DSM, Bush, blah, bla...So, DUers: How bad is the "Alone in the Dark" film?

[iconoclastic cat]

You know, that Tara Reid/Christian Slater crapfest based on the video game. I read it was awful, but I rented it anyway. So, really, how bad is it?

[prole_for_peace]

1. its not good.

i have seen worse but still i was very disappointed by alone.

[Kraklen]

2. Haven't seen it.

The reviews I read had it ranked up there with some of the worst films ever made. I don't think they were exaggerating.

Apparently it contains clips from the video game in the actual movie.

4. no, that is House of the Dead

by the same director---one of the worst films ever made

[Kraklen]

5. Oh, got those confused.

No idea how that happened.

:eyes:

[Zuni]

6. Uwe Boll would be very hurt by this thread

but maybe he wouldn't make any more films :bounce:

[Zuni]

3. I saw it

pretty bad. :thumbsdown:

Not as bad as "House of the Dead", by the same director, based on a Sega game. THAT was REALLY,REALLY BAD

11. Heya, Zuni! So it gets your stamp of disapproval? Awesome.

I'm going to dig it, then.
:hi:

[Zuni]

14. I love bad cinema

and this was no let down. Uwe Boll has to be the worst director alive.

7. When I saw the title, my first thought was "based on the game".

:eyes:

Ugh.

I won't spend a penny on it. Unless it's British slang in which case Id spend a penny on it all day! :wow:

8. Are you punishing yourself for some reason? n/t

[iconoclastic cat]

10. HA!

I laughed at that one.

No, I'm not punishing myself: I really love terrible movies.

12. It must be a similar phenomenon to my watching WWE wrestiling. n/t

[iconoclastic cat]

15. Except that there's no hermaphroditic aggression.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

17. How do you know? You haven't seen this latest movie yet. Have you? n/t

[iconoclastic cat]

19. True!

Bring on the shemales!

[Zuni]

16. I do too

I watched Spice girls and Glitter back to back once. :crazy:

[iconoclastic cat]

18. Really bad horror is my thing.

I loved watching John Carpenter trash his legacy in that horrible flick, "In the Mouth of Madness." Virtually anything that is based on H.P. Lovecraft is a sure bet--which is sad, since he was such a fantastic and weird writer.
