Before there was the Dark Universe, there was Van Helsing. Seriously, this movie was amazing, really don't understand why it didn't do well enough to get a sequel.
Underworld series is pretty similar in terms of vampires and werewolfs and its R rated, it's not van helsing but it is similar. Plus Kate beckinsale happens to be in it too
Well what's nice about the EXTREME gorey violence of this movie is you can keep it 13, because monster/robot violence doesn't count i mean DID YOU SEE Frankie's MONSTER when his head split open?!
7:53 "Van Helsing played by Wolverine." I love the fact how most of us alredy know who Wolverine is, to the point that there is no need to say Hugh Jackman XD
If Hugh Jackman pursued his vampire hunting career… This is where it would’ve started. Kind of sucks that the dark fantasy genre never really achieved the same heights of the superhero genre, but when you ignore that under twelve crowd... doesn’t matter how much sexual tension you put in I guess.
Dark fantasy also plays a role in marvel, the wolf man, the mummy and Dracula are enemies to famous marvel characters such as Blade. It is a shame that these monsters are somewhat forgotten in the marvel franchise.
@@zachbernardo8770 i agree however MORBIUS the vampire from marvel comes out this july(If this coronavirus mess is over lol)and is part of the MCU!!! And supposedly a blade reboot is also in the works for the MCU :) finally gettin the darker stuff in marvel
Marvel can pretty dark too. Wolverine depending on how they handle him and Punisher are pretty dark. I would love to see Jon Bernthal get a shot at John Wick Style Punisher film. Deadpool also gets pretty messed up at times.
This movie inspired me to write - or at least attempt to write - my first book. It started in 2007 and I've been on and off the project for the last 13 years. I've more often than not lost faith in the project...but every time I get any glimpse of this movie, it seems to revive my drive to see the project through and strengthen my resolve to finish it.
I LOVE that shot of the brides gliding down behind Dracula in their flowing gowns. Their costume designs are stunning. Looking into making a version of Verona's gown for myself
still love how they portrayed the werewolf here. ngl i also like how the lycans were shown in underworld but nothing surpasses the amazing cgi of the werewolf here. it's like, correct, in some way.
fun fact: they had actually pitched the idea for a sequel that would've included the Invisible Man and the Loch Ness Monster, but it never made it past pre-production before it got axed. :(
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid and made me love the werewolf and vampire genre to this day. I played this movie on repeat and know every line of this imo masterpiece
I would absolutely love to see a Van Helsing/Mummy mashup with these two guys! I loved the Mummy moves with Brendan Fraser and obviously Hugh Jackman is the man!! For the love, someone make this mashup movie happen!!
Classic, canon timeline, or Lords of Shadow timeline? I know LoS isn't canon, but I did love the story and the plot; it gave you such _feelz_ for the Belmonts!
My favorite part of this movie are the werewolves, they look so awesome, they are true werewolves. If anybody would ask me what the best werewolf you ever seen in a movie I would say Van Helsing.
This movie still has one of my favorite depictions of vampires. I love how, here, they're beautiful, seductive, but it's a facade hiding a literal blood-sucking monster.
This is my favorite horror/monster movie of the last 20 years. I saw it in the theater when it came out, and fell in love with it. I would like to see more old monster movies made with the dark,early history feel this movie has. It didn't hurt that Anna was beautiful, along with Dracula's brides. I will always be a fan of this movie.
The (magnificent) Dracula done immense stupidity by killing Doctor Frankestein - with his intellect he would've likely make the vampires reproduce & immune to the sun
Absolutely love this movie. When it was released I was 13 and it had such an influence on me. I remember watching it many times. It's got an amazing lore. I wish they made it a franchise.
"A mash up where all the monsters where put together in the same story hadn't been done since the 1940s"....apparently someone has never seen the Monster Squad (1987) which had Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolf Man, the Mummy, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon all in one movie.
@Emo Tion i think skyrim's vampire lord form was more based off of underworld's marcus corvinus, the werewolf form i totally can see it based off this movie
This, American Werewolf in London, and Underworld. The Holy Trinity of amazing Werewolf design. Can't forget about Dog Soldiers and Cursed though, as well as Ginger Snaps
My all time favorite monster movie. Perfectly cast and perfectly created monsters that still hold up to this day. I wish we would of gotten a sequel or two.
I think if we send this through the right channels to Hollywood it can be done hell all the actors are bored to death in quarantine from what I hear If they can make star wars go dark they can make the dark universe darker
Im so happy everyone here thought the same of this movie, what a gem of action and horror The werewolves were the greatest ever no question about it but I also loved how they depicted Frankenstein's monster as a sympathetic and human creature like the books but this one decided to be better than his creator in a sense.
I'm pretty sure the "Brendan Frasier/ Hugh Jackman" mash up ship sailed a long time ago when Universal tried to reboot the Dark Universe property. It's a nice thought, but I don't think we will ever see it.
