10 Most Pointless Films Since 2000
3. Alone In The Dark II
When is a movie starring Lance Henriksen, Danny Trejo, Bill Moseley and PJ Soles totally unwatchable? When it’s a DVD sequel to an Uwe Boll film.
Eschewing the scale of its predecessor, Part 2 takes place mostly inside a rustic cabin where Edward Carnby (Rick Yune, standing in for Christian Slater) is being haunted by a witch that wants to suck out his soul. Which, come to think of it, makes her no better than directors Michael Roesch and Paul Scheerer.
Anyway, Henriksen plays the go-to ghostbuster, but he’s in so little of the finished film that he must’ve refused to participate in the boring chase scenes and the not-very-special effects sequences. In fact, if you edited the picture down to his scenes, you’d still have a coherent narrative, plus you’d save others the trauma of sitting through the entire thing.
