timothygartin Review of Alone in the Dark

Alone in the Dark (2005)

Enjoyable Monster Fun

[6/10 · 15 November 2019]

I like this movie. It has a lot of extraneous material to sort through and you can let yourself get bogged down in that. When I sit back and just watch, it is a standard "monster in the dark" movie with some fun twists and some passable acting. Slater and Reid do a good job with their characters. The monster is interesting and the effects are well done. I like the museum setting and I think it fits the creepy feel of the movie.

I don't believe this movie is terrible. Its not a Best Picture candidate, but it is a lot of fun to watch.
