Product description

SOUNDTRACK VAN HELSING

Amazon.com

Bram Stoker's original literary Van Helsing dispatched his nemeses-of-the-night with but a crucifix, a few simple wooden stakes, and a dash of garlic. But this CGI-driven, 21st century Hollywood take on the vampire hunter is bigger, bolder, and, judging from veteran Alan Silvestri's thunderous, goth-on-steroids orchestral score, definitely more bombastic. Courtesy of director/big-budget monster revivalist Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Mummy Returns, The Scoropin King), Hugh Jackman's title character now faces off against Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, a giant werewolf, and Mr. Hyde. With an appropriate lack of subtlety, Silvestri seasons the action set pieces with some gloomy, Herrmann-esque brass, jolting doses of massed percussion, the occasional shrieking choral homage to Carmina Burana--and (for some ears) precious too little of Franz Waxman's haunting, neo-Romantic horror-film lyricism. But then, overwrought popcorn epics call for overwrought popcorn scores, and the bold, epic scale of Silvestri's music can't be denied; it has as much alternately jolting/nervous energy as a double-dose of caffeine. Enhanced CD features include an interactive game trailer, game playing clues, a photo gallery, and preview of a comic book merchandising tie-in. --Jerry McCulley

    I enjoyed the movie and wanted to get the soundtrack. So I did. I don't regret it.

    OK, so Van Helsing wasn't a hit at the box office. Actually, it's not a bad movie about a vampire-hunter and his assistant hunting and being hunted the score is excellent and SFX are high-quality. The musical section where the heroine's body is consumed on a funeral pyre is excellent and worth a furtive tear.

    Just the cast alone is enough to make you intrigued. Hugh Jackman & Kate Beckinsale. She could be wearing a clown suit and she would still draw an audience. In any case, the action sequences are great, the storyline is kind of trite and contrived, but it is a movie, so get over yourself and enjoy! It is not supposed to be "Oscar" worthy, and these days, most of those movies are not either...

    here along with the soundtrack. the soundtrack sounded like a sound track for a change. They kept the ending romance melody at the end instead of deleteing it from the CD

    For fans of paranormal, this movie is a keeper! A sexy hero, fun use of several fictional characters besides Van Helsing, like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde :) Add in an evil army of vampires and a sexy heroine and it's a must watch!

    The Van Helsing soundtrack by Alan Silvestri is another great buy. The conductor and his orchestra make this soundtrack an excellent by. Amazon came through again. The CD arrived days before scheduled. I recommend Amazon, wholeheartedly.

    The score is very memorable in this badass movie! This soundtrack is best listened to during Halloween season! I heard it played at Haunted Houses!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolut gigantisch
    Reviewed in Germany on August 2, 2010
    Der Film ist schon wahnsinn, aber der OST ist einfach gigantisch. Da können sich einige andere OST's mal ein-zwei Scheiben von abschneiden.
    Wer auf gute, actionreiche Musik steht, dem ist dieser OST zu empfehlen.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 全力疾走中身無し
    Reviewed in Japan on June 15, 2004
    19世紀のヨーロッパを舞台に、ドラキュラ、狼男、フランケンシュタインの怪人などと戦いを繰り広げるモンスター・ハンターの活躍を描いた映画のサントラ。スコア担当は「バック・トゥ・ザ・フューチャー」や「フォレスト・ガンプ」の作曲で知られるアラン・シルベストリ。
    劇中では様々な怪人が登場するため、それに合わせてテーマを描き分けているのかと思ったが、どうやらそうでもなさそうだ。というより、終始ガンガン鳴りまくっていて、ほとんど区別がつかない。収録時間は40分そこそこだが、最初から最後まで全力疾走である。燃えるスコアが好きな人にはたまらないだろう。
    テーマも脈略も稀薄で、人によっては評価が別れるかもしれないが、私は好きである。シルベストリの得意とするアクションスコアに、重厚なコーラスが相まって、やかましいくらいに盛り上げてくれる。印象的なテーマはないが、その分アクセル全開状態なので満足感はある。
    なお、本CDはエンハンスド仕様となっており、ゲームの紹介や劇中のスナップなどが収録されている。全12曲、総収録時間約42分。
