Alone in the Dark (2005)

Edward Carnby (Christian Slater) is a private investigator specializing in unexplainable supernatural phenomena. His cases delve into the dark corners of the world, searching for truth in the occult remnants of ancient civilizations. Now, the greatest mystery of his past is about to become the most dangerous case he has ever faced. With the help of his ex-girlfriend, archaeologist Aline Cedrac (Tara Reid), and his bitter rival, government agent Richard Burke (Stephen Dorff), Edward is about to learn that just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it cannot kill you!

Complete waste of time

Two words.... Ewe Boll. This movie was just plain horrible. I can't think of a single saving grace. The direction was bad. The special effects were bad. The acting was bad. The script was horrible. I think this movie killed Christian Slater's career! Over all, it's almost 2 hours of my live I wish I could get back. September 25, 2007

Hip movie!

Regardless of what people might say when they hear of "another Uwe Boll movie", this movie is in fact fun and entertaining to watch. Stephen Dorff in particular plays a really cool character!

The director is an enigmatic and compassionate man who loves the games on which most of his films are based. Yes, granted: they're not epic movies, but if you just want to sit down and watch action for 90 minutes, they certainly deliver.

What I don't understand, is how people who has only seen one Uwe Boll movie, can say that the director can't make films. This year alone, Boll has six movies coming out. Surely there are people who like his work. Personally, I believe "Postal" is hilarious, and is the equal to "Team America: World Police".

Simply because "Blood Rayne" wasn't one of the best movies by Boll, everyone feels the right to critisize him. He's not allowed to make a less accomplished movie? Whereas, "Out Of Sight" by Soderbergh and "Ready To Wear" by Altman are considered greats? They're movies that should be labeled "awful".

To the people who hate Boll for the movies he makes: I love his movies, and adapting a video game to this medium IS difficult. However, if you must critisize a video game adaptation, take the "DOOM" film, which I think is one of the worst movies ever, in the history of worse movies. September 5, 2007
