10 More Films Hollywood Needs To Apologize For
2. Alone In The Dark
The Abkani, a race believed to have developed the ability to move between worlds, inexplicably vanished from the Earth ten thousand years ago. Then in 1969, one Professor Hudgens attempted to breed Abkani creatures with twenty orphans before being shut down by Bureau 713, a government paranormal investigation division.
Fast forward to the present and one of those orphans, Edward Carnby (Christian Slater), a former employee of Bureau 713, is attacked by a seemingly unkillable assailant after coming into possession of an Abkani artefact. The thug is of course under orders from Hudgens, who is preparing to unleash Xenos, Abkani creatures that can only exist in darkness.
Got that?
It doesn’t matter, because this dumpster fire was Uwe Boll’s follow-up to House Of The Dead and while it’s a slicker production, it’s arguably even more jaw droppingly, toe curlingly terrible. Throw in Stephen Dorff doing his best Kiefer Sutherland impression, add a badly miscast Tara Reid and sprinkle with rubbish digital effects and you’ve got a movie that must be seen to be disbelieved.
