HAHAHAHA, somebody posted on dvdanswers that fangoria magazine actually gave the movie a 1 out of 5, yet, whoever did the cover art still used a quote from the article.

Just watched the trailer on the film's website and It looks an awful lot like a re-do of "The Relic". That and the note that the director's previous work was "House of the dead" smells like stinker to me. Mind you, I did find the Relic fairly enjoyable but, not enjoyable enough to watch it with Tara Reid & Christian Slater.

They should show this movie to people on death row...it'll make them look forward to it!
Nice cover art though...I thought for sure it would be a victim of the floating head syndrome.

According to the reviewers, it's significantly worse than Gigli. It appears to have set new records in terribleness. I can't wait to *flix it.
"Saying Uwe Boll’s Alone in the Dark is better than his 2003 American debut House of the Dead is akin to praising syphilis for not being HIV."

Oh, snap!

After reading the Uwe Boll interviews that were posted on the internet in the months leading up to the release of AitD, I can only imagine what the commentary is going to be like.
