10 Movie Flops You've Probably Forgotten

Bloodrayne is another of Uwe Boll’s video game adaptations, and you have to marvel at how the director of House Of The Dead and Alone In The Dark was able to raise a $25 million dollar budget and attract an all-slumming cast that includes Michelle Rodriguez, Ben Kingsley and Michael Madsen. When the film made barely $4 million worldwide, Boll somehow raised $70 million to make In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale.

If the investors had watched Bloodrayne, they would’ve been disheartened by a soulless mess slung together from a first draft screenplay where none of the actors appear to be having a good time. According to Madsen, his first day on set called for a riding scene but the “crazy Romanian horses” instead ran into a tree and threw him into a water tank.

That was just the beginning: Madsen also got sick from the bad food, lost 12 pounds and on one occasion had to dive into a river in the middle of the Romanian jungle after being attacked by bees. To top it all, he didn’t even care for the finished film.

“Bloodrayne was an abomination,” he says. “It’s a horrifying and preposterous movie.”
