Gorgeous special effects and rareness in transformation

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2015)

I don't know why people gave it such a bad rating. I don't recall a lot of movies that have pushed the transformation process of Dracula from it's human form to it's vampiric form. Nor have we seen a human transform to a werewolf with tearing flesh. And the final fight where Van Helsing as a werewolf transforms from one another and Dracula constantly transforming is just well done. Oh, and did I mention that this is NOT done in dark environments like any other such movies? We actually SEE in full light the transformation process of human to beast! It loosed it's points for the music and the outside churchy story but the rest was just fun to watch and, and I bought the blu-ray disc so that closes it pretty much!
