched it years later, I realized that the video game, Mirror's Edge, had a very similar aesthetic to this film. The world needs better production values on vampire sci-fi horror films.
This makes me want to read the book. I liked the movies but felt it was missing something
for some reason this was one my first vampire moves and always a fav even with the CGI lol
Love the idea of underworld and ultraviolet being somewhat connected. Just because of the era and he style i always assumed they were inspired by each other (underworld movies kept on going and i think they took some of the style from Ultraviolet) Heck even Aeon flux gave me that vibe of "being in the same world"/ While i know its probably not the case, its still fun to come up with stories of how mankind after being the victims of vampires and lycans for such a long time, they ended up finding a way to "wipe" the vampires by creating the virus that attacked blood. Then they evolved the Virus to try and create better humans, but it backfires, creating the vampires all over again.
Sorry bad english, i dont speak english very well sorry
I absolutely enjoyed this movie mila did a great job definitely worth a watch 😊
My little brother had a HUGE crush on Mila in Ultraviolet. No bullshit he used to rewatch our Blu-ray copy at least once a day
You should do bram stokers but I like seeing this less known movies.
I really love Ultraviolet. I have the movie on DVD and also the book. Milla Jovovich is one of my favorite actress and Voilet is just so sexy. It's a shame that the hemophages don't drink blood like the vampires in Underworld. It would be so sexy to see Voilet jumping at someones throat only to drink his or her blood. Also it would be very interesting to see what would happen when Voilet and Selene meet each other. Would they fight each other? Or would they get along with each other? They are both very strong female leads after all.
OMG, someone remembered this movie!!!
And on another note, I the only one who noticed the Nazi Germany symbolism in this movie? The Arch Ministry's soldiers dressed in uniforms reminiscent of World War II storm troopers, their treatment of "vampires" is similar to how the Nazis treated the Jews, from forcing them to wear armbands to routing them up in concentration camps.
Yeah i noticed it. I myself am from Germany. And this makes the mouvie more sinister/ dark for me. We need a TV-Series about this universe.
@@gfgffdd I actually have German myself on my father's side. And you're right, a TV series set in this universe would be awesome, especially thanks to some of its unique sci-fi tropes like the dimension compressing technology and the gravity we organizers etc.
@@benjaminfeld6388 That would be awesome :)
I love your videos man, It would be amazing if you do some more World Of Darkness stuff
is it hard to find shows/movie on supernatural which you havent already covered from recent times 1990 to present.
I wonder if the lab was in China?
Nah hemovages Jews humans nazis.
Yeah and Fauci was there 😅
The next series you should cover for vampires is vampire knight. It is an anime that is very well done and may not be your cup of tea but I think it is worth it
I must have completely forgot that movie was about vampires. Maybe I confused it with Aeon Flux.
As kid me and my grandpa fascinated watching this on public TV which is 4:3 size back in 2014 how the graphics are great and the motorcycle drift.
You should do Shadow Hunter or supernatural
The lifespan shortening is mentioned in the movie.
From dust till down is cool vampire TV show and movie
please explain about the netflix SHADOWHUNTERS series it has as vampire werewolf warlock and Seelie it explains about demon and Angel
The movie makes it seem _very_ strange that people are so terrified of this virus when to all appearances the virus just makes people superhuman with practically no negative effects.
have you covered the zombies of i am legend yet?
*Do a video on Hemocages the vampires that were bitten by Nicholas Cage*
Thanks, you helped give the movie more meaning. I have watched it several times. I have the DVD, but not the extended version. I will look for the book.
Once more: Young Dracula (BBC): like the Harry Potter Franchise, the narrative matures with the characters, as the Season progress...
i think the boy turning into a vamp would be a perfect way of his body had made a cure since he turned into a vamp and has tht human antigen in his body he probably was the cure the whole time didnt know till he was cured
I miss the old music so much it’s honestly what drew me to your channel 😅
This is one of my favorite older (now) vampire movies, and an underrated gem like I feel Aeon Flux was. Honestly, I'll say this though: When a movie has Milla Jovovich in the credits, it's most likely not going to be the best. I love Milla, don't get me wrong but this should have gotten a sequel. Monster Hunter should have been ten times cooler, hell even Resident Evil should have called it quits at the third movie because thats where the good old R.E. movies ended. I had no desire to watch the new Hellboy as well, but not for Milla being in it. It was because it was a sequel to Golden Army (apparently) but I've heard or seen no mention from that movie about the fact hes supposed to have twin children now. And no Liz in general are what made me say hell to it lol
I saw the trailers for the new Hellboy, that was enough. The actor is a good actor, but his face is too long for a decent Hellboy. He looked a guy who dropped 100 pounds, especially around his face. If it comes to cable, I might watch it, maybe. I know it was hated by almost everyone.
things i noticed :
1 the boy who played 6 i think that hes the same one who played
the son in The Witch
2 the lead scientist who was researching the virus is the same actor
who stared halfway threw the Underworld series who injected his son
Quint with that enhanced lycan virus thing
3 i bet they sent her out as a means of getting rid of her. violet was
infected and on the way out to start and was sent out with the hope
that shed be shot / killed some how as means of getting rid of her
so the main company / corporation wouldnt have to.
do kindred the embraced next
didn't even realize that the hemophages were vampires...
Co do tych komiksów na początku, to było przedstawienie aktorów, reżysera i innych osób biorących udział w produkcji.
Świetnie wykonane bo kto chciał to zobaczył, a reszta się ucieszyła że nie ma znowu tego X w roli X, Y w roli Y, co w tamtych latach było prawdziwą plagą.
Excellent content as always.
I'd love to see a video on the British vampire TV series also called ultraviolet starring Idris Elba and Stephen moyer
Do one on the little vampire i know its not like a normal vampire movie tho they still are a form of vampires.
love your videos, can you cover vampire hunter d as well?
Oh my god. You finally covered my favorite childhood mouvie. Thank you so much. 😂
You should do Steven King Vampires. Such as the move Castle Rock (the shining sequel) and Chapelwaite tv show which is based of the book Jerusalem lot.
Thank you so much 😊
A strong female lead character with actual character development. Simple
Take notes Hollywood. That is how it is done.
And her motivation is rooted in her femininity- her maternal instincts to protect this boy.
@@inferiorinferno8859 Yes a real reasen for a plot. Not just „I am stronger than everyone and i can do whatever i want.”
@@inferiorinferno8859Keep in mind they don’t have to in order for the character to be good.
A female hero wth a brain 🧠😳🙄🤣
4:57 that is a cool shot. There are some really neat visuals in this film.
I didnt really care for this movie - only saw it once - maybe i should give it another try.
Love this movie and the soundtrack I was 17 when this movie came out
Did you ever heard about International Committee of the Red Cross?
They practice medicine. They also have their headquarters in Switzerland.
The giant white cross shaped building surrounded by the red soil is basicly a Switzerland flag.
The comic thing. The Director/writer intended the movie to be a live action comic book.
