I saw this as an attempt to make some possible franchise dollars by using the classic Universal Monsters. Unfortunately, it didn't work for many reasons..one thing I will say is that this didn't damage the reputation of the Universal Monsters permanently. It just wasn't that important in film history's scheme of things.

The best special effect in this wasn't the awful Dracula, the Monster's lightbrite head or Mr.Hyde channelling his inner-Hulk. It was Kate Beckinsale's incredible ass in those tight pants.
