The Rain-Soaked Nightmare: Setting and Atmosphere

“Pity, because I lived for it.” —Selene

The 2003 film "Underworld" doesn't just invite viewers into its world—it drags them by the throat into a damn near suffocating urban hellscape where the moon never seems to shine and the rain never stops falling. Director Len Wiseman created a city that feels like it's been drenched in darkness for centuries, a metropolitan nightmare where every corner hides shadows within shadows. This isn't some half-assed vampire flick with red velvet and candlelight—it's a cold, steel-blue nightmare where ancient blood feuds play out against the backdrop of decaying Gothic architecture and sleek modern design.
