Good...good...

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2005)

This was one of the only horror films I have survived so far. If you were a huge fan of the Ring or Dark Water, this movie is NOT FOR YOU.
Basically, it was about Gabriel Van Helsing (Jackman). He goes to Transylvania and meets Anna Velarious (Beckinsale). They aren't exactly the most romantic couple in the entire world. Not enough flaming passion but they clicked pretty well.
Dracula's brides, I'd say, are the most impressive. The trio are cool and sexy and all that. And then suddenly, they become flying gargoyles from hell.
Dracula (Roxburgh) is not your typical vampire-bat. He can transform into a beast from hell with a 15-feet wingspan. It gave me a new perspective on him. Anyhow, Roxburgh did an excellent job in portraying the Count. Frankenstein (Hensley) is your typical Frankie. Green, flat headed, bolts... yada yada yada. He's this kind freak who wants 'to exist'.
Carl (Wenham) is Van Helsing's cute little sidekick. I say Wenham did a great job in playing this guy. I can't hear Carl's voice without cracking up like nuts.
What this story lacks, though, is a good plot. Other than that, I'd say it's good...
9/10.
