Those Who Saw It in Theatres WERE Alone!

Nice to see that our beloved Head has finally seen the worst film of not only 2005, but the worst film since FREDDY GOT FINGERED. I will call schenanigans if this doesn't win Worst Picture, let alone be nominated. To paraphrase Ebert, this movie sucked, sucked, sucked, SUCKED!

You people are incredibly evil! How could you do such a thing? Have you no humanity...or even taste?

ALONE IN THE DARK makes PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE look like GONE WITH THE WIND.

HOW can you vote for ALONE IN THE DARK in the Worst Picture Poll when DIRTY LOVE is also listed?? Maybe it's just me, but vomit-covered-bare-breasts tops ANYTHING awful about ALONE...and DIRTY LOVE is running a distant third!!!

LOL. They are always one step ahead...

Beware of these movies:  If you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Well, the nominating ballots are gonna be sent out soon, (Next week, I believe), and here's hoping that this cinematic garbage dump gets more than it's share of nominations, and nabs Mr. Boll his first, in what will most likely be a long line of many, Worst Director Razzies.

Dear god, I saw it in the theater. And I'd *wanted* to see this movie--until I actually saw it. Moreover, I convinced 4 friends to come see it with me. It is a testiment to their friendship that they still hang around me, even though I've not been forgiven for "Alone in the Dark" (and, previously, "Space Truckers").

Rumor has it that Uwe Boll produces movies specifically to take a loss so they can be used as a tax writeoff.

Below is the review I wrote for Netflix:

I really wanted to like this movie. Its pedigree--story-wise--was ever so promising. Alone in the Dark was originally a video game that preceded Resident Evil and basically set the tone for the computer RPG survival-horror genre. The lead character in the movie and the game, Carnby, share the same name. Furthermore, the video game was based off of H. P. Lovecraft's 1920s pulp horror writings, which in turn spawned a wonderful horror-survival role playing game called Call of Cthulhu--probably the most popular game in that genre as well. In the movie, there is a Bureau 713, which is clearly a reference to Bureau 13, a series of pre-X-Files books (and one bad video game) about paranormal investigators working for the government. In theory, and with some decent writing, this movie could have drawn upon a very rich tradition and set itself up for a number of sequels. Needless to say, the movie fell flat on its face, got up, fell over a cliff, and fell on its face a second time--just to be sure. Horrible acting, mediocre FX, an 80s thrash metal soundtrack of some sort--what were they thinking? The worst sin of all is the plot/story, which is at best disjointed and at worst.... even less than disjointed. The film is also disjointed on a visual level because of very bad cuts and transitions between more-or-less pointless scenes. Extremely jarring film work--in a bad way. I really hoped for more out of this movie, but I hadn't gone in to it expecting anything above your average campy B-movie. Unfortunately, this one ended up being a REALLY bad b-grade movie with zero campiness. Take a step up and go watch Van Helsing for campy B action-horror. If you're looking for something in the Lovecraft/Alone in the Dark video game/Cthulhu genre, I'd recommend "In the Mouth of Madness" as one of the better B-grade Cthulhu movies out there. If you must watch it, wait for it on video. It ought to be coming our right.... about.... now.

you know who sucks as much this guy? Paul W S Anderson!!!

just remember that the next time you rent something.......    f**k 'em!
