Van Helsing

Van Helsing is a film based on Abraham Van Helsing, a character from Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula. Van Helsing ties Frankenstein Count Dracula and Wolf Man together in an interesting twist.

Gabriel Van Helsing, played by Hugh Jackman, is sent to Transylvania to kill Count Dracula. Van Helsing is joined by Anna Valerious, who also wants to kill the Count. Upon their arrival they discover some interesting things going on in Transylvania.

At the outset, we may fear Sommers is simply going for f/x overkill, but by the end, he has somehow succeeded in assembling all his monsters and plot threads into a high-voltage climax. "Van Helsing" is silly and spectacular, and fun. — Roger Ebert
