More like My Big Mistake

Advantages: Film to waste time, for the faint hearted
Disadvantages: Storyline, ending, cliqued story

...was a lot less than My Little Eye! They really needed a lot more twists and more action involved because there were plenty of times where you could have fell asleep or switched over. This is definitely not one to see, if you must prepare to be disappointed and left wishing that you hadn't wasted 95 minutes of your life on this film. ...

Uwe Gotta Be Kidding

Advantages: Some decent effects.
Disadvantages: Weak and disjointed plot.

72. Alone in the Dark (2005) Or more accurately, small groups of people in dimly lit locations, shooting wildly at CGI and random extras with whited out faces. If I were to choose one word to sum up this film it would be 'why'. In fact, why oh why oh why? Really. What makes anyone think that taking a generic computer game that borrows from older films and stories, and turning it into a movie, will produce anything other than an unoriginal generic ...
...instant intelligence kit. Alone in the Dark is shockingly bad. How it ever secured a 2008 sequel I'll never know - I notice they have a completely new cast and different director. How did Uwe Boll get away with another tiresome game conversion after the mess of Bloodrayne? How is he now working on Bloodrayne 3 as we speak? Films from games already had a poor reputation, but alienating gamers by making a movie with only a passing resemblance to the ...

Trying to steal the prequel with a sequel

Advantages: Entertaining on some level
Disadvantages: A bit too bland for a horror

...characters and understand their anxieties. Book of Shadows, however, tries to use this technique in an almost 'courtroom drama' setting and although there were attempts at creating some suspense for the viewer, they were short-lived due to the gradual predictability of the film. Book of Shadows relies too much on the style of its prequel and not enough on its own horror elements, which seem lazily thrown in here and there. However, even with a lack ...
...have some disturbing scenes - dead bodies/children and 'satanic' rituals with some form of possession - although not altogether horror scenes. Again, these events can mostly be seen 30 minutes before they happen, with few exceptions which make the events only noticeable 30 minutes after they have occured, giving the film a horrible blandness. Although not the worst film ever made, its far from the best and could have been alot better. ...

2001 Maniacs - Slightly misses the mark

Advantages: Great gore scenes, acting is so bad its laughable
Disadvantages: Acting, acting and uh.... acting!

...gore-meister Hershell Gordon-Lewis’ 2000 Maniacs, 2001 Maniacs goes for the ‘so bad its good’ style of horror but slightly misses the mark. Three college slackers, Anderson, Corey and Nelson are on their way to Spring Break in Florida when an unexpected detour takes them into the small, off the map town of Pleasant Valley, South Carolina. They are joined by 3 drifters; Joey, Kat and Ricky, and biker couple Malcolm and Leah, who have all also arrived ...
...a taste of them. 2001 Maniacs certainly lives up to its predecessor as far as blood and gore is concerned, but, for me, the characters are so lame and unconvincing that they are hardly worth caring about. The film is riddled with the type of unconvincing and below par acting that one usually associates with a low-budget horror flick, you would see better at your local matinee on a Saturday afternoon or your son Timmy’s high school play. The actors ...
