Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)

A prequel to the first two Underworld films, this fantasy explains the origins of the feud between the Vampires and the Lycans. Aided by his secret love, Sonja, courageous Lucian leads the Lycans in battle against brutal Vampire king Viktor. Determined to break the king's enslavement of his people, Lucian faces off against the Death Dealer army in a bid for Lycan independence.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, power, rebellion, class, authority.
