“I would kill myself before I aided in such a task”
“Feel free, Victor. I don’t actually need you anymore”
That’s honestly such a perfect line. So curt and ambivalent, there is no drama in his delivery, just a statement of fact. He’s outliving his usefulness now that the creature is built.
Yep, I came here specifically to grab the clip of:
"I could never allow him to be used for such evil..."
"I could."
Only a few seconds later than the feel free line, but same kind of delivery. Dracula truly is an evil monster and he sees absolutely nothing wrong with it. No pity, no remorse, he's an uncaring, heartless abomination and he's totally okay with that because he doesn't have the ability to have a conscience or feel bad about it. They honestly did a surprisingly good job of making him come across as truly awful, but he's not really malicious in the sense of wanting to harm others, he just has his personal goals is all and if they happen to harm others, well that's just too bad, their problem, not his. It actually makes him a strangely well-written villain, because it requires the constant reinforcement of the idea that he doesn't hurt anyone for personal pleasure, it's always to serve some other goal, and even the townspeople realized that and used it as a defense. Yeah, sure, one or two people may go missing every few months, but that's actually a fairly slow attrition rate compared to dealing with armies and wars, and the vampires make it so no army wants to go anywhere near there, so they actually kind of view it as a good thing.
I think they based Raphael from BG3 on this guy
Stephen Sommers did a spectacular job of the universal black and white homage to the classic monsterverse. Who could ever learn to love a monster?
Monsters are misunderstood just like humans. We are alike in more ways than we are different.
And this is thE best incorporated monster idea ever!
Shooting something in b&w === being the mosr utterly spectacular masterful genius great splendid master of all times
Dracula and his beautiful brides for one.
Some things don't need learning
I will defend this movie until I die. This is still one of my favorite versions of Dracula
So true
He looks like an aging emo band member or an MCR reject. This design choice makes the vampires of Twilight look like masterpieces. Just awful.
I was once hated it, But now I love the shit out of it. Anyway I agree This Dracula is awesome also his Brides are so hot in this movie for sure.
@@OilFreeFeathers excuse me? these vampires are exactly what they need to be they are monsters, a vampire is undead devoid of life and bare in emotion
Without any doubts the best, sleekest and fancy Dracula ever - perfect as he should be!
I know he didn’t realize what Dracula was, but I love it when he jumps and goes "Oh, Count, it's just you."
Yeah, it's *just* Dracula!
Oh, Count, Pardon me, but you seem to have a spot of jam on your face. Napkin?
"Oh, hi Drack. Just a sec. Got an angry mob to deal with here."
He did know Dracula was a vampire
@@user-rl2rw3tp6s yeah he just didn't know his evil plan
@@user-rl2rw3tp6s then why was he surprised to see that dracula just walked onto the sword like nothing
I like how dr. Frankenstein cared about his son instead of wanting to use him as a tool and how his son was trying to kill Dracula after seeing his father die.
The best father of the year goes to Dr Frankenstein. He died while protecting his son
Frankenstein was a better dad in the first 5 minutes of this movie than he was in the entire book
@@danny_decheeto8300 tbh the creature (Frankestein's monster) was really demanding in the book and a tad malicious.
@@The-Deadite fair nuff
@@zcgamerandreacts2762 it’s actually a fun twist from the book. In the novel Frankenstein adores his creation right up to its animation, seeing it as a perfect being, but after it takes its first breath his perspective shifts and he views it superficially as an abominable wretch. Of course the irony of that being that Victor’s monster was more human than himself. Instead of that this movie portrays victor as legitimately caring. I can only assume the monster from this portrayal is just as intelligent as in Mary Shelly’s original novel, and in the book the creature begins to speak fluently only about a 9 months into his life, if that rate of understanding remains relatively constant the creature could have been one of the most intelligent beings to ever live. Fun to think abt.
"Whhhyyyyyyyy" Such a beatiful voice.
A true monster is not defined by appearance alone, but also it's inability to voice or empathize with the pain others endure. Frankenstein was no monster.
@@emeraldtabbycat148 As I recall, the creation never was a monster - but an imperfect and tormented soul. He is created, the world hates him and tries to kill him. He tries to love, and is hated and spurned in return. That pain's impact on his soul is what is truly engaging to see explored in the different versions of the stories.
