Lions Gate Home Entertainment has announced the Uwe Boll directed Alone In The Dark which stars Christian Slater, Tara Reid and Stephen Dorff. The film, which is based on the fourth videogame in the best-selling Atari series, will be available to own from the 10th May this year. The retail price will be set at around $27.98. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen along with both DTS 6.1 ES and Dolby Digital 5.1 EX tracks. Extras will include an audio commentary with director Uwe Boll, an Into the Dark: The Making of Alone in the Dark featurette, a featurette on the visual effects of the film entitled Shedding A Light, a trivia track, music videos and storyboard to film comparisons.

Audio commentary eh? I might have to make it a Blockbuster night then. I hope it's as good as the commentary on The Postman ;)

cant wait!

Uwe Boll is a genius.

I just preordered this at DVDEmpire! :)

rotfl Die if you buy this.

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.

Definitely going to rent this (if only to see how bad it truly is).

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.

rotfl It's probally the best review the film got.

Was this movie that bad? Really? Gigli bad?

I'll rent it.....6.1 ES :)

Is that your barometer for badness? See more movies.

I'm upset. I would actually buy this rubish if they included a free copy of the first PC game. My 3D0 version got stolen a few years ago.

I'll rent it and watch it and then pee on it.

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.

I've never watched Gigli, but AITD is my first ZERO film of the year. It's awful. Check sig.;)

One of the greatest games ever made. In 1992, when Alone in the Dark was released, it was revolutionary in many ways. One of which was its "cinematic" approach of viewing the protagonist through dynamic camera angles. Too bad the first great "movie-type" game inspired such a steaming turd of a movie 12+ years later.

I honestly agree, but have to add that a movie could have been a lot better in the hands of people who cared. I played the first game for an entire summer and never got sick of it. Great game which inspired the horror game genre!

Great. Uwe Boll just ******'d me to add insult to injury.

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."
-- Nicholas Schager, SLANT MAGAZINE

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. :lol:

haha i really wanna buy this actually, i think it'll be a hilarious film to watch with buddies.

rotfl -ohbfrank-

how do you pronounce Uwe Boll's name? I just assumed it was "You Bowl", but that would make "an Uwe Boll film" (as the cover art states) a little awkward to say. is it "Ooh Bowl", then?

I followed the link above over to rottentomatoes and saw there was one positive review, so I looked up the reviewer and saw the following grades and quotes:

Fresh:

Alone in the Dark
Catwoman
Alien Vs. Predator
Van Helsing
Matrix Revolutions

Rotten:

LOTR: ROTK
Quote - "Is a seriously flawed piece of work that is missing that certain element called "believability." :lol:

Kill Bill Vol. 2
Quote - "Kill Bill: Volume 2" commits the ultimate crime of being boring. What could have been one of the best action films of all time turns into a mediocre, frustrating film."

Master & Commander
Quote - "Master and Commander" is stylishly made, well acted, but it commits the ultimate sin of being "blah." There's a whole lot of "Swash" but very little "Buckling."

rotfl Gimmick.

If everyone online who hates Uwe Boll buys this DVD just to make fun of it, the studios may greenlight a sequel.

^ or support other movies he will do, either way GOOD.

I agree. The good Dr. Boll has provided me with so many laughs, that I hope he never stops making films.

If Dr. Boll makes you laugh then read this and prepare to wet yourself :D

That was an extremely amusing and entertaining read. Thank you!

Yes very good read. Oh man I just anticipate Dr. Boll's next films even more now.

Ooo-weh Boll.

Why would anyone want to add this to their collection? In case they get so drunk anything will entertain them?

Go to a Best Buyish store on Tuesday afternoons, around lunch.

There are a ton of suits who blind buy every new release on the shelf. It's remarkable to watch. That's why ALONE will sell well.

Yep, that's why I get my blind buys online. Anonymous and cheaper to boot!
