I would guess Alone In The Dark goes straight to video ... or gameboy.

Let me say this right up front… Avoid this movie at all costs!! For a movie that has some quasi big names in it: Christian Slater, Tara Reid, Stephen Dorff, it sucked! It made no sense. I never played the video game this was based on, but I bet it was a lot better than this movie. The story was chaotic at best. I was hoping the CGI monsters would be kinda cool, but not really. There was a lot of shooting into the dark in this movie, basically for no reason. There was one scene where I guess the director thought it would look cool to have people shooting into the dark in slow/stop motion (think very cheesy/cheap Matrix knock-off effects that didn’t work out) that made me stop and say “WTF? is there a point to this??” I should have read for the 96 minutes I wasted on this movie. Actually I could have watched paint dry and had a better time.
