The Hollywood ReporterKirk Honeycutt
This creature feature is exhilarating fun, a richly designed and often quite funny re-exploration of the movie past. Read full review

Dallas ObserverGregory Weinkauf
This beast is as subtle as a Red Bull enema, but it succeeds magnificently as compulsively watchable spectacle. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
A movie that's underwritten, overdirected, overproduced and almost constantly over-the-top. But it's also, at its best, a big tongue-in-cheek extravaganza. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene Rodriguez
For all its tangle of characters and plot twists, Van Helsing isn't the slightest bit involving, and more than once (especially whenever Beckinsale is onscreen), it is unintentionally hilarious. But it's the rare kind of movie where the badness just adds to the fun. Read full review

Horror classicists may be upset at his tampering with monster mythologies, but everyone else will just be going along for the ride, and they’ll have a terrific time. Read full review
