Alone in the Dark (2005)

Critical reaction: Another videogame adaptation, this monster movie starred Christian Slater as a detective who specializes in supernatural activity and Tara Reid as an archaeologist (yes, you read that right). EW's Scott Brown gave the movie an F, claiming ''the film on your teeth after a three-day drunk possesses more cinematic value.''

Boll's defense: ''Okay, Alone in the Dark was not good, I agree. But what was Elektra? What was Daredevil? Critics go so over-the-top. If you compare Alone in the Dark with Aliens or Terminator, it sucks. But if you compare it to Resident Evil, it can keep up.''
