Like a roller coaster ready to fly off its rails!
The film Van Helsing comes to the screen.
Do you like horror/thriller films? If you do then this is the right film for you. This family action packed film is enjoyable for the young years and old years to watch. With the main characters being Hugh Jackson and Kate Beckinsale this film is definitely going to hit the big screens.
At the beginning of the film its in black and white to give you the effect that your watching the best gothic novel in past years and many to come in the future. Big characters come into the scene e.g. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dracula, The Wolf Man and Frankenstein.
Were Firstly introduced to the famous Dracula as he tries to steal away the monster Frankenstein creature.
Flash forward to a year later when the film changes to colour introducing Van Helsing the vampire hunter who works for the knights of the holy order at Vatican city. Then Van Helsing and Anna Valerious make there way to Transylvania to capture the vampires that are working for count Dracula
Its now up to Van Helsing, Carl and Anna to track down and stop what the evil count Dracula has in store for the people in Transylvania. As he tries to kill count Dracula he manages to be the first person to kill a vampire in 100 years with the help from Anna Valerious.
With most of the horror out the way there’s a little bit of romance that goes on between Van Helsing and Anna Valerious.
From beginning to end, Van Helsing is full of violence, as you would expect from a movie this sort. It often dwells on disgusting details, such as bursting vampire bats, rotting flesh, and the transformation of the wolf man, which involves his human skin ripping off to reveal the hairy beast beneath. (which does a reverse sequence, his fur sheds to reveal human skin underneath when he turns back into a man.)
