Review of Alone in the Dark (2005) by Kai82 — 25 Jun 2020
A videogame adaptation from Uwe Boll. Uwe Boll is a legendary director. He is famous for making some of the worst movies in recent history, using a German tax shelter to fiance his movies (German stupid money was the applied term) and challenging his critiques to a boxing match including inviting Quentin Taratino and Roger Avary.
It was called “Put up or shut up”. He took 5 challengers and defeated them all by beating them all up. One was even an amateur boxer with some skills / experience (Uwe Boll also is an amateur boxer and has lot of years of training on his resume).
This was the stuff of legends and you will find it on YouTube (Uwe Boll boxing). Back to the movie. The movie is loosely based on the really good “Alone in the Dark The new Nightmare” videogame. You get what you expect.
His movies have no good stories, acting or coherence. The only decision for you is if it is just really bad or so bad that it is entertaining. For me I enjoyed this movie while I must admit that it is a guilty pleasure.
I should have not rated this above a 3 and even that is maybe to good. Overall a silly and enjoyable movie. I must say that I respected Uwe Boll and say you should learn from him because he had success.
Machiavelli said something like “Learn from the sucessful people no matter if you like or dislike them because they know the game”.
