Alone in the Dark (2005) is a supernatural action-horror film directed by Uwe Boll, based on the popular video game series of the same name. The film stars Christian Slater, Tara Reid, and Stephen Dorff, and revolves around a paranormal investigator facing a deadly, otherworldly threat.

The story follows Edward Carnby (Christian Slater), a former government agent turned paranormal investigator, who specializes in uncovering supernatural mysteries. Edward is drawn into a dangerous mission when he begins investigating a series of strange occurrences linked to an ancient civilization and a powerful artifact. He soon discovers that these events are connected to a shadowy government agency called Bureau 713, which is involved in studying and containing otherworldly creatures.

As Edward teams up with Aline Cedrac (Tara Reid), an archaeologist and former colleague, and Commander Richard Burke (Stephen Dorff), a leader within Bureau 713, they uncover a hidden conspiracy involving demonic creatures known as Xenos and their plan to invade the human world. The trio must fight for survival against these monsters while uncovering the truth behind Edward’s own dark past, which is intricately tied to the threat they are facing.

Alone in the Dark blends elements of action, horror, and science fiction, featuring intense shootouts, chase sequences, and encounters with supernatural creatures. While the film received criticism for its storytelling and special effects, it offers a fast-paced, action-driven narrative with a dark and mysterious atmosphere, drawing on the themes of ancient curses, shadowy organizations, and otherworldly invasions. Fans of the game series may appreciate its effort to bring the haunted world of Alone in the Dark to life.
