Hugh Jackman’s Cult-Classic Universal Monster Movie Finds a New Hunting Ground on Streaming Next Month

Legendary monsters have certainly had their time in the spotlight, but when does the monster hunter get his turn to shine? With recent arrivals like Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu and Gary Dauberman’s Salem’s Lot showcasing the power of the bloodsucking undead, who will step up to tell the tale of the fictional man who put his life on the line to fend off these terrifying creatures? While there may not be a movie in the works, audiences can soon tune into Peacock for the timely drop of 2004’s action-horror flick with a side of unintentional comedy when Stephen Sommers’ Van Helsing embraces the fight against the powers of darkness on October 1. Starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale, the critically panned film may not have the most outstanding reviews, but its campy leanings have solidified its status as a timeless cult classic that still holds up more than two decades later.
