Such an underrated gem. I feel sad for the people who saw the ratings and thought it was bad.

I hope the whole team with the director will get together and continue the story or make another film about monsters
Sucks that majority of people are sheep who actually listen to Rotten Tomatoes or any other critics website instead of judging the movie themselves. This movie is underrated asf i mean the cgi is top tier for a 2004 movie and even today.
I like the way Anna is portrayed as being seriously able to take a beating. Getting down from the rooftop looked so painful, and her body language (great acting) implies that yeah, she's graceful as a cat, but it still freakin' hurt. Total badass monster hunter.
True 💯💯✨✨ I think this is one of the best Kate Beckinsale 's movie and also character . Princess Anna is very strong, determined to fight for her family and willing to take down Dracula and his prides no matter what
@@Ilzum_Gopke I love Dracula's brides. Marishka (the blonde with yellow dress), Verona (the brunette with green dress) and my favorite, Aleera (the one with auburn-copper hair and pink dress). I share the theory of the director, Verona, is the wife, and the other two are the mistresses. And the actresses who play them, superb: - Josie Maran, originally from the USA, plays Marishka. - Silvia Colloca (married to Richard Roxburgh who plays Count Dracula), originally from Italy, plays the role of Verona. - And, last but not least, Elena Anaya, a proud Spaniard like me, is Aleera. I must add, that if you compare it with the Coppola film, here the brides, no less stronger, treacherous, voluptuous and deadly, have a more active role, no longer as the Count's guardians and hunters, but his most loyal lieutenants. Bravo, I loved the movie. PS: If Anna had succumbed to the Darkness and, therefore, turn into a Count's bride, her colour dress would have been red (like in the masquerade ball).
What I love about Movie Van Helsing 1. Perfect Casting; Everyone fit their role 2. Beautiful concept and atmosphere 3. Not a terrible CGI, i mean it does have flaws but could been worse. Also never surpassed this ver of Werewolf then any other ver of Werewolf 4.Story Arc of This film was the best
Such a criminally underrated movie. No shaky camera during the action scenes, everything makes sense, most of the special effects still hold up and it’s just an incredibly fun adventure to watch. Van Helsing will always be one of my favorites.
Shaky camera was invented to hide the lack of action filming talent, just like the untalented hags that seem to fill Hollyweird now a day calling themselves "screenwriters".
Yes, it's criminally underrated. I've been promoting enactment of a new law that would make it a first degree felony to rate it less than 5 out of 5 stars.
This a monster movie. It came out in the wrong year. It really honors the legacy of Universal monsters and it's an enjoyable ride. Horror, comedy, thrills and drama. In a time when vampires were scary and big and werewolves were vicious. I love those designs. Those are real monsters.
If Lucy Westernra hadn’t of been staked so fast, I think she would’ve been a very cool bride of Dracula, she just wasn’t allowed to develop and had to be a tragic character instead. I still think the best female vampire ever was Claudia from Interview with a vampire…what a complex character! 😉👍
What I really love about this movie is that the setting, the vampires and characters are so believable. The brides are cruel as they should be, not just sexy and stoic monsters, but they displayed emotions such as grief, rage like anyone else, since they’re partly human. They also command respect out of the film’s main characters - their presence is always taken seriously. The protagonists on their end don’t hesitate to kill each other at first encounter, as they’re strangers - it’s not because Anna is sexy and Van Helsing is an adonis in disguise that they start immediately doing the nasty right in the town square, unlike other movies. They also stay true to their motives, Anna doesn’t get side tracked by Gabriel’s interest in her, they set out to accomplish what the story was building up to.
Actually, the brunette vampire is a real-life wife of Dracula, they fall in love during the filming of this movie and got married. If I'm not wrong she is an Italian model.
This movie is the statement that most of the time critics don't understand what's entertaining and what's not... This movie is criminally underrated.. Edit: This movie needs a sequel or something tbh❤
Yeah when critics dislike a movie, I know most likely I will enjoy it. You know, unless critics and fans are both agreeing a movie is trash (which rarely happens.)
I remember watching this in middle school, on the plane, with my PSP. I was sooo happy to have this movie and bought it right before i got on the flight! 😆 Vampire brides are ICONIC.