I liked the movie, but i didn't like the Backstory they gave to Van Helsing, where it's revealed he's the archangel Gabriel. I wish he was the original Van Helsing who's ancestors hunted down Dracula but failed and died at every attempt, and even witnessing the murder of his father by the vampire count.
I think I heard a weird story where Dracula ran a motel for monsters and he had a daughter who married a ginger. I don't remember where I heard the story though.
I actually didn’t mind it since in some stories, Dracula or vampires in general are considered the children of the Devils. Gabriel was also an angel of the same level as Lucifer so it adds in a cool relationship component, they should’ve made it apparent that he isn’t a van Helsing but instead someone who was trained by them after he came to earth that would’ve been a bit better
Uhm...you realize Kate Beckinsale's character pretty much IS Van Helsing, right? Same backstory. The whole reason Van Helsing is there in the first place is because she is the last of her line and if she dies, her and her ancestors can't get into heaven. Or did I miss something?
@@Megatron_95 It can be seen as an "acquired taste" kind of film, but once you get past the shakiness it's actually pretty cool. Solid 7 out of 10 stars. ⭐
I think in a novelization, it sneaks in a tie in with Castlevania with a nod to the Belmont family. Can't quite recall if they were distantly related, or just their paths had crossed at some point & remained on good terms with each other.
@@sirenofthesea7802 yeah like all things in the castlevania we're all other clans are related to the Belmont's. The van helsing could also be related to them. But i think the belmont's are inspired by the helsing tbh.
Thanks a Lot for this upload! *The* most underrated movie of its time! The movie that has the most badass and even interestingly unique approach to all classical monster species such as Werewolves, Vampires and even Mr. Hyde
The one thing that I remember from this movie was the woman swinging on a rope across a good distance and slamming into a brick wall, and being totally fine, then later getting tackled by a werewolf and immediately dying.
I came to say how much I enjoy this movie and thank Niyat for another excellent video, and was doubly rewarded to see all the love for the film from my fellow fans.
In a perfect world we got a crossover between Van Helsing and Rick O'Connell fighting against the Terracota army with the Mejai and the Knights of the Holy Order granting aid.
It’d been cool if Van Helsing could have been part of The Dark Universe they were planning on. But I liked the idea of a Mummy/Van Helsing crossover too. Hear me out on this one Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter/Van Helsing crossover lol
Hands down the best werewolves in *ANY* cinematic universe. And the steampunk weapons ! This should have at least had a sequel, if not made it a trilogy. Better than anything Hollywood's turned out in the last few years, for sure.
They kind of used up all the best material on the one movie though. I wish there was a continuation but you couldn't really continue the story what with Dracula getting killed. There could be a prequel movie about some of the other adventures leading up to the movie but that's about it. I would rather it be left alone than be ruined with a shitty sequel that doesn't live up to the original.
I absolutely loved this movie back in the day, in fact I think this movie sparked my love for the classic monsters even more, I remember watching this movie a lot and then I wanted to learn more about the classic monsters so ever since then my love for the classics grew to where now I want the Dark Universe to start and bring back the classics so bad. Despite the bad reviews of this movie I think it was on the right track and had a great idea that I personally feel like it this is how it should of started the dark universe with Van Helsing as the main character fighting the monsters in multiple movies & building up to the biggest baddest monster of them all. Even if Van Helsing wasn’t the main character in some he could still be the connection between the film’s helping other characters out with whatever monsters they were dealing with. Also I personally would love to see Hugh Jackman return to this role, I think it be great to see him as an older man with way more experience as a hunter, ready to go so every time he comes into the fight you know your in for a great fight scene. Awesome video by the way
I love Van Helsing actually, the cast of characters all all interesting, the over the too acting reminds me of old black and white films. Plus it feels like Castlevania before Netflix
This is probably my favourite classic monster movie ever made. I love all the adaptations of the werewolves, frankenstines monster, vampires, Dracula, his brides and Dr. Hyde. I love the cryptid/ monster hunter version of Van Helsing too. The film overall is just amazingly done
We *all* sMaSH the vampiric Brides - Let us all be honest about it(!) The Werewolves superiority has been shown physically; albeit the werewolves unironically controlled by vampires
![[Gegagedigedagedago] NEW Help Gegagedigedagedago Nugget escape from Nikocado Avocado Challenge](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hJWnwRC2Fz8/mqdefault.jpg)
Still the best Werewolves and Vampires ever shown. Such a great, underrated movie.
Yes indeed
There are parts that should have been done better, but still good
They should create second movie
Cough cough Underworld
Greatest balance of beauty and deadly
Before there was the Dark Universe, there was Van Helsing.
Seriously, this movie was amazing, really don't understand why it didn't do well enough to get a sequel.
The video game was cool.
honestly to this day, i still think the Werewolves are the best looking ones!
maybe its a good thing it never got too popular, a lot of things are ruined by popularity
I loved it too!
