From my favorite movies..

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Admirable film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I'm a real movie afficionado, as many of you are. I like quality movies, regardless of plot. I'm no snob. But you can't fool me, because I know you've done the same mistakes I have as an adult: Watch complete crap til the bitter end! What's my defence, you ask? Just got Netflix. It just appeared there. I had time to spare.This starts as a standard horror movie, and no spoiler, this is the lines written before the movie starts; about ancient forgotten native Americans nobody remembers but they screwed up and opened a portal they FORGOT to close, to a dimension with horrible being wanting to take over earth. Good job there! But it's got Slater and Dorff in it, it could not be...that bad, right? AND - it's got lots of artefacts! Artefacts are cool, right? (20 Of them!!)About 15-25 minutes in you realise this is just not a sub-par horror flick, it's a punishment, it's actual abuse of adult viewers. I mean, I'm putting my rep on the line here telling you I've seen this. Can I write a best seller about this at least...and get some money? "I saw Alone in the dark - How I got back to life".But...maybe...maybe it will get better? Then the monsters enter the stage, and if you like man-sized dinosaurs, this is your gig! But then they start playing Marilyn Manson and a SWAT team comes into the picture and it's in slow motion and pale weirdos appear too. I didn't want this!! I want to be happily scared a bit.People - we got to fight this kind of abuse of horror film lovers around the globe. Unite!PS. Do not watch this. It may cause serious trauma.

Alone in the Dark is one of the early films in Uwe Boll's career which went nationwide into theaters which has helped kill his career. This is considered one of his worst films and one of his worst reviewed films since it was one of his biggest. Based on a video game (having not played) I had no thoughts how decent an adaptation of the movie is to the game. With this movie, it is everything in which it has been criticized for. It is terrible, messy, confusing and hard to follow. Things do occur but it is confusing and a boring watch. The film takes itself too serious which hurts it. It isn't one of those typical cheesy "it's so bad it's good" films that are bad films but still entertaining and unintentionally funny. Alone in the Dark is just bad and it isn't funny. For a decent sized budget film (having a $20 million budget), Alone in the Dark feels cheap and the story is very weak. There could have been at least some thrills, suspense or jump scenes but it was very bland, uninteresting and even the creatures looked unsatisfying. This felt more like a cheap Sci- Fi low budget television series if anything. In the end, you may find yourself wondering what you have just watched and what the film was about.

The best parts of this film is 5 or so minutes in the fight across town and the end credit music.There.TL:DRReid is there for target audience eye candy and Dorff and Christian Whats-his-fa Slater! Dorff and Slater are both forgettable (Dorff being the more watchable of the two). The supporting cast is LOL. The writing is LOL, the whole damn thing is bare LOLz, fam.In fact, go ahead. Watch it. Rather then watch excellent hyped up movies. Go watch this one. It's practically 'How Not To Do A Movie LOL' 101. Knock knock. Who's there? LOL.

Alone in the Dark fails in every way possible way. The acting is terrible from the whole cast, Tara Reid is unbearable, Christian Slater is Christian Slater (post True Romance). You follow these awful characters though a stupid plot as it has one of the worst screenplays in film history (that is so inept of skill and devoid of life) this combined with the movies power to ruin careers before they start (just ask Uwe Boll). Boll showcases his status as one of the worst directors in the world as he directed one of the worst films ever made (At least he became consistent) and a film so bad that it can rot alone....in the dark
