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

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.

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

I laughed at that one.
No, I'm not punishing myself: I really love terrible movies.

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.
