About Van Helsing
Deep in the mountains of Carpathia lies the mysterious and mythic land of Transylvania -- a world where evil is ever-present, where danger rises as the sun sets, and where the monsters that inhabit man's deepest nightmares take form. Innovative filmmaker Stephen Sommers -- who so imaginatively re-envisioned Universal's classic Mummy character in the worldwide blockbusters "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" -- now widens his cinematic scope and multiplies his creative inspiration by breathing new life into the most time-honored pantheon of classic Universal monsters and setting them in a stunning new world of fantastical reality. Sommers' all-encompassing vision for a world as tangible, real and visceral as any caught in the stranglehold of inescapable evil blends the recognizable and the unimaginable into a vivid, epic backdrop for his tale of ultimate evil against a lone force of good: Van Helsing.
"Van Helsing" is rated PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned -- Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13) for non-stop creature action violence and frightening images, and for sensuality. Please consult www.filmratings.com or www.parentalguide.org for more information.
