Van Helsing
Famed monster slayer Gabriel Van Helsing is dispatched to Transylvania to assist the last of the Valerious bloodline in defeating Count Dracula. Anna Valerious reveals that Dracula has formed an unholy alliance with Dr. Frankenstein's monster and is hell-bent on exacting a centuries-old curse on her family.
Critics Sentiment
Black and white Frankenstein prologue with Dracula killing Victor
Anna and Velkan hunt werewolf but Velkan gets bitten
The film peaks early with its praised black-and-white Frankenstein homage then drops significantly during the poorly-received werewolf sequences.
Van Helsing starts strong with a beloved classic horror homage but struggles with inconsistent CGI and an overstuffed plot. While some visual elements like the vampire brides earned praise, the film never recaptures its opening magic. Critics found it entertaining popcorn fun despite its flaws, landing it in solidly average territory.
