Her brother has become a werewolf and she is conflicted about whether he should live or die. Anna (Kate Beckinsale) is the last survivor of a family of Transylvanian vampire hunters. As a reward for his centuries of service, he hopes to make his way to Heaven instead of Hell. The story: Van Helsing (Jackman) is essentially a bounty hunter of supernatural monsters, a job he took on at the request of the church as apparent penitence for sins he cannot even remember. Kate Beckinsale does magnificent physical feats while squeezed into a corset. Hugh Jackman as the tortured hero, filmed in the dark all of the time, makes us weak in the knees. As it is, the plot is almost pretextual for the special effects. Were it not for these two gifted performers, this movie would be beyond silly.
