Just wanted to say it's not as bad as some of these reviews say it is. I think it's filmed to be atmospheric and deliberately confusing. The premise isn't perfect and the storytelling is all a bit non linear. It's all a bit un-Hollywood but overall it works, just. If you want a slick modern horror movie steer clear, but it gives some visual stimulation and makes you feel genuinely uncomfortable. I also like the fact that you have to work a bit. In conclusion, not perfect but with merit.

To be honest, I was hopeful about this film. Some good scares at the beginning. Then the plot was definitely lost!The final straw for me came when we were reliably informed that the little blonde girl had been a haemophiliac. Newsflash.....only BOYS can be haemophiliacs. Total rubbish!

True. It has flaws beyond bad or anything known as bad within this dimension within time and space we live in. But you know what? For a film as bad as Alone In The Dark (AITD movie has a 1% on Rotten Tomatoes), it probably comes nowhere as near or even close. True, this movie is very bad and literally has a mixture of too much plot with absolutely no plot at all, has literally either too many clichés or beyond too many for that matter, the acting,writing, and screenplay is sometimes very,very,very poor for a movie that made on a "very unquestionable budget of $40M-42M dollars", and yes, in itself, this is a horror movie, like The Fog remake, that has really questionable quality, and that this movie is a rip-off of Se7en, The Ring (both the original Japanese 1998 movie and it's American remake which came out the year this one came out), Kairo, Videodrome, and last but not least, the 1998 movie Strangeland. But do you want to know something? For a movie that seems to have 0% genius, this movie is as if it were made by someone who was just maybe, just maybe a genius, during the silent era, or at least the German Expressionist era. I guess this movie does seem to at least have some genius. 4.0 would probably be a better rating for this on this site.

What is wrong with reviewers? OMG, this is sad, and shows how people do not know crap for good movies. I bet every single review here that says how bad this movie is, says The Blair Witch Project is and was better. Well, you Blair Witch fans, you don't know jack about horror. I saw TBWP, and it has 5 minutes of black screen, and a girl saying stupid stuff about twigs making noises, and she sits in a tent crying with shot coming out of here nose, and everyone just getting lost in the woods swearing the F word.That movie is pathetic, not this one. TBWP trailer was just a pull you in to watch crap movie. I fell for it. I can't believe people rate that higher than this one. At least this had more interesting stuff going on, than some few people hanging out in the woods swearing and cussing, and acting like they are scared. TBWP did not make anything scary, except for me to not watch it again.The reviews here have going spoiled to rotten so bad, its tasteless, and vomiting.