It's been YEARS and I still appreciate this movie. The 3 vampire brides are MOST BEAUTIFUL female vampires in the history of ever I have ever seen. And I like to believe I've seen majority of the well known vampire media out there. They're both exotic but also cohesive at the same time! Aleera is a fave!
Ummm what about Selene from the Underworld series - I know she's not a "vampire bride" but she's still beautiful! - ironic I know since it's the same actress that's getting chased by the brides in this movie
This film had so much potential I think it would have been better split into two or three films. I wanted to know more about the brides backstory, Dracula and Van helsing. They left so many things unfinished it feels! Did love this film as a kid!
Here's my guess. It's been speculated that Verona was probably from a royal family maybe she used to be a queen or a princess. Apparently aleera and Anna already knew each other maybe they were childhood friends until she was bitten and turned into a vampire. As for Marishka given her attire and her playful and flirty personality it's quite possible she was probably a belly dancer in her past life.
I know that Aleena is the second bride and the blonde is the youngest. As they would tell her what to do and she would do it. And in the video game Aleena said she’s been around like almost 500 years or so
It's a 2/10 "critic" score and 5-6/10 audience score which doesn't mean it's bad, it means it's average.... definitely deserves a 6 or a 7... It's a good costume action flick with a bit of horror.
Yes there is going to be a new movie not a sequel but a reboot. Announced late in 2020, this new Van Helsing reboot would be produced by James Wan and would be written by Eric Pearson
Since Jackman won't be Wolverine anymore, he should be Van Helsing again! That would be Epic. And resurrect Kate Beckinsale. That would be even More Epic 😀😀😀
@@jalpanakar1591 haha yeah I know but we don't necessarily need a super old Jackman. You know, Hollywood and his ability to transform young into old, I think it will be much easier to add a few decades to a mature man. Also, A. Hopkins was 55 when he worked for '92 Dracula, Jackman is now 52 years old. Interesting, right?
Will forever be one of my favorite underrated movies ever. Everything about this movie is amazing. The cgi was extraordinary for 2004, so was the costume & monster designs, & the action scenes were *chef kiss* 😚🤌 One of my favorite things about this movie also, is Dracula’s Wives. They are so pretty & their dresses are breathtaking 😭👏👏
Im surprise that they decided not to make the sequel after horrible reviews when actually its a great movie, well according to me. The acting of those casts are so amazing.
Twilight did so much to ruin the monster movie genre. And there was nothing truly original in that series - either the books or the films - as it was a generic 'girl meets vampire, girl falls in love with vampire, get's turned into a vampire' story with characters that were so wooden you could use them as firewood.
I feel pity for the people who never gave this movie a chance it’s absolutely outstanding l thought the visual transformations of the vampires and the monsters were phenomenal a true gem of horror
Absolutely. Since CGI wasn't as advanced before as it is today, they had to work a lot harder to make it look realistic. Or mix real elements from the set with CGI to achieve the best result. Now everything is CGI, and they believe that the audience will no longer notice the difference because technology has advanced a lot, so they don't work on it as hard as before.
The Best Dracula movie so far...i was like 6 year old when i first saw this movie.....still gives me goosebumps....a masterpiece when it comes to special effects ❤️
Am I the only one dying to know the back story of Dracula's brides. Who they were before they turned, what convinced them (besides Dracula's charms) who were they besides a part of Anna's distant family tree.
Yea, I am too , they were the highlight of the movie for me, they’re beautiful . Also I think the one with the straight black hair was some type of nobility or princess before she turned.
@@Darlvua The leader , that’s the one with the straight black hair , I think it says that she was some type of princess or nobility before she was turned.
I was 11 years old, and it was a foggy December's Sunday...parents were asleep for midday and I watched this in our cable TV at the time because I liked the colours initialy...I bought the soundtrack a month later and the dvd some months later lol...what really got me into "gothic horror" ^_^
Van Helsing is my favourite Hugh Jackman movie. This scene is my favourite scene from this whole movie. Marishka😍 is the most beautiful vampire i have ever seen.
Van Helsing was such an awesome movie! 7:10 in this scene is so badass! That vampire bride was my favourite, the way she catches and throws away the holywater, followed by her bossing the other bride around 😂
Still love this movie to date... underrated... have watched this multiple times now, but i still feel this movie is amazing. Just in awe everytime i watched this. Still cry at Anna dying... just superb in my opinion. I hope they make this same level of awesomeness in the near future. Something that even rewatching it more than twice will still make you feel the same way as it did the first time.
