While i enjoyed the first Bloodrayne i think this sequel falls through completely. Every flaw of the first one is repeated here and made worse.
Every bit of dialogue seems "out of sync" with what the movie is supposed to be. It simply takes away any chance of building intensity. The script is thinner than the paper it was written on. Cinematography is absolute crap, i'm guessing it suffers from low budget but definitely also from lack of vision. It does seem to want to recreate the feeling from certain old Sergio Leone western classics but fails so miserably at that and to the point where i can understand if some individuals would take offense. Throughout the movie every sequence is so slow paced it feels like the movie is made in slow motion. A proper director's cut would last 30 minutes at best.
Strangely i feel that the score actually works. It's like its supposed to be even if the movie isn't.
Most of the acting is poor but i think it's mainly due to bad script and bad dialogue. No actor in the world would be able to make a difference here. Unlike others i find the Billy the Kid character to work out fine, in fact both him and his crew manages to be nasty and unlikable like they should be. I find it hard to say much about Natassia Malthe because the script really doesn't produce sequences where she or anyone else would be allowed to shine much. There are a few scenes where she shows she could probably do it if she had something to work with.
All in all not THE worst movie i've ever seen - but it comes close.
