Alone in the Dark

from Film Forum, 02/03/05

You could read about director Uwe Boll's new sci-fi action film starring Christian Slater and Tara Reid—Alone in the Dark—or you could just pretend the movie doesn't exist. The critics who have seen it wish they had ignored it.

David DiCerto (Catholic News Service) calls it "an insufferably inane sci-fi action film which could possibly be one of the worst movies in recent memory. And don't just take my word for it. During an advance screening, the movie was met with bursts of unintended laughter and when a faulty projector twice interrupted the viewing the audience actually applauded."

Christopher Lyon (Plugged In) says, "Slater and cast appear uncomfortable and perplexed while uttering ridiculous lines and running to and fro in the dark."