This entire movie is an ode to the Universal Monster universe. Much more so than the new movies. What the writers of those movies neglected to include was the over the top campy-ness that made the originals so great. This movie doesn't take itself too seriously which is why it works.
One thing that always bothered me was that the one vampire didn’t want to/can’t carry both of them so she dropped them. She then proceeds to pick up and throw and entire cow through a house.
No..... When she picked up the cow Accidentally SHE WAS GOING FAST AND HAD INERTIA then quickly drops the cow When she picked up anna she didn't have as much speed then she was flying upwards to gain height without a lot of speed then van helsing weighed her down it does make sense
@@martinkuliza screw the inertia; two persons weight maybe 150-170 kilos (movie based), cow weights at least 2 times if not more. in reality vampire would flop over the cow and ended biting the dust :p .
@@ApocGuy umm NO let me get a bit sciency on Yo ass ok LOL F = ma Force = mass x Acceleration Look.... if you have a heavy object ok that can say lift a cow 'Lets say this object weighs 2 Tonnes which we agree can easily lift a Cow ' so... mass in Kg is 2000 and let's just use a standard of 2 m/s/s (metres per second per second) to illustrate my point of why inertia matters so the Force involved if a 2000kg object moves at 2m/s/s is F=ma 2000 x 2.5 = 5000 so you have 5000 Newtons of Force Now let's keep everything the same and change the mass to a 60kg Vampire travelling at the same acceleration now it's not rocket science to figure out the force will be less but .. here it is 60 x 2.5 = 150 Newtons so.. clearly the object with more mass has more force HOWEVER...... If the 60kg vampire is travelling at 100m/s/s watch this..... 60 x 100 = 6000 so .... THE SLOW MOVING HEAVY OBJECT generated 5000 Newtons but THE FAST MOVING LIGHT OBJECT Generated More.. 6000 Newtons it does matter mate, it does matter whether the vampire was travelling fast AND.. SHE WAS but when she was lifting anna she wasn't You can't just say screw inertia, it's physics yes it's a movie but there are still physics involved and.. there you go so let's plug in your numbers shall we ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ screw the inertia; two persons weight maybe 150-170 kilos (movie based), cow weights at least 2 times if not more. in reality vampire would flop over the cow and ended biting the dust :p . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a cow weighs more than 2 people which weigh 170kg let's even say 180, so 90kg a person so you're saying that cow weighs double 170 ok, let's call it 400kg for arguments sake shall we and the vampire is 90kg Fair enough ??? now.. just accept this ok, so i don't have to do more math 1kg = 9.8 Newtons, ok so to account for 400kg to lift the cow..... 3,920 newtons are required well if 90kg has reached an acceleration of 50m/s/s 90 x 50 = 4500 newtons it's totally possible mate the 4500 newtons is easily enough to lift that cow THAT I OVER COMPENSATED THE WEIGHT by the way there you go
@I.M. Shirley Rongh MY Science ????? it's not My science IT'S ....SCIENCE Actually.. it's Physics, but that's still a branch of Science but yeah... Not mine
It's so sad people didn't like this movie back in the day! I'm a Millennial and I still remember people in 2004 complaining about the excessive CGI or that they made Van Helsing into a different character...I didn't care! it was just so much fun! I'm happy people are discovering this movie and appreciating it!
Hands down my favourite film of all time. Amazing plot. Amazing actors. Best CGI Werewolves - the detail they go into in the extras. Amazing. Acting, fantastic. Brides - so good. A genuine film that stays true to the original, but also makes it there iwn
In my opinion These are the best Dracula Bride's ever made in any Universal or Dracula movie ever made. I love there outfits there hair color, Everything.
Love how the bride's wings blends into their dresses. The CGI is something that this movie will be remembered for long time to come.
It's pretty wild considering this movie came out in 2004 and the special effects still look better than some movies coming out today.
It will be remembered as a vampire 🧛♂️ classic

And I watched it in September 2003
Same, I did that already.
You Know What, I did The Same way with My Grandma That I Remembered.
I love how even the main chick at the end when kills the vampire queen she’s like if you’re guna kill someone dont stand there talking about it hahaha
Reference to the good the bad and the ugly
"You sly dog, you got me monologuing!"
