The film opens with evocative black and white images of the vampire hunters including Helsing (Rhett Giles), who are going to hunt down the Dracula and other vampires. It was 100 years ago, and Helsing succeeds in his mission, but has to pay the price later, losing his wife he left behind.
And Dr. Abraham Van Helsing is still living as young handsome doctor in one LA hospital because he was given an eternal life by the Catholic Church in order to kill all the vampire princes on earth. Until then, he is not allowed to die.
To be fair, the story is not bad. But the shoddy editing and poor acting ruin what little merit `Way of the Vampire' has in the first five minutes. I am willing to turn a blind eye to the low-budget production designs, but this is unacceptable. Lighting is so dark that you cannot see the actions clear enough, and the `stake' that should be driven into the heart of vampire looks like a sprig.
There is no `so-bad-so-good' fun here. Not even campy fun as in `Scream Blacula Scream.' Avoid this, and see Hugh Jackman's `Van Helsing' instead, It is not a classic, but 100 times more entertaining
