Van Helsing (2004) Single Disc Edition [DVD]

I stuck this amazing movie on as me and a lady friend of mine got it in our heads to rewatch this modern classic. As many would agree draculas brides are quite eye catching despite their ferocious tempers, my lady friend also agreed. After copious amounts of alcohol during the night I think Mr Jackman and the vampire brides must of given us an extra bit of randy-ness as not long after the movie started we got down to business. Unfortunately as I decided to take the dirt road after a slight amount of before play (not too much of course) the film kept restarting. Although this wouldn’t usually be a problem, the opening of the film is quite blaring and almost put my little man off what he was doing.Movie: 10/10Opening scene: 8/10 could be less of a distraction when trying to get it on

good product

A great “classic” film. I bought it as I couldn’t find it on any streaming services and thoroughly enjoyed it, almost as much as the first time I saw it years ago.

I love this video

Love this movie, great special effects

Gabriel Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman - X-Men 1-3 Box Set (6 Disc) [DVD] [2000]) turned up on the steps of the Vatican half dead and unable to remember his past, aside from the odd dream and nightmare. Since then he has become a hunter of abnormal and supernatural beings. He does this on behalf of the "Knights of the Holy Order", a secret organisation run by the Vatican.After "dealing" with Mr Hyde he returns to Rome and is told that his next mission will be to go to Transylvania to assist the Valerious family in conquering Count Vladislaus Dracula (Richard Roxburgh - The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - 2 disc Special Edition [DVD] [2003]). If they fail to destroy Dracula they will be cursed to never enter the gates of heaven.Van Helsing takes with him a Friar called Carl (David Wenham - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition Box Set) [DVD]) who is the Order's version of Q, coming up with all of Van Helsing's gadgets, and the films comic relief.Arriving in Transylvania they meet and team up with Anna Valerious (Kate Beckinsale - Underworld Trilogy [DVD] [2003]) and go in search of the way to beat Dracula.The start of the film recreates the old black and white Frankenstein movies. Simon West's "It's alive" line was sublime for me (I am a fan of the old black and white horror films that I watched as a child). The Frankenstein monster is played by Shuler Hensley and Igor (Kevin J O'Connor - The Mummy [DVD] [1999]).This is the usual fun film from Stephen Sommers, in the same vein as the The Mummy 1, 2 & 3 Steelbook Box Set [DVD] [1998], etc. It does not take itself too seriously. And there is Kate Beckinsale is there in tight pants for those who like her, and Hugh Jackman and David Wenham for the rest of us.All in all it's a great family film - fun with scary bits.

Daft action romp. Not horrific at all, and definitely doesn't take itself too seriously.Nice idea, blending together different gothic myths (Dracula, Frankenstein, werewolves) with a sort-of cowboy style, setting it in the Victorian era and running amok with mad FX. The werewolves are a tiny bit rubbish and the baby-vamps cgi is pretty dire, but the brides of dracula are actually pretty nifty, as if the man himself when he gets to bare his fangs.There's a vague hint of nudity but nothing explicit. Violence is similarly bloodless.Lots of running, shouting and shooting.Great for Saturday night.6/10

Arrived on time

Great movie

The media could not be loaded. É um dos melhores filmes que já vi

Die wohl beste Verfilmung zum Thema Van Helsing. Der Film macht jede Menge Spaß. Schauspieler Top und Effekte immer noch gut auch wenn sie etwas veraltet sind, das tut dem Film aber kein Abbruch. Die Blu-Ray ist Pflichtprogramm für alle Vampirjäger! ;-)

Amazing picture and sound on this 4k version of the film

Bel film.
