Avis sur le produitAlone in the Dark (DVD, 2005)

Is this supposed to be a horror movie?

ALONE IN THE DARK is definitely not a horror movie. It is more like the X-Files. Christian Slater plays a paranormal investigator with vague memories of something traumatic, possibly paranormal, that happened in his own childhood. But instead of figuring out the government/medical conspiracy along with the hero, the audience is handed the solution in the first scene, with text on the screen. In the likely event that you can't read the small quick-moving text, there's also a narrator's voice-over. The only reason I can figure out for this weird decision to spoil what could have been a good mystery is that, if they hadn't, the movie would have been ten hours long. There's so much wasted story potential; Slater is one of TWENTY people subjected to experiments in childhood, but he's the only one we get to know. However, if everything were explained in the depth it deserves, this would be an entire SEASON of the X-Files, not one episode. Network execs, are you reading this? A television series based on ALONE IN THE DARK might just catch on. But dump Tara Reid. She's no Dana Scully.Lire l'avis complet...

ALL ALONE IN THE THEATRE

Uwe Boll's video game inspired horror thriller is rather uninspired and horrifically lacking in true thrills. Christian Slater plays an investigator of the para-normal who is mostly interested in figuring out his own para-normal childhood. Tara Reid [who is by far the most beautiful assistant museum curator of all time], tags along in Slater's quest to learn about an extinct North American tribe and the supernatural beast that may have wiped them all out. The special FX are pretty decent, but the camera work is wobbly and the dialogue is the scariest thing about the whole picture. The horror genre is booming and some of the slash and scare releases are original and enjoyable, but this isn't one of them. If the dialogue and the camera work was cleaned up and the plot was a little less convaluted and contrived, this would have potential to be a likable DVD. As is, it is only viewable once and then only if you're super bored.Lire l'avis complet...

worth watching-cant recommend this

kinda like a low budget dollar tree movie BUT the special effects were better than a dollar tree movie since it was a lions gate movie and the acting was okay . I collect movies and I wont watch this again it may not even be in my personal collection . Basically LIONSGATE let me down all the other LIONSGATE movies were much better .Lire l'avis complet...

This is so terrible...

I wish I could give this movie less than one star.. ugh. I am a HUGE fan of the game this was REALLY loosely based on, and let me tell you- it is a HORRIBLE movie. Not because it doesn't follow the game- simply because the acting, directing, and everything involved is absolutely horrible.

If you do want to watch this movie, please make sure to have a stick handy to bite on while watching the shooting scene that will probably give you an epileptic seizure, and to be prepared to shake your head a WHOLE LOT.

Uwe Boll is an awful director, and a mean person pretty much beyond that. Take a look on youtube.com for some of his 'Uwe Boll on petitions' videos- he is rude because he knows that he's terrible.

Anyhow, this movie is not something you'd ever want to see- unless you like uwe's work, in which this case, you won't be disappointed. Ick.Lire l'avis complet...

Alone in the Dark

Well what can i say, i have never played the games before but from what i've read this is nothing like them at all.
Going on th film itself it was alright!
Nice action, interesting storyline, ok acting, but to be totally honest this film was just a big cheese fest, i watched this on a rented dvd and 4 £3 it wasn't really too much to grumble about but to be honest it was un-original and very predictable.

My suggestion:
Don't buy rent!Lire l'avis complet...

UWE BOLL is out of chances with me!!!!!

After the terrible house of the dead(another video game i had never heard of), i reluctantly gave uwe boll another chance to impress me. While not as bad as house, my average rating is for the gratuitous gore, alone in the dark is not good. Tara reid cannot act(she does look good). the usually good christian slater has nothing to work with. I must be getting old because i miss good horror/monster movies like john carpenters the thing, Romeros' dead movies, and even prophecy by frankenheimer.Lire l'avis complet...
