Famed monster slayer Gabriel Van Helsing is set to stop Dracula who uses Dr. Frankenstein's research and a werewolf for some sinister purpose but uncover some unsettling secrets along the way.
This moronic abomination is not a movie. It's just a noisy, nasty and repulsive video game-slash- theme-park haunted-house ride designed to appeal to the offspring of warlocks and trolls.
A special-effects extravaganza that uses the barest of excuses to bring these characters together.
Antagony & Ecstasy
May 16, 2011
The already-lousy House of Frankenstein as done up by a filmmaker whose idea of style is to make things as loud and busy as possible... A screaming, noisy, overedited mess of a movie.
A chaotic blur of recycled archetypes from classic horror flicks, action sequences unbound by laws of gravity and physics, and CGI special effects that somehow manage to appear ridiculously expensive and unconvincingly obvious all at once.
The horror flick, at its height, was a lyrical caressing of our fears; by the end of this nonsense, you fear for the well-being of the genre. 'It's dead!'