I understand. The true monsters were the ones who couldn't see past his monstrous visage. Couldn't see the sad, wounded soul within.
Reminds me to Serj Tankian ahaha
Because the actor is an opera performer.
Everything's perfect. The cinematography, the lighting, the way they did the sky to make it look like in the original. Glorious
i know right?? watching this again, i just noticed this movie had a lot of great artistic direction, the black n whites, the silhouettes, the character & weapon designs, its so underrated
They nailed the old universal monster tone
Also the black and white effect made it even better
4:12 the way Dracula transforms into his demonic vampire form even though we only saw his shadow is really terrifying and spectacular at the same time, is a sign of a living nightmare coming very soon.
The Alpha Draconians can't enter the planet anymore.
This movie wasn’t the Dark Universe movie we needed but the one we deserved.
I rather to watch this instead of the 2017 Mummy.
And this movie was directed by the same man who directed the The Mummy remake and its sequel. In my opinion, that series and this film share a universe. The REAL Dark Universe.
True.
Other way around
Needed and deserved
1:10 I love how that look-back is done, making it clear that from Victor's perspective, Dracula was still visible to him on the catwalk the moment he heard the slam, and he looked back to make sure there weren't 2 of them lol.
You mean, on the fireplace mantel
5:16 so emotional scene. That poor Frankenstein is surrounded by those monster people who are burning the windmill and he can’t do anything to save himself but to scream 🤥😓😪
And the fact that he cried out "why?" and was sad that the doctor his father was dead.
That made the scene! Who was the real monster here. They chased him down and set the building on fire only to have the “monster” question why they would do that to him since he had done nothing to them at that point.
@@dinoflagella4185 correct.
Frankenstein is actualy the surname of the creator of this monster, if you don't know.
@@dinoflagella4185 Well think of it like this. How did Dr Frankenstein make his "Monster"? He dug up the graves and stole body parts from the deceased from the villages. He disturbed the final resting place of these peoples loved ones to create this creature.
Yes the Creature itself is innocent, but to these people, the bodies of their loved ones have been violated and butchered all for a mad-mans desire to play god. Anyone would be angry about that.
Imagine the potential if they just made a cinematic universe in the style of this movie. Things like Victor making a deal with the Mummy to fight Dracula in return for resurrecting his dead lover, or Dr Jekyll trying to kidnap the Frankenstein Monster in order to replicate Victor's work, leading to Hyde vs the Monster. The Wolfman constantly being used as a pawn by both sides, while he just wants his curse to be cured so he can go home. There is so much untapped potential for movies!
But instead we get Tom Cruise teaming up with Shield to fight an undead horde of cgi goons in a modern city. Thanks, Hollywood.....
What if Dracula and the Mummy had a buddy cop movie were they wrapped up criminal cases? :D
Why couldn't you make the monster movies I wish you did
@Philip D'Alleva Yeah, Van Helsing would be a key player, introduced in the Dracula movie. His mission is to protect the innocent, and destroy all monsters. Therefor he's at odds with Larry Talbot, who is cursed to be the wolfman. Larry's watched over by the fortuneteller, Maleva, who tells him to seek out Doctor Frankenstein, who may be able to cure him.
Frankenstein is name dropped in the Dracula movie as one of Dracula's investments other than carfax abbey. After the mob attacks, he is constantly on the run, changing his name and wearing disguises. His loyalties lie with Dracula at first, due to his funding being provided by Dracula, but he later switches sides.
I think Igor should be a scheming, immortal man like his original appearance, rather than the hunchback servant (who was named Fritz in the original). Igor has his own plans that go against Dracula, Van Helsing, and Larry. A 4 way battle of wits ensues, full of deals, betrayals, and heartbreak.
TokuTickler I’m making a video series on this very topic, My Friend
A version of Mr Hyde that's a combination of him and Frankenstein's Monster would be interesting.
The moment when Dracula goes out from fire gives me chills. I don't understand why this movie is so underrated, this is a masterpiece.
The critics man, those pansy assholes ruin what would have been a pretty cool line of movies following this first one
Far from a masterpiece, but it's still a fun movie.
Visually, this movie was stunning. Had cool cgi and designs but had a bad plot and too many characters.
@@morgumal literally had the best dracula monster and werewolf design though.
The fact that he’s still trying to fight back, even as his life is being stripped away, is heartbreaking for Frankenstein to witness.
