Alone In The Dark (DVD) Reviews

Alone in the dark is a 2005 horror/ comedy that is very loosely based on the game of the same name. The film had a $20 million budget but only managed to gross just over $8 million at the box office, luckily it did a lot better on DVD. Alone in the dark is rated 18 because of the strong violence and gore and is 94 minutes ...  Read the complete review

Shlock maestro has made some terrible films in the past, such as House of the Dead, Bloodrayne, and Far Cry. Alone in the Dark, however, is something else - an unfunny, self-serious film (adapted from the popular video game series) that doesn't even have the cheesy fun that particularly House of the Dead did - this is a murky, terribly directed ...  Read the complete review

Most of the people who have reviewed 'Alone In The Dark' have done some sort of play on words to make good use of a literary and relevant way of explaining just how bad this film is. To be honest, the film is that bad, I really can't be bothered to waste my time finding a play on words. Oh, hang on: how about: 'Watch this alone in the dark so no ...  Read the complete review

72. Alone in the Dark (2005) [film only] Or more accurately, small groups of people in dimly lit locations, shooting wildly at CGI and random extras with whited out faces. If I were to choose one word to sum up this film it would be 'why'. In fact, why oh why oh why? Really. What makes anyone think that taking a generic computer ...  Read the complete review

Another Uwe Boll video game adaptation, Alone In The Dark - or, The Relic, as it would no doubt be known if The Relic hadn't had the audacity to show up first - is, much like any Boll picture you care to mention, an hour and a half tug of war between vast stretches of almost unbearable tedium and short bursts of truly insane, inconsistent, ...  Read the complete review

Christian Slater must have been strapped for cash to get involved in this pile of rubbish or really desperate for the work. Or he's got a bleeding awful agent. I've played Alone In The Dark (a long time ago on the original Playstation, I can't claim to remember much of it) but the bits I do remember aren't anything like the plot, story or setting ...  Read the complete review

For movie fans, Uwe Boll is a modern Ed Wood, only without the charm. His name is legendary amongst movie buffs for being the worse filmmaker on the planet right now, and some of his films must qualify as serious contenders for the worst film of all time. Knowing his reputation, I wanted to rent one of his movies so I could see exactly how ...  Read the complete review

Movie: As an owner of the game of the same name, I was looking forward to the movie. I was hoping that they would capture some of the darkness and creepiness of the game, I was certain that it would entertain, which ultimately is what we all want from a movie. So did it make me want to have all the lights on so I wouldn't be ...  Read the complete review

"WARNING CONTAINS STRONG VIOLENCE" What that actually means is " WARNING WILL BORE YOU SENSELESS". I am very much a chick-flick girl, and I do like the odd action film, but this is not my sort of film at all. My boyfriend talked me into renting it out as we had planned a night in. It looked like the sort of ...  Read the complete review

Before he won a well-deserved Oscar for his masterful work in 1994's ED WOOD, Martin Landau appeared in more than his share of turkeys, and ALONE IN THE DARK, a 1982 suspense flick, was one of them. Looking back, it's hard to imagine that an actor of his talent could possibly regress to a level as low as this, in a genre that's usually ...  Read the complete review
