Read all of our reviews of Van Helsing here. All of this is a great improvement over last season’s string of anemic narrative. I don’t see them giving up a life they’ve locked down for two years. The Johnsons all have survival skills, it’s possible they’ll all go on the road together if something happens to Mike and Ethan. We know Axel, Doc, Phil, and Lucky are all looking for Vanessa, but what is Vanessa looking for now, after she hacks up Sam? There was no sign of Phil and Lucky this week either but “A Home” was a clever pivot episode. The blade ninja appears briefly, at this point, I don’t know what the purpose was for the ninja’s opening scene with Mohamad. There is still no call back from the red balloon scene in the season opener, which is fine. I don’t know why they hold story here, there’s no way she can let Sam live, why do we have to wait a week to see the hackdown? Vanessa finds Sam but the episode ends before we see the showdown. Vanessa wants to kill Sam, brutal and out of sight from judgmental eyes. She tells Julius to return to Mike and the others and fall back. All the corpses in the hall are missing fingers, Vanessa knows Sam must be close. Vanessa and Julius go in first to see if it’s safe, we know it isn’t. Vanessa, not one to follow rules, crosses to investigate. Mike says they’re never late, but he’s not supposed to cross onto their territory. Mike and Ethan lead them to a bridge, but the other group doesn’t arrive. He invites her to a meeting in the morning with another group of survivors they trade with. Julius immediately takes to the compound, he likes kids and it’s just what his humanity needed to root.Įthan confronts Vanessa about her negative attitude, he doesn’t want it spooking the kids. At the same time, they give fun little story lessons in security and conduct real life fighting skills. Vanessa doesn’t like the idea of child soldiers, but Mike and Ethan are doing their best to preserve what childhood these kids have available in the vampire era. Together, they lead, train, and educate a platoon of orphan kids. The adult leader, Mike, introduces his group as “The Johnsons” and leads Vanessa and Julius back to his woodland compound.
#Van helsing season 2 axel skin
The kid leads the skin wearing vamps into an ambush where a squad of archers take them down. Vanessa breaks loose and follows but this child isn’t exactly prey. Apparently, child is their favorite, like pepperoni. A child wanders into the vamp camp and they chase it deep into the woods. These nasty vamps try a sample of Julius, but they don’t like his bitter taste. A minute later, they’re attacked by a sinister tribe of vampires that wear human skins sewn together like ponchos. Julius and Vanessa discover a pair of humans hanging upside down from a high tree branch, completely skinned of their flesh. This diabolical sequence is its own little horror movie, but it isn’t alone.
Sam prevails, gives Felix the Mohamad haircut, then cuts out is tongue so he doesn’t have to hear Felix assert his real name. He tries to escape, he almost rescues the other kids, and he almost locks Sam outside where the sun will destroy him. Christopher Heyerdahl gives a perfectly creepy performance menacing and unsettling, capable of heading into any dark corner. Sam is determined to make Felix his new Mohamad. Ryan cries and pleads for help until Sam stops and feeds on him. Sam brings bully Ryan to the pool for ten lashings, the same number Felix endured. He toys and torments Felix with affection and sign language. Sam, on the other hand, embraces his inner predator. Axel is a vampire, but he’s still pure Marine. When Axel’s cravings hit hard, he makes Doc rope and spike him against a tree to keep him from feeding on people. Axel and Doc are shown briefly, he hasn’t had blood in days though Doc keeps offering. This episode features several people off hinge. Vanessa could care less, she has a lot of killing to do and nothing left to anchor her. She hacks up many ferals, no one will miss them, but Julius warns her, powerful vampires are still hunting her. Julius, her new best friend, follows and helps when he can. With Dylan out of the story, where does Van Helsing go and why? She begins her period of grieving with a violent rampage. Van Helsing stumbles violently through a world without Dylan and discovers a new group of survivors in “A Home.” This was a crucial episode, the first since closing Van Helsing’s original journey.
