"An exciting horror spectacle that combines Frankenstein, Dracula, and Biblical lore with elements of the James Bond series. Essentially a vampire-hunting chronicle, Van Helsing offers crisp special effects and lightening-quick editing, plus the campy one-liners we've come to expect from warm-weather blockbusters. It's easy to sniff at such an entertaining jumble, to decry the glibness with which studio films try to cover every base. But that's what a popcorn flick has to do, and when it's done reasonably well there's no shame in tipping your hat." - John P. McCarthy, ReelTalk Movie Reviews
