Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film is an apolitical action-horror spectacle centered on a clear good vs. evil conflict, where a heroic individual fights supernatural threats. Its core subject matter and narrative solution are primarily focused on fantasy elements rather than promoting any specific political ideology, leading to a neutral rating.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps for its characters. Its narrative focuses on a classic good versus evil conflict, presenting traditional identities neutrally or positively without engaging in critical portrayals or explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

FemPower: YesConfidence: High

The film features Anna Valerious, a skilled monster hunter, who successfully engages and defeats multiple male, monstrous guards in direct physical combat using a sword and her fighting skills.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Van Helsing does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual relationships and monster-hunting, with no elements that could be interpreted as queer representation, leading to a classification of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film features established characters like Van Helsing, Dracula, and Frankenstein's Monster, all of whom retain their canonically male gender from their respective source materials. New characters introduced are not gender-swapped versions of existing ones.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film features characters like Van Helsing, Dracula, and Frankenstein's Monster, all of whom are traditionally depicted as white in their source material and prior adaptations. The actors cast in these roles in the 2004 film are also white, with no instances of a character's established race being changed.
