Plot:
As another entry in the video-game-to-movie genre, Alone in the Dark certainly delivers in terms of its splattering gore and number of things that get shot or blown up with the kind of arsenal ...( read more

MCT:May 9, 2008To quote the great Peter O'Toole as Pope Paul II in Showtime's magnifiscent "The Tudors": Why doesn't someone just get rid of him?

This one is unwatchable, a miracle that I managed to sit through. A story that hardly makes sense, bad camera, bad animations and absolutely horrible acting...

Fun to watch - but couldn't resist mocking it the whole way through. Bad-ish movie but good for a fun night

I could tell from the opening credits of The Marine that it was gonna be a long two hours. With Alone In The Dark, I knew ten seconds into the opening crawl.
As expected from Toilet, the action here is lame-o. There is a small glimmer of hope early on when Christian Slater shoots through a block of ice, but alas, it was nothing more than a fluke.

As expected from Toilet, the story here is lame-o. There was no glimmer of hope. I dozed off twice.
There is a brief shootout in the darkness about halfway through the movie (mind you, that's a guesstimation-- at least it felt like it was halfway through) that is reminiscent of Kurt Wimmer. This is the highlight of the film. But that ain't saying much. When it comes to shooting action scenes, Uwe Boll is number one at being number two. He is best when using CG to cover his many, many, many, many, many, shortcomings.
Alone In My Room is slightly better than Bloodrayne, not nearly as doo-doo as In The Name Of The King: A Dung Siege Tale... but still boring as Hell and equally lame. -

"Fear is what protects you from the things you don't believe in." (Please note that this quote was only included as an example of the dreadful screenwriting. Each line is as corny as this very quote)
Alright it can be that bad! Alone in the Dark is bluntly a fruitless, steaming pile from Uwe Boll that is hardly watchable, much less memorable.
Usually I can look at a recently produced film and say that it looks good because it's well made, or it might have nice production design; but with this mess I felt that nothing looked good on-screen - quite honestly it's all tremendously ugly! It looks like someone gave an untrained monkey a camera!
Boll is pathetic when he's placed behind a camera, and what's worse is that every person who worked on the movie did an abysmal job. The opening few minutes did nothing to engage me; it's nothing more than stupid violence and unnecessary uses of slo-mo that Boll seems to think "looks cool". The entire duration of the movie keeps becoming more and more painful, stupendous and painful to watch.
Alone in the Dark is basically about a paranormal investigator (Slater) who discovers some strange things that then leads to some creatures getting set loose and many people getting killed.
There are several things that stood out after viewing the film. First of all, the dreadful acting. Christian Slater could not act to save his life. I guess that's what happens when a wooden actor works with a terrible director. But the film's lowest point was casting Tara Reid in the part of a scientist. I don't have any clue why she was even placed anywhere near this film. She does not look anything like a scientist or anyone of any intelligence for that matter.
And I could not believe how shocking the unnecessary sex scene was. It was out of place and put in there just for the sake of a sex scene. Sometimes I wonder not only if Boll has no clue about how to make a movie, but I also wondered if Boll has ever even seen a film.
The directing was appalling, contrived and incompetent. Cinematography was another of the film's low points. Seeing bullets leaving a gun in slow motion is completely unnecessary and used to poor effect. The CGI used in the film for the creatures is AWFUL! The creatures looked bleak, dull and unrealistic. I honestly thought the CGI had to be some kind of joke. One must wonder how Boll got an enormous amount of cash to make the movie and still come up with dreadful CGI and such a steaming pile of horse manure for a movie!
Alone in the Dark is highly stupid, illogical and a complete disgrace to the video game. This film ain't worth your time, so leave it alone and never even consider watching it or you'll probably suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome for the rest of your life!
