       Count Dracula kills Dr Frankenstein to use the monster for his own nefarious purposes but the monster escapes.

       Vampires and other nasties plague European capitals. Vampire et al hunter Van Helsing (Jackman) fights the evil.

       Yes, it’s ludicrous. It’s not meant to be taken seriously. But how fun is it? Not very. Not even gorgeous Hugh Jackman can arouse much interest. Still, for his sake