@@theshillneckedlizard8364 Lmao someone with culture.
I quote this all the time
Don't care what anyone says about this movie. It still has the best werewolf and demonic vampire CGI I have seen.
This scene is really on fire 🔥 I can watch this a hundred times.
Since Jackman won't be Wolverine anymore, he should be Van Helsing again! That would be Epic. And resurrect Kate Beckinsale. That would be even More Epic 😀😀😀
Yeah, an old Jackman Val Helsing like in the 90's Bram Stocker's Dracula movie.
Yess👍
@@katherinedc3483 NNNOOOO!!!
@@osvaldoprado9906 lol Hugh isnt THAT old like bram strokers van helsing
@@jalpanakar1591 haha yeah I know but we don't necessarily need a super old Jackman. You know, Hollywood and his ability to transform young into old, I think it will be much easier to add a few decades to a mature man.
Also, A. Hopkins was 55 when he worked for '92 Dracula, Jackman is now 52 years old. Interesting, right?
Marishka was such a beauty
Aleera and Marishka G
Thats supermodel Josie Maran, she was a Maybelline official model for quiet a while.
Fr.
@@MikeMessiah Josie Maran is also in NFS Most Wanted !!
@@MikeMessiah For quiet a while? She was famous, but shhhhhhhhh!!!
Will forever be one of my favorite underrated movies ever. Everything about this movie is amazing. The cgi was extraordinary for 2004, so was the costume & monster designs, & the action scenes were *chef kiss* 😚🤌
One of my favorite things about this movie also, is Dracula’s Wives. They are so pretty & their dresses are breathtaking 😭👏👏
Im surprise that they decided not to make the sequel after horrible reviews when actually its a great movie, well according to me. The acting of those casts are so amazing.
The most beautiful brides of Dracula that I've ever seen 🥰
I love how Marishka looked at the church then back at Van Helsing with a smile daring him to go for the holy water
I think Marishka its the youngest of the brides and the most sadistic
Yep. She was playing with him. Testing him
"Everybody inside!!!"
*People keep running outside*
Just imagine how dumb an average person is and then realize that half of us is even dumber than that.
Hide the childrens!
Do not look for logic in movies that are made to entertain.
ua-cam.com/video/PCd3Sr-UBgo/v-deo.html only for you ventura 😇
Also the vampires were in a house the majority of the attack. They don't have the part of mythology where they did permission to enter . So...
One of the most underrated movies of all time. It should have gotten a sequel.
back when vampires dont sparkle
And cgi and storylines weren't complete shit!
@Dan Jam They were!!
Twilight did so much to ruin the monster movie genre. And there was nothing truly original in that series - either the books or the films - as it was a generic 'girl meets vampire, girl falls in love with vampire, get's turned into a vampire' story with characters that were so wooden you could use them as firewood.
@@AndrewJamesWilliams I almost forgot the whole thing...
I like both
The Vampires Brides are extremely hot.❤❤❤
😂
@@filipegomes6010 simp
In my opinion though, There the best Dracula brides ever made in movie.
I believe that is the point of being The bride of Dracula
In their human forms.
Man, so you're telling me it took me 17yrs to know that van helsing was wolverine
Yep it did aka Logan
@Rhy LuMI yep ! Hugh was 1) van Helsing 2) Wolverine how sexy he is though with those muscles & no shirt !
Hahah me 10 years i think🤣🤣
No he doesn't have the claws
Your not alone. I realised now. 😂
I had no idea that this movie had a bad reputation, To me, it's incredible.
YESSS!! THIS WAS THE MOVIE BACK THEN AND STILL IS!!!!💙💙💙
The guy who said “Welcome to Transylvania.” Looks like Draco Malfoy’s Father.
Oh yes. You’re talking about Lucius Malfoy. Played by Jason Isaacs
Also brings to mind Riff-Raff from Rocky Horror
Hotel transylvania
LMAO
I was thinking the small hand butler dude from scary movie 2. Chris Elliott
I feel pity for the people who never gave this movie a chance it’s absolutely outstanding l thought the visual transformations of the vampires and the monsters were phenomenal a true gem of horror
I'm glad I went to see it in theaters, I thought it was great.
