Alone in the Dark Reviews

Uwe Boll's (bad) reputation as the worst director ever was growing each year so I was really getting curious about his work so I had to watch one of his movies. Oh, my god... I wasn't disappointed or maybe the opposite, I was very disappointed, depends how you put it... Anyway, Uwe Boll really deserves the title of "Worst movie director alive".... As a matter of fact, I must admit that the first half was actually almost watchable. I mean, it was still pretty average but there was some B qualities to it, seriously. However, something went really wrong and the second half was probably the worst thing I have ever seen. I mean, the whole thing didn't make any sense anymore, it was ugly as hell and completely boring. I mean, I have seen my share of piece of sh*t movies but it was really something. The weird thing is that seven years later, Uwe Boll is still making movies (usually up to two every year...) and I wonder if those are making any money. There is some kind of morbid attraction to those movies ('Let's check out his next piece of trash!') but I'm proud to say I only saw two of his. To conclude, it is definitely one of the worst movies ever made and it is absolutely not worth a look whatsoever.

Like many who saw the movie, I was a huge fan of the game with the same name. The games (especially the first) had an involving atmosphere capable of making you actually be afraid when playing late at night with lights off.

Then, it came the movie. A weak attempt at making a movie spinning off the story presented in the fourth installment, there's no single element in the movie capable of involving the audience.

The acting is poor, the story is presented without coherence and even the "special effects" are bad.

There are movies that are so bad, you can at least laugh at them. This is not the case. This movies is even worse than that and it is actually a torture to watch it down to the end.

Two thumbs down.