What are you even talking about?
@@JD-re3cj He’s clearly referring to the shot of Dr. Frankenstein pulling the sword out of Dracula and lifting it in the air before succumbing to his wounds.
3:52 i love this scene so much, the way he puts out the fire is so sick
But he had to fix his hair mainly
Gattsu Brando They prolly made a puppet first then scanned it
I have always loved this movie's idea of vampires having two forms: beautiful human and monstrous flight form. I'd love to have something like that in a D&D game.
Also this is my favorite Dracula.
D &D is dungeons and dragons right?
@@Reyna_Amaturi Yes :)
Castlevania did it better, I think.
Try Legacy of Kain
Curs of strahd my dude
I love how fast Dracula moves around in this scene, just appearing in places.
Short-range teleportation is actually one of Dracula's abilities from the book -- once he knows exactly where his destination is and how to get there.
@@filthycasual8187 I’ve read the book, but forgot that.
This movie's Dracula was something else- on the one hand he speaks calmly and politely, and on the other he kills without even the slightest hint of remorse. He is truly a master-class villain.
"Father."
I literally always want to cry during this moment, but I can't.
I don't blame you. I saw this movie over a decade ago and the way he says it and how heartbroken he is before falling. For me it always seemed like was more worried about his father than himself. Truly heartbreaking to watch and that scream is so sad
stephen sommers managed to create a fun and enjoyable universal monster shared film than what the mummy remake didn't do
Hyde was the best part of the remake the rest fails in comparison
wait you talking Tom cruise or Brendan fraser
@@xxiSHTAr9000x tom cruise
If this was their entry for dark universe it would have fared better than the mummy remake.
This movie is now 15 Years Old. And still holds for a Fan favorite, Even if review are not good but It get a Cult Following even stronger now!
I agree
Megalon73 I love this movie since childhood even though i was scared at beginning of this movie at first
Screw the critics. They are retarded.
I couldn't agree more 👍👍👍
I consider myself a person who really values quality films, but I sure enjoyed the hell out of this one. From the very start to finish. Amazing and fun, ain't no critics that could change my perception of this masterpiece (in it's own way)
1:52
Victor: I would kill myself before helping in such a task!
Dracula: Feel free, I don't actually need you anymore
Simple yet hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
“Success!”
The jump scare with Dracula was perfectly timed.
When I saw this in the theater when it first came out, it caught the audience totally off guard.
I wish I could have seen it in the theatte
I wish I could’ve seen it too in theaters
Kaz haan:Count it's just you.
This movie has my favorite designs for Frankenstein’s Monster and the Dr. Frankenstein, Dracula, vampires, werewolves and Igor
Yeah
And Igor 🤣
The designs are great in this movie
You know your badass when 3:56 fire doesn't bother you and you put it out just by a snap of your shirt.
Dracula: Well... That was inconvenient. Time to fly & retrieve what's mine.
@02091992able that was his coat, not his shirt
Well, mere flames don’t kill a vampire.
@@jackleighton1566 not even if the vampire was burnt in sunlight?
@@scotthamp384 God what a party crusher .... loser take the fucking joke!!!!
This was an awesome movie.
Damn strait
Seriously underrated.
Still is an awesome movie
Critics disagree. But then again, viewers disagree with the critics.
Underrated movie for sure. It also managed to bring in the most badass looking Werewolves I can think of
i LOVE that they did this opening sequence in black and white, it was quite an awesome throwback and really added to the aesthetic of the moment
I believe this movie was supposed to be the first in a series of monster films following Van Helsing.
However, due to the negative reviews and poor box office the film series was canceled. A shame that was, the movie is criminally underrated so unfortunately we will only have this one.
At least it has earned somewhat of a cult following.
This would have been a brilliant kick off to the Dark Universe. It's dissapointing they just rehashed The Mummy instead.
But I liked it. 😓
@@number1connieconversefan This was made back when film trilogies were the big thing. Modern cinematic universes really started more or less with Marvel and not until 2012 really.
Honestly critics ruin everything
I think a big problem was the budget (160 Million) theres clearly interest in a project like this but they should really keep the budgets under 100 million
I luv how good of a character Dracula is in this movie also he switched from comedian to die hard monster real quick
6:03 Aw, he called him father.
