Alone in the Dark (2005)

 'Alone in the Dark' is bad, but I'd be dishonest if I didn't cop to the fact that I really enjoyed watching it. This Uwe Boll directed mess is all over the place, the plot concerns a vanished race of ancient Native American's, a portal to another dimension, shadow monsters, experiments on orphans, and a supposedly secret though well maned and hardly subtle organization called Bureau 731, which is like a cross between The X-Files and CTU. Oh and it's got Tara Reid in it. You can get what Boll is reaching for here, but it's simply beyond his abilities and budget, and watching him grasp is surprisingly entertaining. It's hard to rate this one but I'm gonna go with **.
