The Correct Order In Which To Watch The Underworld Movies

After "Rise of the Lycans," the rest of the "Underworld" series actually does chronologically unfold in order of release. That, naturally, brings us to 2016's "Underworld: Blood Wars." 

While we're all for making sure to end a series as beloved as "Underworld" in its own proper and satisfying way too, five films were arguably too many for this style-first franchise. That fact is reflected in the film's Rotten Tomatoes scores, which suggests that "Blood Wars" was, more or less, viewed as a disappointing closing installment by both "Underworld" fans and critics alike.

For those who missed "Blood Wars" in its theatrical run, the film opens in the immediate aftermath of "Awakening," with the Lycans on the verge of eliminating their vampire foes for good, and both races desperate to get their hands on Selene and Eve. The latter character, however, is already in hiding. Meanwhile, in her quest to find Michael and end the war for good, the film sees Selene step right into the middle of a fierce final battle between dueling vampire factions and a vicious Lycan horde.

Of course, there's a lot more going on between the lines in "Blood Wars," and if you're a die-hard fan of the "Underworld" series, you'll no doubt want to see how this film wraps things up.
