Three questions

Is Underworld: Blood Wars scary?
Only a little. Underworld: Blood Wars has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is Underworld: Blood Wars?
Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
What is Underworld: Blood Wars rated, and is it OK for kids?
Brutal violence, some strong language and graphic gore. The R is earned, so not for kids.

What is Underworld: Blood Wars about?

Vampire death dealer Selene fends off brutal attacks from both the Lycan clan and the Vampire faction that betrayed her. With her only allies, David and his father Thomas, she must stop the eternal war between Lycans and Vampires, even if it means she has to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
