It made my eyes bleed...

Van Helsing.....

If ever there was a case of a film that shouldnt have been made its this one!
Why oh why did they feel they had to cram in every single victorian monster story???

We had Jekyl and Hyde, Frankenstein, Dracula, Werewolves, Igor..... and for some insane reason Van Helpuke was allegedly the Angel Gabriel, though conveniantly he had forgotten that small fact.

Add to that the terrible script, awful plot, and dreadful special effects and you've got a film worthy of the nearest shredder.

A classic case of film makers relying to heavily on the special effects team, which in this case let them down catastrophicaly. It was, as a friend of mine commented;

"like watching a Hammer House of Horror movie on steroids!"

This movie goers advice is to miss it entirely.
