Plot Summary
Edward Carnby (Christian Slater) is a private investigator specializing in unexplainable supernatural phenomena. His cases delve into the dark corners of the world, searching for truth in the occult remnants of ancient civilizations. Now, the greatest mystery of his past is about to become the most dangerous case he has ever faced. With the help of his ex-girlfriend, archaeologist Aline Cedrac (Tara Reid), and his bitter rival, government agent Richard Burke (Stephen Dorff), Edward is about to learn that just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it cannot kill you!

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: When the giant, intelligent bees of the future sift through the ashes of our civilization, they will find Alone in the Dark, and they will understand. It's so bad it's postmodern.
Rotten: The garish editing and stilted, exposition-only dialogue induce the frisson of an America's Most Wanted re-enactment that pays unexpected, sidesplitting returns.
Rotten: A film so mind-blowingly horrible that it teeters on the edge of cinematic immortality.
Rotten: Alone in the Dark presents splatter fans with garden-variety gore, and gives action-horror fans loud, unscary special effects rather than genuine suspense or bang.
Customer Reviews
Worst movie ever
I have never written a review before, but feel compelled to now for the good of my fellow man. Don't spend a dime on this steaming pile. There is zero value here and I'm convinced the actors owed somebody a favor, or were flat out forced into it by the mob, scientologists or maybe aliens. Whatever the reason, I'm sure it would be a more compelling story what was actually created. Stop. Hit the back button, and pick another movie. Please, I'd rather you hate me now then hate yourself after trying to watch it.
Don't bother
Admittedly, having never played the video game, I don't really have any material to compare the film with. Hopefull, the game was better than this. This movie is just.... well.... awful. Not even B Series material. The first half was... "not great" and then it all just went downhill from there. I really don't know what the budget was, but it obviously wasn't much, and it shows. Only pros for "Alone in the Dark" are: 1) deecent creature design and 2) a perfect example of what a movie should NOT be. Advice? RENT it if you really want to spend the money, watch it (if you can stand it) and then drink yourself into a stupor and hope you drink enough to forget you ever saw it.
Pretty Bad!!!
this movie was bad, but it's definitely not the worst. that distinction goes to Bloodrayne 2. yes you read correctly, there's a Bloodrayne 2. don't believe me, look it up.
