    Bad but fun. Slater, why?! The chase scene with guy who cannot be shot was cool.

    Terrible. Terrible, terrible movie. I pity the game franchise - sharing its title this movie must be like lugging around a giant sack of puss. Might be good for mocking with friends, but that doesn't make it excusable. Bad!

    "I don't think we're supposed to be here"

    What a goddamn mess. There's so much crap to write about this that I woun't even bother. The best scene is when a bomb explodes, leaving the whole screen full of dust. That's how much I liked this waste of time.

    I don't think we're ...( read more)supposed to watch this film...

    HAHAHAHA! I can't believe I saw this in theaters. This is not so bad that I would demand that Uwe Boll stop making movies entirely, but there are problems so glaring as to be impossible to ignore. I respect the pressing need to put an end to this damn mess, but more pressing alwa...( read more)ys is the need to end it well. There's also this hilarious sex scene that comes out of nowhere, as if spliced in from another movie. Oh man. Watch this ironically, because it's really the best way to enjoy it.

    Not great but any film featuring sexy Tara Reid and Christian Slater brandishing a Colt Anaconda revolver has got to be worth a look.
  • September 20, 2009
    I can't believe Slater used to be good. Tara Reid (described in the synopsis as a young genius anthropologist with an incredible memory - High Unintentional Comedy) is the worst actress...EVER. Putting these two together has made this Ewe Boll's masterpiece of shit. And Ewe Bo...( read more)ll has a long line of crap he has put out there, but this one takes the cake.

    Putting Christian Slater AND Tara Reid together?? Abosolute Anti-Genius. This is like Wile E. Coyote walking up to Bugs Bunny's hole in the ground, pushing the buzzer, and introducing himself as Wile E. Coyote, SUPER Genius....by the end of the movie, he introduces himself as MUD (spelled backwards is dum).

    P-Uwe Boll is Wile E. Coyote!


    HOLY CRAP, Someone made a SEQUEL!

If you took the 100 worst ideas ever conceived for a science-fiction film, rattled them around in a Lotto tumbler and spilled them out onto the screen at random, you could not produce a more asinine h... full review

Saying Uwe Boll's Alone in the Dark is better than his 2003 American debut House of the Dead is akin to praising syphilis for not being HIV. full review

    Personally, I thought Alone in the Dark was better than The Descent.