& subtly @3:22
But why he called him father? That dr was working for dracula against frankenstein
@@farjanaakter6255 his brain hasn't developed after being born. But after the knowledge kicks in, he becomes smart later on.
@@jasminnemcdonald94A ok
1:01 shows the first glimpse of the monster Dracula actually is. It's so fast you might miss it but it's so brilliant how the film makers worked in time with the flash of light. I adore this movie more and more!! Still my favorite version of Dracula to date.
Had to run it back several times, but NICE CATCH!
This is how you combine Universal's greatest monsters in one movie. This movie has everything, shame it never got a sequel. Either way, this movie respects the monster lore.
I always looked at this movie as a prequel to the mummy movie
Would have been funny if Victor and his creation had escaped when Dracula's back was turned as he gives his little speech. The count pivots back around and sees the door swinging on it's hinges; both the prize and dinner gone.
@I'm just a dog "AS I WAS SAYING, VICTOR..."
"You sly dog, you got me monologuing!"
Watching this growing up, this version of Frankenstein was my absolute favourite and he still is!! It always break my heart when he says why, it’s like he’s in pain.
The pain of losing his father
Rare to see both victor frankenstein and his creation be good people.
@@rdr2v1nce7he’s still a grave robber though hence the mob. If he was using prostitutes he’d killed the peasants would have probably been like yeah fair enough he’s doing God’s work.
10 year old me: Mummy, what's absinthe? I guess it's a flammable thing
26 year old me: Absinthe. Whoever owned that windmill was an absolute lad
Note the empties. That guy had a liver too powerful for this earth
@@Deadlock239 It was Oliver Reed.
@@fromthecheapseats7126 he and Richard Harris used the windmill as a hotel during their Eastern European booze cruises
I'm amazed that people hated this film when it came out; to date, this is the single most faithful depiction of Frankenstein's monster I've seen in a film
I genuinely cant tell if your joking or not.
@@funtimewithnickandfriends1998 I mean it was pretty accurate, and it was done well
Y'all haven't seen the Hallmark miniseries
It's a fun homage to multiple versions before it, including nods to the book for sure. Faithful in aspects of personality to the book but ultimately far from it.
If the movie stayed like this, I would have loved it. But it became an action movie more than a horror movie.
I really love how this Frankenstein is a mix of the cinematic monster and the actual book monster, yeah he’s really ugly and a shambling brute, but he’s tortured, poetic and a reflection of his creator
Frankenstein’s Monster was never portrayed as evil. He’s always just trying to be good. Kinda wholesome.
No. He was curious
I love Richard Roxburgh's accent in this movie. He's so cool!
This is such a great movie... I love all these dark characters like mummy, frankenstein, werewolf, dracula ❤️
Git köpek kedi ye
@@alikoktas4050 Racism.
1:20 I love how Dracular, devoid of joy and love, tries to keep a friendly demeanor and not monstrous 😂
Felt bad for Dr. Frankenstein especially when his Monster tried to kill Dracula for killing him.
And the fact that the Monster yelled out "whyyyy" and then said "father" looking at the doctor before the tower collapsed.
This is what the new monster universe should be, the Mummy 2017 was trash
Kristian Dimnik With the exception of Mr. Hyde. The Mummy‘s version of him is pretty much the best we have gotten in modern times.
Too bad Dracula Untold didn't do better
Untold isn’t apart of the The Dark Universe
Wow has it been three years already? Damn.
The 2010 The Wolfman is how the Dark Universe should have been attempted. Van Helsing started strong with that scene and then focused on action.
Action is good, but should not overshadow horror in a horror movie.
"im already dead " "NANI?!"
Ore Wa Mou Shindeiru!
Dio?!!
@@exen3980 No, Kenshiro
@@DiggitySlice Dio is a vampire
Actually the term (if I'm correct) is "undead"
The opening and the ending made me cry and may I say that this movie showed more respect to the universal monsters then the dark universe ever did
This movie deserves part 2.. It's had all the amazing characters .. We need more movies like this tired marvel DC superheroes.. These classic characters are best
2:49
I'll take the Baraka-vampire over the fangless modern vampires(Twilight, AHS) any day!
Just one statement will make my mother flip out. That is VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE instantly gets her pissed off at me.
1:01 if you pause it for a split second you can see his monstrous true form as well
What is AHS?
