Alone In the Dark Movie

On Friday I saw the movie “Alone In The Dark”, which starred: Christian Slater, Stephen Dorff, Tara Reid, Elan Mastai, Michael Roesch and Peter Scheerer.

The storyline involved the following: “An otherworldly investigator learns of a secret which could mean the end of civilization as we know it in this thriller based on the popular video game Alone in the Dark. Edward Carnby (Christian Slater) is a detective with Bureau 713, a secret investigative team affiliated with the United States government that explores supernatural and paranormal events. One of Carnby's assignments leads him to discover the secrets of the Abskani, an ancient tribe that worshiped demonic forces which gave them incredible powers. Carnby's findings suggest that the Abskani are poised to return to take over the world, and only one person has the knowledge to stop them -- archeologist Aline Cedrac (Tara Reid), who happens to be Carnby's former girlfriend. But Carnby's psyche has been tainted by his encounter with the Abskani demons, and he must now fight against their attempts to take over his mind as well as their attempts to conquer the Earth. Alone in the Dark also stars Stephen Dorff, Will Sanderson, and Franççoise Yip. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide.”

I would rate the movie a “B”, and it is the worth of an admission ticket, a medium popcorn and a medium soft drink. The movie was a good action-horror film, but Tara Reid could not save it from the critics. It was more of ab action film than a horror movie.
