Superstar Hugh Jackman is Van Helsing, the fabled 19th century monster hunter who travels to distant and dangerous lands on his quest to vanquish evil. He must battle classic villains Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and the Wolf Man-all of whom return to the silver screen for this epic and dark horror adventure. The ravishing Kate Beckinsale joins Jackman in his crusade against darkness, while the modern master of horror Stephen Sommers astutely directs with an affection for the classic horror films of the 1920s and 30s.