Nice reference to MK
@@J_C_CH damn i try pausing it but it was fast
This is one of the only versions of Victor Frankenstein that seems to actually care about his creature after it's brought to life. The 'Monster' also doesn't hate him, and speaks almost fondly of him, even though he only had a few short moments with his 'father'.
Van helsing is a good Halloween movie ever
He just got borned and had to run, carrying his dead father while people burn the place he entered to find shelter. And his first word was a desperate scream "WHY?"
heartbreaking
1:05
I love he's visibly confused by Dracula's teleportation XD
I love this movie, it was my favourite as a kid. Really emphatic character, frankenstein, i loved how he read the bible, it made it creepy but emotional at the same time
Gosh this was a good movie, Dracula and Frankenstein's creature were very well done.
so was the werewolf. Best looking and terrifying werewolf ever.
One of the best if not the best horror/fantasy films ever made. Richard Roxburgh as Dracula & the 3 brides were the stars.
4:11 the Vampire Roar !
Let my just say that Van Helsing is the best Universal Monster Movie ever made 😊🙏. This here is just a master piece of light VS dark when two old enemies colloid with each other once more.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures. Love this version of Dracula, you can tell Richard Roxburgh is having a blast playing him. Imagine if the whole film was in black and white, it works so well for the opening.
Someone needs to make a black and white version of this movie, I thought it already existed but it doesn't.
Why didn't the Dark Universe go in this direction?
Because talent
Because of alex kurtzman 🤢
Because the multiple script writers, Alex Kurtzman and all the rest of it didn't have as much talent as Stephen Sommers had in his little finger.
Because they didn't have the balls to do it this well. Also Tom Cruise insisted on being the central plot point over what the movie was named after.
The Dark Universe needed to be straight horror, not action horror like Van Helsing.
More like The Wolfman 2010 ,rather than like this and the Tom Cruse Mummy
1:01 Did I just see his vampire form for a second there?
Nah you're just tripping
@@ambiank4980 okay..
Slowed down it looks really awkwardly photoshopped in haha
I did! Its really subtle and nice way of introducing the character without him stating who he actually is
@@jamesb1956 Well, its JUST Dracula! Clearly no one has a clue who Dracula is.
I don't understand why they gave this film negative reviews, this is a masterpiece.
There are lots of great parts in the film but I remember the plot being slightly convoluted
I love how the movie portrays the vampires surrounded in shadow while they are flying during this scene
1:28 a triumph of science...over GOD!
I just did it for the line that’s all
@@guyver3662 eren yeager died☹️
Love how the actor playing Victor Frankenstein pays homage to the original actor with his: IT'S ALIVE!
Lol that’s hardly paying homage. If he didn’t say that line then it may as well be my little pony
@@JD-re3cj It is paying homage. In the novel Victor Frankenstein doesn't say that, so I assume it was an ad lib by the actor. Well, maybe It was in the script. It's a cinematographic invention, nonetheless
All these years later I now feel robbed that there isn't a version of this film that is all in black and white.
You could change your screen setting when watching it.
@@dorianmichaelis1727 it’s not the same
"Actually, to the film's credit, it does follow the book a little more in actually having the monster be intelligent and well-spoken."
~Doug Walker
I loved Dracula's transformation into his beast form it suits his demonic nature
2:50 Dracula is pennywise confirmed
the real monster was the mob
Yes it's was the people
I enjoyed how this movie incorporated three of the Universal Studios' greatest monsters (wolfman, the Frankenstein monster, and Dracula) into one epic movie.
It's too bad that they didn't follow up on this movie to build their failed Dark Movie Universe. They had a Hell of a start with Van Helsing.
0:00 when you wake up in monday morning
Cracked me up real good hahahahaha XD
lmaooo so truee
😁😁😁
When i wake up everyday in the morning😎
I liked this version of Frankenstein and his monster because here he treated his creation like a son and it seems he was kind to everyone in turn even those who others shunned......sadly it didn't save his life but it lead his "son" down the right path in life and was enough to tell him to throw a big ass coil at that bastard and try to roast him
Dracula rising from the fire pit was badass.