The visual effects in this movie are ahead of their time
Absolutely. Since CGI wasn't as advanced before as it is today, they had to work a lot harder to make it look realistic. Or mix real elements from the set with CGI to achieve the best result. Now everything is CGI, and they believe that the audience will no longer notice the difference because technology has advanced a lot, so they don't work on it as hard as before.
The Best Dracula movie so far...i was like 6 year old when i first saw this movie.....still gives me goosebumps....a masterpiece when it comes to special effects ❤️
Best pro-werewolf movie also? Praise a vampire, praise a werewolf as well.
0:55 Love it when the undertake starts taking measurements for his coffin before he even ded lol!
I didn't notice that
“I hope you have a heart too, Aleera. Because someday I’ll drive a stake through it.”
Nearly at the end of the movie: Prediction came true!!!
This is for you tara ua-cam.com/video/PCd3Sr-UBgo/v-deo.html
@@rex_7043, thx.
@tararocksong5085 wow...didn't realize that. 😮
One of those shallow action horror film pleasures! That I watch again and again whenever it's available on any platform😅
Am I the only one dying to know the back story of Dracula's brides. Who they were before they turned, what convinced them (besides Dracula's charms) who were they besides a part of Anna's distant family tree.
Only for you simon ua-cam.com/video/PCd3Sr-UBgo/v-deo.html
I like to think the one in the pink dress was friends with Anna
Yea, I am too , they were the highlight of the movie for me, they’re beautiful . Also I think the one with the straight black hair was some type of nobility or princess before she turned.
@@Darlvua The leader , that’s the one with the straight black hair , I think it says that she was some type of princess or nobility before she was turned.
🤷🏾Probably just village girls
This is the one movie that I can say that never gets old, everytime I watch it I enjoy it.
Monster movies nowadays don't hold a candle to this gem.
In time old human ..or .. memories no good ..or modern life of vamvier
I was 11 years old, and it was a foggy December's Sunday...parents were asleep for midday and I watched this in our cable TV at the time because I liked the colours initialy...I bought the soundtrack a month later and the dvd some months later lol...what really got me into "gothic horror" ^_^
Van Helsing is my favourite Hugh Jackman movie. This scene is my favourite scene from this whole movie. Marishka😍 is the most beautiful vampire i have ever seen.
Dracula's brides were so beautiful in human form
Out of the 3 brides, I absolutely love Marishka's costume.
+1
7:15 Too bad! So sad ! 😋
Marishka is badass ! 😄
8:06 I love this shot & the music, very classic horror vibe!
The visuals still hold up to this day.
Marishkas laugh is legendary
6:19 She is so beautiful.
Thats supermodel Josie Maran, she was a Maybelline official model for quiet a while.
7:26 there 💘💘🔥🔥
@@MikeMessiah well that explains why she's so beautiful and attractive:^)
Forget Wolverine, Helsing is Jackman's Baddest Role, love this movie!
Van Helsing was such an awesome movie! 7:10 in this scene is so badass! That vampire bride was my favourite, the way she catches and throws away the holywater, followed by her bossing the other bride around 😂
They killed my favorite bride!
😂😂👌
Thats supermodel Josie Maran, she was a Maybelline official model for quiet a while.
Marishka deserved more screen time
@@GhostxInxThexDust peridot
@@MikeMessiah cover girl of need for speed game also
that the girls still have their jewellery when transformed is such a nice touch
Still love this movie to date... underrated... have watched this multiple times now, but i still feel this movie is amazing. Just in awe everytime i watched this. Still cry at Anna dying... just superb in my opinion. I hope they make this same level of awesomeness in the near future. Something that even rewatching it more than twice will still make you feel the same way as it did the first time.
This entire movie is an ode to the Universal Monster universe. Much more so than the new movies.
What the writers of those movies neglected to include was the over the top campy-ness that made the originals so great. This movie doesn't take itself too seriously which is why it works.
Couldn't ve. Said. That. Better
One thing that always bothered me was that the one vampire didn’t want to/can’t carry both of them so she dropped them. She then proceeds to pick up and throw and entire cow through a house.
No.....
When she picked up the cow Accidentally
SHE WAS GOING FAST AND HAD INERTIA
then quickly drops the cow
When she picked up anna she didn't have as much speed
then she was flying upwards to gain height without a lot of speed
then van helsing weighed her down
it does make sense
@@martinkuliza screw the inertia; two persons weight maybe 150-170 kilos (movie based), cow weights at least 2 times if not more. in reality vampire would flop over the cow and ended biting the dust :p .
