Stephen Sommers directs Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale and Richard Roxburgh in this sloppy wannabe blockbuster using the iconography of the Universal Horror series. 

Fucking awful. The potent imagery of the 1930s classics, Jackman’s normally radiant charisma and a lot of money is drowned out by woefully amateurish CGI and unpleasant characters moaning endlessly during the choppy action. I cannot believe I gave this a second chance. Frankenstien’s Abortion would have been a more apt title.
