 New York Daily News - Entertainment Columnists - Jack Mathews: Alone in the Dark   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
I assure you that Uwe Boll's "Alone in the Dark," opening in theaters across the nation today, is no better than whatever you might pick up while wearing a blindfold at Blockbuster, even if you happen to reach into a trash can.
"Alone in the Dark" is adapted from a popular Atari video game series about Edward Carnby (Slater), a paranormal detective whose life - and the video game players' joysticks - involve violent confrontations with all manner of monsters, demons and hellions.
Like most action video games, "Alone in the Dark" owes much to "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Carnby is a distant knock-off of Indiana Jones, and Slater - whose career held so much more promise than this - plays him with great energy and a straight face.

 Movie Review - Alone in the Dark - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
The only role she's equipped to play is that of a drunken whore, which she does regularly in the tabloids and on "Inside Edition." Anything smarter or classier than that is a stretch for her.
The film, based on a video game (another bad sign) and directed by "House of the Dead" hack Uwe Boll (yet another bad sign), begins with confusing exposition spelled out in text that scrolls up the screen and that is also read by a narrator (in case we can't read, I guess).
Director Uwe Boll continues to believe that copying good movies is the same thing as BEING a good movie, and he fills "Alone in the Dark" with sloppy rip-offs from dozens of creature/horror/sci-fi/fantasy movies.