I liked it
Probably THE best designed werewolves in cinematic universe.
or the lycan from underworld
Lycans from Underwold say hello
eh, a little cartoony. They remind me of the Tazmanian Devil. American Werewolf is still best and most frightening imho.
Tyler Moore underworld werewolves come in a close second 👌🏼
Matt werewolves or Lycans?
This movie has THE best werewolves ever in cinematic history. I love this movie. Thanks for doing a video on it.
@@nicktechnubyte1184 I'll raise my glass to thay
Nah
I think american werewolf in London has the best werewolves in movies
Jakku NoShi agreed. Is it weird that I found the werewolves design very cool.
Amen to that. Hands down best Werewolves.
This movie deserves a reboot. I would love to see a R Rated movie based on Van Helsing
@@thearchitect813 True. Most Hollywood executives and producers are lazy.
I think Van Helsing deserves the Castlevania(Netflix Cartoon) treatment
Underworld series is pretty similar in terms of vampires and werewolfs and its R rated, it's not van helsing but it is similar. Plus Kate beckinsale happens to be in it too
Well what's nice about the EXTREME gorey violence of this movie is you can keep it 13, because monster/robot violence doesn't count i mean DID YOU SEE Frankie's MONSTER when his head split open?!
No reboot could be this good. You cannot set out to create a classic. You just have to make a good movie and see what happens.
Please don't let them make a reboot or a remake they'll probably ruin it
The movie made me feel really bad for poor ol' Franky boi. 😥 When he screams "Why" sent chills down my spine.
7:53
"Van Helsing played by Wolverine."
I love the fact how most of us alredy know who Wolverine is, to the point that there is no need to say Hugh Jackman XD
Hah! You beat me to it, I was going to comment that too.
I was going to say the same!
Whait who is hugh jackman?
And kate beckinsale became the death dealer in underworld..🤣
Hugh Jackman is Logan, that if fact
12:30, I liked how they made Dracula scarier and more menacing as director Stephen Sommers wanted to see him with a 50 foot wingspan!
This movie was WAY ahead of its time in terms of effects and the plot was amazing. One of my favorite monster movies and movies altogether.
I had a crush on Kate Beckinsale ever since Underworld and this one. The werewolves in this movie were awesome!
she was freakin' haaaaawt in that one i must admit, such a babe
SAME.....she is still in my top 3 fav of all time
She looks like a man
This is more evidence as to how phenomenal of an actor Hugh Jackman is
@music is timeless hey pal, you just blow in from stupid town?
Note the irony that helsing's only sin was after his amnesia, the killing of a relatively innocent person.
I was way too young to see this movie in theaters, but I did anyway, and wow, what an experience on the big screen
If Hugh Jackman pursued his vampire hunting career… This is where it would’ve started.
Kind of sucks that the dark fantasy genre never really achieved the same heights of the superhero genre, but when you ignore that under twelve crowd... doesn’t matter how much sexual tension you put in I guess.

Man if they made a sequel I would watch it in a second
True, it was way too adult like the Pirates of the Carribean franchise but that genre didn't last more than 5 years.
Marvel can pretty dark too. Wolverine depending on how they handle him and Punisher are pretty dark. I would love to see Jon Bernthal get a shot at John Wick Style Punisher film.
Deadpool also gets pretty messed up at times.
FUN FACT: the actor who plays dracula in this film is actually married to one of his vampire Brides in real life.
Which one?
thats sweet
@@saljpal3 The one with black hair and the green dress. Her name is Silvia Colocca I believe.
Yes The One With The Black Hair. The Second Bride to Die in The Film.
The leader of the brides
The choice of having the skin rip off to reveal the beast beneath was such a good choice. :)
AHHHHHH the first time I watched this channel I asked him to do a van helsing explore and he's finally done it thank youuuuuu
Back when Hollywood still gave a semblance of a crap about quality.
This movie was dookie tho
Hence the term "semblance of a crap"

Wolfman has nards
I was thinking the same thing when he said that lmao
Jonathan Mulondo: And we’re going to need a virgin!
Two scooby-doo movies from the 60s also have all of those monsters together
I liked this movie, thought the vampires and werewolves were dope af. I Can see why people couldn't get into it like I did tho
Yea it was very stylized, I loved it though.
@Emo Tion i think skyrim's vampire lord form was more based off of underworld's marcus corvinus, the werewolf form i totally can see it based off this movie
The Brides are a lot of fun. It's great they are given such big roles and agency.
Van Helsing played by Wolverine. Well played Niyat
The crossbow from this is still one of the coolest weapons in a movie.

They should hire Stephen Sommers to fix the Dark Universe.. clearly he knows what he’s doing
I think if we send this through the right channels to Hollywood it can be done hell all the actors are bored to death in quarantine from what I hear

CGI held up pretty well
Van Helsing teaming up with the O'Connell family is something I would have really liked to see.
