Blade 2's (2002) opening title sequence has shown many aspects of thriller, horror and action elements within the first couple of minutes. It is produced by Amen Ra Films and Directed by Guillermo Del Toro. The fast paced movement of the scene and images used match with the narrator's tone of voice, speed and story.
There isn't a lot of credits that were shown in the opening title sequence, where it is blended in together with the sequence to create a thrilling effect, to appeal to the audience.

The opening title sequence of Blade 2 starts off with a blackened screen, whereby the name of the distribution company is presented in bold red fonts - "NEW LINE CINEMA presents". The colour red connotes blood and danger. It could also foreshadow dangerous events that will happen later on. This helps build up tension.
The narrative voice in the background also intensifies the suspense that's implemented. By using a deep voice to build the dilemma, this implies that the main protagonist is somewhat masculine and deadly.
Most of the sequence is smouldered in dark places, hardly showing any faces or light. The protagonist still remains anonymous to the audience, and this builds up suspense as the viewer anticipates for the identity of the character to be revealed.
The background music used to go with the narrative suggests that the thriller is sci-fi based, as it uses alienated sort of sounds that seem retro and funky. However, this also adds to the suspense created and sets the atmosphere for the awaiting audience to watch further on.
