Van Helsing is a very loud, very obnoxious, very chaotic, very noisy movie. Characters yelled a lot, there was a bunch of mind-numbing action, cgi creatures, and then it was over and I was fine with that. Pretty good FX … Continue reading
Good looking and very bad movie. Not much of a remake – which is fine since why bother remaking the exact film – but they missed what made the first movie effective – and almost unwatchable. Paranoia and claustrophobia – … Continue reading
