In this episode I’m diving into Van Helsing (2004) with a fan commentary and reaction, starring Hugh Jackman! Join me as I experience this action-packed monster adventure, following the legendary vampire hunter as he faces Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, the Wolfman, and more. With gothic visuals, over-the-top action, and a mix of horror and adventure, Van Helsing is a bold, fun, and unforgettable ride. I share my thoughts, reactions, and impressions as the film unfolds — from the performances and creature design to the epic set pieces and unique tone that blends classic monsters with a modern cinematic spectacle. Whether you’re a longtime fan of monster movies or revisiting this 2000s adventure, this is a film full of iconic moments worth reacting to.

More recently on my iPhone.

1:22

I had bought this about three years ago on a Blu-ray, which is the version I'm watching now.

1:29

But I had bought it to watch on my 1080p projector at the time.

1:33

And like I do when I normally get a film, I test the film out, watch a little bit and go, yeah, I'll watch this at some point.

1:40

But I never got round to it.

1:42

So now I'm watching it on my 4K projector.

Still the same Blu-ray version, but it gets slightly upscaled.
