The reason he still gets funding is because he actually funds himself.  Many theories have been thrown about as to were he gets his income; I'm believe in the Nazi gold idea myself.

Quoted from AmericanSyCo I'm believe in the Nazi gold idea myself.

That was the funniest thing I've heard all day, thank you for that.

This movie wasn't too bad, but the way Uwe keeps bragging and whining makes me want to just ignore the guy and completely forget exists.

As for bashing the IMDB, he just has issues with his audience (if there is one).

I think it depends on how you pronounce his name.  I've heard about 15 different pronounciations.  This has actually intrigued me so I'm off to find a video or audio of someone saying his name.  Only Uwe Boll would use terrible grammar in his opening titles though.

I've heard it pronounced on a podcast Ewww A Boll put that together and you get Uwe Boll or U-A Boll something like that.

Either way if you take anybody's name you cannot make it work with an. An Wesley picture just sounds wrong.

Look at the back of the movies on your shelf, it's always A not AN and if nothing else it just sums up his career... A big mistake.

Kevin Smith's Dogma has a spelling error in mid to late film when they are outside the church which he points out proudly on the DVD but still.

I should stop watching movies so closely, I accidently see the bad things they would hope you don't see. Like the blur in King Kong to blend him with the scenes.

I rented and watched this movie, and I do not lie when I say that as I watched the movie, I threw up.  Not from any of the gay gore effects or anything... I just got sick and hurled for no reason what so ever!  I guess the movie sucks so bad it made me sick.  I hate Uwe Boll, I hope a comet hits his house and he killed by all the copies of all the bad movies he has made.  Or maybe a random fake zombie can have a sword fight with him, and Uwe loses and gets his face eatten off, but that would make the zombie sick and it would die, saving the world from a zombie invasion!

Quoted from Old Time Wesley I noticed during the opening titles it says "An Uwe Boll Film" when in actual fact if I'm not mistaken it should be "A Uwe Boll Film" this made me laugh so hard that nobody told him about it.

Well, his name starts with a vowel so it's technically correct.

How about "An Alfred Hitchcock film"? Are you saying it should be "A Alfred..."

And btw, Uwe is pronounced "oo-veh"

Beat me to it.  It was how the name is pronounced that threw me off, otherwise it does stay  an, such as An M. Night Shymalalaman film or An Oliver Stone film.

Either way, it doesn't make Alone in the Dark any better.  

But for the way it is just looks wrong and yes the movie is really bad because I tried hard to watch it but the film just isn't any good. It's barely even a movie.

Did he actually pay the "actors" to be in this film?

I read on IMDB that he blames Tara Reid (In some magazine) for the film being so bad but she wasn't the character who made it terrible for me anyway it was that goof who is the male lead.

I'd say she should just show her breasts in more films but they look sickly and who wants to see "When plastic Surgery goes Wrong" she's like 30 and her career, acting wise is dead.

This film was boring. I almost fell asleep during the middle of it, and I don't know how it was supposed to be scary.

But the good thing is that I paid little money to watch it, so I guess it's all good.

I really enjoyed all your reviews and You've settled it for me, I will never see this movie!. I knew from the trailer that it was going to be a bust. Sigh......Why did they make such a flop? Why God! Why?!

Edward Carnby, detective of the paranormal, unexplained and supernatural, investigates a mystery (the recent death of a friend) with clues leading to "Shadow Island" that brings him face to face with bizarre horrors that prove both psychologically disturbing and lethal, as he discovers that evil demons worshiped by an ancient culture called the Abskani are planning on coming back to life in the 21st century to once again take over the world... and only he and a young genius anthropologist with an incredible memory (and his ex-girlfriend), Aline Cedrac, stand in their way, at a gateway to hell. Standing in Carnby's way, however, is the impact that a brief encounter with an evil spirit called the Queen had upon his mind, as he slowly finds himself overpowered by the forces of darkness as they eat away at his very sanity...

Uwe Boll became known to the world with the video game horror based film House of the Dead. After the horrible reviews and box office, someone somewhere decided to let Uwe Boll destroy another video game franchise, this time it's another horror video game, Alone in the Dark. Which frankly is how you should watch the movie, if you have to that is.

Alone in the Dark goes wrong in so many directions, the first would have to be the screenplay, which has too many plot holes and confusing storyline that no one can tell what is going on. Throw into the mix a director that has no clue what he is doing except throwing an explosion here and a shootout there. Boll did one thing right, make the movie about soldiers shooting creatures, instead of your everyday party goers, such as seen in House.

Alone in the Dark suffers from a lot of different things, but even if you didn't know who Uwe Boll is or how bad the script actually is, you must be able to notices the horrible casting job. Who in their right mind would think of Tara Reid for a genius anthropologist? Her lines range from horribly delivered, to "hey look over here" or "hey check this out". Slater plays an Indiana Jones type character, who lacks the charm, wit, courage, intelligence...basically everything that makes Indiana Jones.

Stephen Dorff isn't that bad of an actor, he just has the unfortunate curse of choosing bad movie roles. Either he needs a new agent, or needs to get better material thrown his way. Frankly military leader hunting the beast who has conflict with the lead character doesn't do him justice.

A lot of the scenes are laughable when Boll tries to make them hip for the new generation. Such as the characters being in total darkness, then shooting the bullets that have lights on them which light up the characters and the screen. Boll should take some directing lessons and not try to make something look appealing.

It's obvious that Boll doesn't care about the story, or just doesn't understand it, the characters, the music, basically everything that makes a movie with the exception of special effects. Boll tries to make the film cool with it's "slo-mo" and of course the shot where the monster jumps at the screen.

Apparently someone out there thinks Boll is doing something right because he has numerous video game titles on the way, next up is Bloodrayne. I can only hope that when FarCry hits the theatres he will learn from his mistakes and make at least a decent film for once in his life.

I've read a few drafts of the script. Don't hold your breath
