    If I was a film executive, I'd be paying Uwe Boll to make movies based on games. Why? Because people who have never heard of the game are now sure to NEVER play that game, and some people who have never gamed, or had mediocre gaming experiences , will be sure to avoid gaming entirely, forcing them to pursue other forms of entertainment, such as watching films(money for me), watching TV(money for me), and self impalement(no money for me D:).

    Lucky for you guys I'm not a film exec.

    Why does he keep thinking he can direct? And why did people keep giving him the right to the game?

    How on Earth did he drag Christian Slater into the leading role? How did he fool movie studio into financing his new projects when a)his movie received horrid review. b)is beyond doubt a commercial failure?

    You mean THE worst movie ever.

    Uwe Boll or h/e you spell his name is a ******* joke. He translates video games into film, thus, the end product being GARBAGE. House of the Dead sucked, this movie sucked, Bloodrayne will suck... see a pattern?

    -edit-

    Uwe already tried to aquire the rights to produce the MGS film, and Hideo Kojima said no. Metroid is being directed by John Woo if I remember right...

    Those will suck too, all video game movies suck, just accept it, it makes watching them a bit easier.

    I watched the original trailer, where they were "alone in the dark" with an entire SWAT team firing at what appeared to be 2 wooden crates. Truly hilarious

    From what I hear the game was a lot better than the movie.

    You need to stop saying this is anywhere near the worst movie ever. Go watch 'alien prey' or 'glen or glenda' and then come back.

    Now, because I don't want to try and summarize the deliciously wacky terribleness of either movie I'll just snitch a random review from the interweb.

    <!--QuoteBegin-plot summary from alien prey+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (plot summary from alien prey)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->These two lesbians are living together (Of course only one is attractive, the other looks like a man baby!) in the backwoods when a alien scout lands on Earth. Alien scout might be a little misleading, it's this skinny British guy who sometimes transforms into a skinny British guy wearing vampire teeth. Despite Jessica's gratiutous nudity the plot drags on and on... ...and that damn scene where Anders is drowning in slow motion! Of course there is a stirring sub plot involving Joe killing anyone showing romantic interest in her woman, which lays groundwork for Anders' and Jessica's sex scene. Unfortunately he gets a little too excited and rips her neck out, not unusual considering the fact that he eats every other character including the parrot! This is a painful film

    Things I learned from this film:

    *Feral alien things are balked by flimsy doors if they're locked.
    *Blindly chucking a log into the thicket will hit your target every time.
    *Aliens are completely obsessed with parrots.
    *Kicking dead chickens for being dead is rather unproductive.
    *Partys should be held for good reasons, killing a fox is not among them.
    *Grown men and women play hide-n-seek.
    *Spacefaring alien races have no idea what water is.
    <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Depending on your sense of humor alien prey is either one of the worst steaming dung piles you've ever seen or so bad that you just won't be able to stop laughing.

    Look, don't TALK about bad movies until you've seen "Manos, The Hands of Fate", "Prince of Space", "Invaders from Neptune", "Skydivers", and a few other of the old MST3Ks.

    If you mention a list of the worst MST movies and do not include Monster A Go-Go Gamera cries.

    But Uwe Boll's films can compete with anything J/M&TB ever watched.

    You know, I pay-per-viewed House of the Dead one late evening after returning home very drunk.

    I ended up watching it again later that weekend, because I thought it was the intoxication that made it so horrible and hard to follow. No such luck.

    Oh look, Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne <a href='http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/583/583841p1.html' target='_blank'>trailer</a> is doing the rounds.

    You have to hand it to him; he may be the worst modern film director, but he sure does work fast.

    Oh god he's doing Dungeon Siege as well? What kind of crack are the game publishers smoking that make them think giving their rights to this nutcase is a good idea? o.O

    The reason he's fast teq is BECAUSE his work is crud. Poop can be churned out a lot faster than quality -.-


    EDIT: sounds like he might end up getting 'Fear Effect' too... why? WHY??? @.@

    EDIT 2: he's even in talks over hitman ><

    The funny thing is he even admits in interviews that he can't go to showings because people would try to kill him!

    You know... I took a look at that Bloodrayne trailer.

    Despite knowing that it will once again turned out to be a pile of turd, the trailer could seriously have been good.

    "She Feasts... She lusts... She slays"

    Good lord, who wrote that. But lucky for him, Ben Kingsley and Rodriguez may, just may, elevate this film from a pile of turd to just a piece of ****.

    Dude why the hell didn't he stick with the first games Nazi's? They're the most overused baddies ever but dammit it would have made the film about 10 times cooler than the weird 18th century bollocks going on.

    "Achtung! Vampire!"

    That would kick ****.
