| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekTerrible beyond belief, like the worst 1940s serial ever made. As for Slater and Dorff...well, they've been in worse movies--wait a minute, no they haven't. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Andrew WrightAttains a level of awe-inspiring Velveeta dunderheadedness. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderFor as busy as this movie is, you'd think it would have more going on. Instead, it's just a big, chewy wad of badness. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferBoll's vague X-Files rip-off isn't scary or exciting, but inadvertently he's made a movie funnier than a lot of the purported comedies Hollywood cranks out. |
| PanoramaLouis-Jérôme CloutierAlone in the Dark pourrait figurer dans un dictionnaire en exemple frappant de ce que signifie insipide. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaEu devia ter suspeitado de algo quando meu aparelho de DVD pareceu se recusar a rodar este filme. E posso jurar que ele pediu um Cepacol depois que a tortura chegou ao fim. |
| Boston HeraldPaul ShermanUnconvincing leads, nonsensical plot, dumb staging -- this movie has it all. |
| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry Ratliff(Christian) Slater and (Tara) Reid share quite possibly the most awkward love scene ever recorded on film. |
| Now Playing MagazineBrent SimonThey say that even ugly babies have faces their mothers love, but this is truly a film that not even hardcore genre fans could appreciate. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxThe three stars have seen better days, but I'd like to think they could still do something classier and more dignified than this. Like gay porn. |
