doric-longhair Okay so I tried to watch both films back to back, thinking I'd enjoy them given I've liked so far of what I have played of the first game. Now I disagree with most people on that I did enjoy the first film a lot, though it had cheesy moments like that scene with Seven Seconds Away playing over what was happening, so not the song to be playing during one of those moments let me tell you, overall I really enjoyed the first one.So, I was really excited about seeing the second one, and I have to say, what a heap of ****. I won't bother typing out my own review, all I will tell you is read the review by grandmastersik because mine is exactly like his, minus spending 15 minutes trying to use the force to get the remote, I just couldn't remember where I'd put mine down to be able to turn it off.

superainbow So..there's a witch..something to do with a knife, and an old man sacrificing his family for some kind of immortality. I just made the plot sound 100 times better than the film does.Terrible, terrible CGI (everyone hates it, why is it even added to films) and the other "special" effects...glued on veins, I'll say no more.Even if you are looking for a laugh, don't watch this film, you will be too busy trying to work out why on earth this was made to be able to poke fun.I didn't see the first film, but Im not seeing that as a bad thing.

Melanie82-1 I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY MADE A 2nd FILM until I seen it on the supermarket shelf... Plotwise it actually has one. And one that is reasonably well fleshed out. Characters are given good reasons for their actions and are developed quite well, given the constraints of the budget. The effects, though looking a little poor in some scenes, never dominate the movie anyhow and are there purely to further the story. Acting-wise, there are a few less than stellar performances and when you can say, with complete certainty that Lance Henriksen gives the most convincing performance of the cast. The fact is, I never expect much with sequels so I was pleasantly surprised by this one. While it is not the best movie I've ever seen, it is no slouch and far better than the last horror movie I saw, Boogeyman. No comparison whatsoever.

Wilson102 Yes I'm one of the few people who thoroughly enjoyed the first Alone in the Dark. So I was extremely excited to find out the is a second one.There are some interesting characters in the film. Lance Henriksen plays most compelling and best performed character in the picture and Bill Moseley gives a very good performance. Unfortunately is the lead (Rick Yune as Edward Carnby) a disappointment. The story is not too bad. If you are willing to overlook some flaws you might find to like it.Alone in the Dark 2 is strange, as it's not your typical B or Z horror movie. Unlike Alone in the Dark 1, this movie has a strong potential in its deep roots, directly inherited from the game. PLUS it adds stuff from H. P. Lovecraft, which is always a good thing.From the get go, the movie goes look like a low-budget film, but compared to some of the crap I've seen, it's a good one. And for a low-budget DVD sequel, it's pretty good with a really great cast.
