Absolute Drivel

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2004)

I'm a huge fan of vampire movies and so have been waiting with great anticipation for Van Helsing to open in the UK. Went to see it last night and am still in shock. I honestly have never seen seen such a disgraceful, shockingly bad acted, wretchedly written, hackneyed movie brimming with those horrid CGI graphics. The film, ultimately, is a hodgepodge of scenes/ideas stolen from other films i.e. Shrek, Bond, Wizard of Oz etc. Vampire films should be chilling, thrilling and have air of darkness that unsettles the viewer. This was pure pantomime, absolute high camp. Please, if you value your lives do not go see this film, it's a true turkey!
