Lastly, we have the absolute worst of the worst from Uwe Boll. I'm talking about a 1% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which I feel you have to really work toward to achieve. The Alone in the Dark video game franchise was known for its survival horror gameplay, which had made it pretty successful. Of course, Uwe Boll saw nothing to be gained from this, as he strayed away from the source material and decided to make a horrendous action flick with the only comparison to the game being the title itself. The plot made no sense, the acting made no sense, and the overall mood and tone of the movie made no sense at all. Here's a monster that has the power to be invisible to kill its prey yet chooses to be seen every time it goes to attack somebody. There are also countless times where the action sequences are just repeating shots of the same thing with new action scenes thrown in to try to kill the repetitiveness of what you just saw, which doesn't work. It's fortunate that Stephen Dorff was able to redeem himself with True Detective and Christian Slater with Mr. Robot, because these movies are the types to kill a career sometimes. Thankfully they have come a long way from this piece of work, and if you're lucky you never have to endure watching this movie ever. Unless you want to test your fortitude, then, by all means, go ahead.
