This may turn out to be the scariest movie Judy ever sees, and truth be known it wasn't that scary. A couple of scenes that might gross one out, and a couple of shock scenes that startle more that shock, but not that scary. This is a classic good versus evil movie, with... well I won't say who triumphs. Roger Ebert describes Van Helsing as: "... silly and spectacular, and fun." And I would agree with that assessment. I wouldn't take small children even though this is only rated 14A. My biggest dislike was Kate Beckinsale's hokey Russian accent. I'm sure they didn't speak English in Transylvania, but if they did it wouldn't be with a Russian accent.

Storyline From Yahoo: Set in the late 19th century, monster hunter Dr. Gabriel Van Helsing (Jackman) is summoned to a mysterious land in East Europe to vanquish evil forces... evil forces with names like Count Dracula (Roxburgh), the Wolf Man (Kemp), and Frankenstein's Monster (Hensley). Assisting him once he gets there is Anna (Beckinsale), the heir of a long-running family committed to hunting down and destroying Dracula.