I like this version of Dr Frankenstein he cared about his son
“I could never allow him to be used for such evil”
“I could” 😂
The face and the way he says it makes laugh hard I don't know why
@@tibaazher2792 right lol
Man, this man KILLED it as Dracula and so did Frankstein's monster! I mean sure, he doesn't look at all per the book, but man that horrified wail of "WHYYYYYY~?" always gets me. So well done.
This is still my favorite version and design of Frankenstein's monster.
From the voices to the artwork to the music- a movie couldn’t have depicted frank any better!
1.51 victor saying he would kill himself before being a part of Draculas plan and Dracula responding with "feel free I dont actually need you anymore victor" . Love this movie doesn't get enough recognition.
when universal studios tried to start a whole universe with multiple movies dedicated to each of the famous classic Hollywood monsters and fail to do what a movie in 2004 did with the werewolf, dracula, frankenstines monster, and dr. jeckle and mr. hyde
I remember being just in my teens and my brother showing this movie to me. Was scared shitless for ages! He’d pirated it and let me sit with him and watch on the computer a lovely moment but got years I was worried of monsters
Best Frankestein ever!!
3:58 Dracula/Alright fucker guess were gonna do this the hard way .
Love that scene
I miss this director, stephen! so awesome! he managed to bring those '''the mummy' ' VIBES back into this awesome flick!!! I really want another fun movie like this!!! THIS IS A GREAT OPENING!!
2:34 Such a great demonstration of part of Dracula’s Power.
Dracula: “You can’t kill me, Victor…” *shoved himself through the sword….. closes in on him….. “I’m already dead.”
The movie may have been cheesy as hell. But the monster designs were phenomenal! My favourite representation of Frankensteins monster ever! And need we even bother compare the werewolves to twilight or Underworld?
This version of the werewolf is perfect in my opinion, beats every design in cinema history
@@ReckSaber3664 Indeed yes
Cheesy? I guess you didn't see the part where Dracula used *superhuman* strength! 03:50
The underworld werewolf designs weren't so bad
Love this opening. A brilliant piece of acting, writing, and directing for this movie.
He is just 2 minutes alive and already the people want to kill him
I say the same :why?
The people know he is up to no good. He's been grave robbing and there are, you know, rumors.
Fun fact: Leonardo DaVinci hired grave robbers to bring him bodies to dissect. People figured it out, soon enough, and the local police came to DaVinci's door. Being a monied/status citizen, DaVinci was able to deflect them away.
Aside from the fact this is Southwest Romania in 1887 were grave robbing is still considered a terribly stupid idea because... vampires.
Fun fact: Vampires are originally reanimated corpses feasting on blood so people back in the day did everything for the dead to REMAIN dead. Any open grave where a body is freshly buried the day before is not a good thing to know...
The most accurate representation of Frankensteins monster to DATE
One of the most underrated movie.
Keep seeing this movie show up on my newsfeed and I gotta say, it’s kind of nice. I grew up watching this movie and have loved it since I first seen it. Seeing videos here and there is kind of a good memory to just randomly see
Jennifer B nostalgia yesss.... just like matrix series and lord of the rings
Enony Muz Exactly! I absolutely adore seeing things I grew up with, for example Lord of the Rings. I have an obsession with the series, also own some merch too lol
4:01 That healing process was really well done.
If only this Frankenstein's monster had his own stand-alone movie.
Just watched Van Helsing for the first time and……it’s one of the best monster movies I’ve ever seen, especially this opening scene.
Best Frankenstein and best Dracula and Best of them all The best werewolf ever made!!!
The sheer and utter fear when Dracula bursts through the castle roof and the vampires come, the score, the look of the villagers...they know this is something else. Something much, much darker, older and more powerful. Something that can't be beaten with torches and pitchforks. This scene never fails to make me shiver...
In my opinion, that lady fainted because she realized they were trying to kill an innocent. Her fainting after that heart wrenching "WHY?" and not when it showed itself is proof.
Cara, que cena incrível que esse filme possui, até agora não vi nenhum filme do Drácula que possa ser melhor este filme, filme repleto de cenas marcantes.
Do you know that the scenography of the laboratory was the same of the first Frankenstein?
This movie is just like Ghost Rider. An absolutely fantastic movie, purely for it's aesthetic and vibes, with a simple but entertaining plot. As long as you don't try to take it as serious, highbrow cinema.
Not to mention, it features the best looking werewolves I've ever seen.
5:16 i have goosebumps from his WHYYYYY
