My expectations for Uwe (HOUSE OF THE DEAD) Bolls ALONE IN THE DARK could not have been lower, but Im happy to report that this latest video game-cum-movie is actually an entertaining rollercoaster ride, loaded with RELIC-style creature FX, rousing fight scenes and nonstop action. Christian Slater, Tara Reid and Stephen Dorff do the requisite monsterbusting shtick, and the film moves so fast that you never have a chance to figure out what they are fighting and why. Lions Gate releases ALONE IN THE DARK January 28; look for a set visit in Fango #240, on sale Jan. 18.
