A Veritable Monster-Mash

Rating: 7/10 (6 December 2018)

Judging this movie for what it is, a fantasy film, it delivers well with reasonable acting (Kate Beckinsale's accent is even credible), good effects and a story-line writhes around enough to remain sufficiently unpredictable and suspenseful. With its veritable monster-mash of Dracula, his heinous brides, Dwerger minions and deranged servant Igor, as well as Frankenstein's monster and werewolves, all boxes are ticked and the character variety helps the plot from running dry at any point. Obviously there are moments of incredulity (such as constant falls from great heights), but what else would you expect from a fantasy fable and since the film doesn't take itself too seriously neither should you and just enjoy the fun.
