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 intro going off in a weird direction.This nun is not very devout. Trying to convince her with "survival of our species" seems a poor mov(i)e.Good interaction with plane boy. I was happy with him ignoring him, but it got better.Since when do you have to get the cab driver's attention when exiting the airport? I think we skipped up to modern day without them telling us.For once a nosy punk is a good thing. Nice chase music.Horribly obvious green screen.Fresh fish.So they don't complete the puzzle... Duh! Intrusive security fell asleep fast.Now it's Miss and Mr.? There's a completely needless line... "The hair on the back of my neck..." Running while holding hands is highly efficient.Needless smashing through displays, even for a creature.Standard stupid procedure... split into singles.There seems to be no reason they came through the ceiling.This is horrible love music.This is no Sharknado.We get it. Everyone is busy.POLO! That guy in the front had an immediate jam :) How are they not hitting these creatures directly in front of 30 guns!?

Based on a popular yet aged video game I was surprised to see this was even a thing seeing as I had never heard much about the old or later games.I was actually a huge fan of the latest Alone In The Dark game (2008) and I like Christian Slater as an actor so I was expecting to have an enjoyable lazy watch. However this was not the case with the very simple and bland script, visual effects that seemed very aged and the overall disappointing film.I could have afforded to go on a tangent or two with the characters and story and defiantly needed to be slowed down. It's defiantly not a film worth checking out.

Well, what can you say about a movie whose "soldiers" are equipped with paintball protections, even the weapons look like they are taken from paintball. This movie is a Mimic and Aliens rip-off, among others. Even the sex scene is really crappy . It amazes me how this Uwe Boll guy is still allowed to make movies, or even that he gets the money to make them. I mean, at one point, one of the dead "soldiers" starts moving before they change the scene. At least that made me laugh. This is the third movie made by Uwe Boll that I watch, the others two being "In the name of the king" and "1968:Tunnel Rats". They were both way worse, I didn't even get to laugh with those. I think that this Uwe Boll guy should make a last movie in which a character is send from the future to kill his mother before his birth, achieving such task, and then not make any more movies.
