BloodRayne is a 2005 action horror film directed by Uwe Boll, from a screenplay written by Guinevere Turner. It is based on the video game franchise of the same name, from Majesco Entertainment and game developer Terminal Reality, of which it acts as a loose prequel to the first game. It is also the third video game film adaptation made by Boll, who previously made House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark. The film stars Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen, Matthew Davis, Will Sanderson, Billy Zane, Udo Kier, Michael Paré, Meat Loaf, Michelle Rodriguez, Ben Kingsley and Geraldine Chaplin.

BloodRayne had its world premiere at the Austin Film Festival on October 23, 2005, and was released in the United States on January 6, 2006, and in Germany on September 14, 2006. The film was panned by critics and audiences, and was a box office bomb, grossing only $3.7 million from a $25 million budget.^[1]
