The "Alone in the Dark" games were among the first to showcase how well video games can handle horror. There’s probably a great film adaptation to be made, but not when you hand the reins to Uwe Boll.
As with Boll’s other video game adaptations, the low budget, laughable script here — along with the less-than-stellar cast — all resulted in a critical and commercial dud. "Alone in the Dark" fed into the theory that Boll was purposely making lousy, unsuccessful films in order to exploit tax loopholes.
