Van Helsing

Director - Stephen Sommers
Starring - Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, David Wenham, Richard Roxburgh

Van Helsing is a typical Hollywood blockbuster, completely brainless drivel which looks great. We follow the hero Van Helsing as he hunts down Dracula and his many minions pausing only for the obligatory love interest. The film is fast paced and absolutely full of special effects but otherwise completely derivative and horribly formulaic. It plays out like a ghost train ride and is about as satisfying or scary. If they spent just a bit of the time they obviously put into the special effects on writing a coherent story then this might have been slightly less painful and confusing.

Gore - nope this got a PG rating

Vampires - the worst Dracula ever
