Alone In The Dark (2005) 5/10

Starring : Christian Slater, Tara Reid, Stephen Dorff, Frank C Turner, Matthew Walker
Director : Uwe Boll
Running Time : 99 mins

Paranormal investigator Edward Carnby (Slater) discovers that all of the children at his orphanage have been infected with a symbiotic life form that is slowly taking over their nervous systems. As he looks further into the mystery he discovers a mysterious cult which wishes to open a portal between this world and another which is filled with evil demons who want to take over the world.

I was expecting this movie to be really bad, but instead it was just mediocre. Some of the acting was pretty abysmal, which is surprising when you have the likes of Christian Slater but not surprising when you have the likes of Tara Reid. The movie plods along quite slowly and overall there isn’t really enough substance explored to make this a worthy horror flick.