@@ApocGuy
umm NO
let me get a bit sciency on Yo ass ok LOL
F = ma
Force = mass x Acceleration
Look....
if you have a heavy object ok that can say lift a cow
'Lets say this object weighs 2 Tonnes which we agree can easily lift a Cow
'
so... mass in Kg is 2000
and let's just use a standard of 2 m/s/s (metres per second per second) to illustrate my point of why inertia matters
so the Force involved if a 2000kg object moves at 2m/s/s is
F=ma
2000 x 2.5 = 5000
so you have 5000 Newtons of Force
Now let's keep everything the same and change the mass to a 60kg Vampire travelling at the same acceleration
now it's not rocket science to figure out the force will be less
but .. here it is
60 x 2.5 = 150 Newtons
so.. clearly the object with more mass has more force
HOWEVER......
If the 60kg vampire is travelling at 100m/s/s
watch this.....
60 x 100 = 6000
so ....
THE SLOW MOVING HEAVY OBJECT generated 5000 Newtons
but
THE FAST MOVING LIGHT OBJECT Generated More.. 6000 Newtons
it does matter mate,
it does matter whether the vampire was travelling fast
AND.. SHE WAS
but when she was lifting anna she wasn't
You can't just say screw inertia, it's physics
yes it's a movie but there are still physics involved
and.. there you go
so let's plug in your numbers shall we
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
screw the inertia; two persons weight maybe 150-170 kilos (movie based), cow weights at least 2 times if not more. in reality vampire would flop over the cow and ended biting the dust :p .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a cow weighs more than 2 people which weigh 170kg let's even say 180, so 90kg a person
so you're saying that cow weighs double 170 ok, let's call it 400kg for arguments sake shall we
and the vampire is 90kg
Fair enough ???
now.. just accept this ok, so i don't have to do more math
1kg = 9.8 Newtons, ok
so to account for 400kg to lift the cow..... 3,920 newtons are required
well if 90kg has reached an acceleration of 50m/s/s
90 x 50 = 4500 newtons
it's totally possible mate
the 4500 newtons is easily enough to lift that cow THAT I OVER COMPENSATED THE WEIGHT by the way
there you go
@I.M. Shirley Rongh
MY Science ?????
it's not My science
IT'S ....SCIENCE
Actually.. it's Physics, but that's still a branch of Science
but yeah... Not mine
Actually she only wanted Anna not van Helsing he was getting in the way so she dropped them while pissed as hell
I gave it 10 on IMDB! I don't care what critics say. That was my favourite movie in my childhood.
It's so sad people didn't like this movie back in the day! I'm a Millennial and I still remember people in 2004 complaining about the excessive CGI or that they made Van Helsing into a different character...I didn't care! it was just so much fun! I'm happy people are discovering this movie and appreciating it!
Thank you for your kind words. This is my favorite movie number 1. I just love it.
I swear, this scene was very iconic..
Hands down my favourite film of all time. Amazing plot. Amazing actors. Best CGI Werewolves - the detail they go into in the extras. Amazing.
Acting, fantastic. Brides - so good.
A genuine film that stays true to the original, but also makes it there iwn
She flew too far away, and ultimately it ended her. Too much over-confidence.
Not to mention, she threw him closer to the crossbow than he was.
Honestly, Verona have either should have stayed with her instead of going after Anna with Aleera or been the one to go after Van Helsing.
This is a great movie that deserves a sequel.
This movie rocked in theaters. On the list to rewatch.
After 20 years still this movie impressed me lot.....
20 years??? 😑😑😑
This movie was really good and Van Helsing Werewolf form was badass.
This was actually an amazing movie which deserves respect
In my opinion These are the best Dracula Bride's ever made in any Universal or Dracula movie ever made.
I love there outfits there hair color, Everything.
In 4k this movie really gets a new dimension and an even darker feel to it. Love it.
I love this movie the CGi, the story the characters.
We need an entire movie about the brides! They’re iconic! ♥️
When I was 12, I used to love this movie. I owned a DVD of it and I wanted to be a vampire hunter/werewolf like Van Helsing.
This was a James Bond kinda character in this period. Gadgets - impressive
The dark universe has so much potential.
*had
*till
The especial effects in this movie deserved an Oscar
