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

- Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2024I enjoyed the movie and wanted to get the soundtrack. So I did. I don't regret it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2019OK, 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019Item was packaged awesome. Nice Bubble wrap bag. CD was/is in new condition. No skips or flubs in sound quality. Arrived quick and painless. Thank you!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2013Just 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...
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2013Was fun to read what I had watched as a movie. Came through amazon and the seller did a good job getting it
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
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2014For 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2013The 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2019The score is very memorable in this badass movie! This soundtrack is best listened to during Halloween season! I heard it played at Haunted Houses!

Thomas FuhrmannReviewed in Germany on August 2, 20105.0 out of 5 stars Absolut gigantisch
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.

ベルリン忠臣蔵Reviewed in Japan on June 15, 20045.0 out of 5 stars 全力疾走中身無し
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。
