The premise

Vampires and werewolves have waged a nocturnal war against each other for centuries. But all bets are off when a female vampire warrior named Selene, who's famous for her strength and werewolf-hunting prowess, becomes smitten with a peace-loving male werewolf, Michael, who wants to end the war.

Horror Vault's take

Deep beneath the rain-slicked streets of Budapest, an ancient blood feud between vampire aristocrats and feral werewolves plays out in the shadows. Selene is an elite Death Dealer — a vampire bred and trained to hunt lycans — but a chance encounter with a human caught between both worlds forces her to question everything she has been told. Sleek, gothic, and mythology-rich, Underworld builds its own dense supernatural universe where the real monsters may not be the ones howling at the moon.
