The greatest monster hunter of them all has his work cut out for him as he tracks down three deadly foes in this
action-
adventure saga.
Gabriel Van Helsing (
Hugh Jackman) is a man who has dedicated his life to battling evil forces who exist outside the bounds of nature;
Van Helsing's work has not always made him friends, and a false accusation of murder still trails him. But when he's summoned to Transylvania at the behest of
Anna Valerious (
Kate Beckinsale), whose family has been fighting supernatural beings for generations,
Van Helsing wastes no time answering her call. There,
Van Helsing discovers that the undying vampire
Count Dracula (
Richard Roxburgh) has put a misshapen creature named
Igor (
Kevin J. O'Connor) under his spell, and, in turn, has forged an alliance with a hideous monster (
Shuler Hensley) who was created by the misguided
Dr. Victor Frankenstein (
Samuel West). Adding to
Anna's burden is her brother,
Velkan (
Will Kemp), a lycanthrope who becomes a bloodthirsty wolf under the light of the full moon.
Van Helsing also co-stars
Elena Anaya,
Silvia Colloca, and
Josie Maran as
Dracula's vampire brides.
