Christian Slater and Stephen Dorff, the reigning princes of Hollywood schlock, join forces in this brain-dead adaptation of a popular video game.

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Rotten

A violent and incomprehensible piece of gibberish.

Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten

Maybe the only people who can explain this flick's nonsensical plotline are those who squandered their youth mastering the Atari video game on which it's based.

Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

The garish editing and stilted, exposition-only dialogue induce the frisson of an America's Most Wanted re-enactment that pays unexpected, sidesplitting returns.

Benjamin Strong, Village Voice
Rotten

When the giant, intelligent bees of the future sift through the ashes of our civilization, they will find Alone in the Dark, and they will understand. It's so bad it's postmodern.

Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly
