We are even introduced to the mysterious vampires residing in the cold Nordic coven. On the Lycan side, the powerful Lycan leader Marius has a dark secret of his own. The ambitious Semira and her aide cum lover Varga (Bradley James) plots to conquer the Vampire faction and Selene is constantly battling her own inner demons. For the relatively brief running time, Foerster and her screenwriters Cory Goodman ( The Last Witch Hunter) and Kyle Ward ( Machete Kills) provides the various lead characters enough exposition and screentime for audiences to connect the dots at least for the first 45 minutes.īesides being a family member to Selene, David is also on a journey to find out his true birth heritage that concerns his mysterious mother who left him after childbirth. It is frankly a thankless task to take over a franchise that hardly wins over the critics over the years but Foerster does a commendable job balancing the story and insane action sets.
