Every Movie That Received An F CinemaScore Ranked From Worst To Best

19. Alone In The Dark (2005)

Director Uwe Boll has made a career out of (badly) adapting awesome video games, which reached its unbearable zenith with this loose - that's very loose - Christian Slater-starring screen version of the hit video game franchise.

Alone in the Dark begins with the most unbearably long title crawl imaginable and only gets worse from there. Tara Reid plays an archaeologist (ha!), the plot clings to only the scarcest semblance of logic, Boll's staging and framing of even basic dialogue scenes is upstaged by any student's first short film, and most offensively, it's really, really dull.

It musters a few chuckles for so-bad-it's-good devotees, but honestly, there are far "better" - or rather, more enjoyable - Boll movies to watch (namely his riotous House of the Dead adaptation).
