European Crypitids
How europeans deals with them
The only thing I vividly remember from this movie is the pretty lady just about sitting on Hugh Jackmans face.
I love this movie. It's probably one of my favorite schlock fantasy movies. The casting was way better than it had any right to be - Hugh Jackman, sure, but Kate Beckinsale? Well, I guess she was fresh off Underworld, so she was still in that headspace. And Richard Roxburgh doing the perfect amount of scene-chewing for the villain.. introducing himself properly as Vladislaus Draculea.. and the opening scene, shot just like a 1920s Universal monster movie! I legitimately think it's the closest we'll ever get to a live action Castlevania. I could go on, but I'll spare you. Might be time for a rewatch.
The sets, the wardrobe, the direction, the acting. All of it is so good without taking itself too seriously. It's from the same director of the (good) Mummy movies, so go figure
Waaay classier
