15 Horror Movies Since 2000 So Awful They'e Genuinely Horrifying
4. Alone In The Dark
The Plot:
There isn't one. There are a few demons trying to enter earth and that's it.
Why It Sucks:
This is a film by the infamous Uwe Boll, who is widely regarded as the world's worst filmmaker. Boll has hit back at his critics and once argued he's the only true genius in the movie-making business. Do you know what? He's absolutely right. He is a genius.
Nobody, not even a drunken gang of students, could make something as bad as Alone in the Dark unintentionally. Uwe Boll was clearly aiming for a terrible movie and he succeeded with a vengeance. Every line is wrong, every plot-point is underdeveloped, every character is flat, every shot is badly done... every single tiny thing about Alone in the Dark is incompetent. No-one could unintentionally make something so awful so yes, Boll is a genius at making terrible films intentionally.
At least, that's what one tells oneself in false reassurance. If a movie this bad could actually be given a good cast, budget and be theatrically released at all, it's enough to make one lose faith in cinema for life. This is a film so awful it's genuinely a bit worrying.
