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.

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!!!Best Deals for BloodRayne: The Third Reich (Unrated Director's Cut + Digital Copy)
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.
Honest reviews on BloodRayne: The Third Reich (Unrated Director's Cut + Digital Copy)
This is a movie about vampire Nazis killed by a katana-swinging medieval chick. There is NO excuse for it to be this bad.But yes, "Bloodrayne: The Third Reich" really IS that bad, combining everything that was wretched about the last two movies and adding plenty of new idiocies of its own. Unerotic sex, slapdash action scenes, a plot crammed with filler and starring Natassia Malthe's breasts, this is an exercise in bored ineptitude... or, in other words, an Uwe Boll movie.
During World War II, Rayne (Malthe) has taken to slaughtering Nazis at the camps, when she isn't hanging around a bordello getting naked massages. However, some of her blood was splattered on Commandant Brand (Michael Pare), right after she stabbed him, and he soon rises as a vampire. So the sadistic Dr Mangler (Clint Howard), a cut-rate Mengele clone, decides to take his vampire research further.
Rayne is horrified (or mildly confused, if you go by Malthe's expression) by this discovery, and she soon realizes that Mangler is planning to inject vampire blood into Hitler to make him immortal and nigh-unkillable. So she teams up with the local Resistance (populated by a bunch of undeveloped people whose names I can't remember), and tries to eliminate the vampires before Hitler grows a pair of fangs.
"BloodRayne: The Third Reich" is just as silly as the first movie, and as devastatingly dull as the second. And since this is Uwe Boll, there's lots of explicit gore, silly fight scenes, stupid plot holes (those Nazis don't hear a guy being killed TEN FEET BEHIND THEM?!) and unintentionally hilarious dialogue ("I am the prodigal son of the Third Reich! I am power incarnate... OOF!").
But don't worry, NONE of that is half as campily entertaining as it sounds. The story is painfully limp, and it sort of oozes by slowly -most of it is just the Commandant and Dr. Mangler plot world domination, while Rayne hangs around with the Resistance doing... nothing much. It takes FOREVER for her to actually start fighting the bad guys.
However... that is STILL not enough. So Boll crams the movie with filler -REEEAAALLLY LOOOONNG softcore lesbian sex scenes, Vampire Hitler dreams, and whole SUBPLOTS that exist merely to take up time. What is the point of the codebreaker Magda again, except to eat up ten minutes of running time and never be mentioned again? Don't be silly, there IS no point!
And you know the movie is full of fail when the best-developed character is a Nazi lieutenant. Natassia Malthe is awful as usual -she looks, acts and sounds like a whiny teenage girl, especially since she spends much of the movie squeaking at the doughy Resistance leader. She does have two qualifications, though -and both of them are CONSTANTLY on display.
It takes a special brand of horribleness to wreck a VAMPIRE NAZI movie, but Uwe Boll managed it. "BloodRayne" completes the trifecta of vampire wretchedness, so don't watch it except for a MST3K weekend.
