The version on Tubi at the moment has English subs for the Spanish dialog.
Oh wow. I thought she looked a bit familiar, but it never clicked with me. I mostly remember her from White Squall and Disclosure, but didn't recognize the cute nurse at the beginning was her.
I liked the 2010 Wolf Man. I think the longer cut on the blu-ray helped it, and was better than the theatrical release.

Sounds like they aren't about monsters, but rather about MANsters.
I think the music is one of it's strong points. I can see the mix being an issue, but I didn't really have much trouble understanding dialog on the recent blu-ray release which uses the original theatrical mix. There were maybe two times I turned on subs for a second to catch a line I didn't get, but I like the Tangerine Dream music quite a bit.
She varies her expression about as much as a stone carving.
She did look still look very pretty in this, and sexy. Was nice to see. I'm 95% certain those ass shots where she's on her stomach are a double. Too bad they did that. Would have been better to see Sean's real body, instead of the obviously too perfectly sculpted younger person they stuck there.
About 81 minutes in he is in a wheelchair when Harker and Quincy meet him at the office of some public official. He mentions having had a slight stroke, but is obviously able to start walking again a bit later.
I just watched this last night. I had seen it a few years ago, but after seeing the new <i>Nosferatu</i>, have been revising some of the older Dracula movies. It's okay, but my style of Franco film. I think it's too restrained, and feels like one of the Hammer films before they began spicing things up. Some locations look great. Herbert Lom was a pretty good Van Helsing. And I liked the sequence with Lucy at the park beckoning the child who she later kills. But then there's that (stuffed) animal attack sequence, which is pretty funny. There's a lavish pretty new 4k edition from Severin that I'm sure is definitive, but I just don't enjoy this one enough to buy it. Thankfully Tubi let me refresh my memory.
I see that Peter Strickland is listed as the writer, but I'd always been under the impression this was another adaption of the story "I'm Dangerous Tonight", which was made into a movie in 1997 and then done as an episode of the TV series The Hunger in 2000. The plot seems a bit similar. Did Strickland say he was inspired by those, or the original 1937 short story by Cornell Woollrich?
It is a very beautiful theme. Watched this for the first time tonight and that theme really stood out. Stuck in my mind as I'm going to bed.
This video of the opening of the movie has the theme.
