Elvis D @Elvis-Del-Valle 03/11/2023 Si bien la primera película fue una mala adaptación, esta se aferra más al material original, ya que retoma el terror psicológico y sobrenatural de los videojuegos. Lamentablemente como película es bastante mala y peor que su predecesora. Cuenta con actores destacables, puesto que hay algunas caras conocidas. El problema es que este film carece de sentido e incoherencia. No llega a entenderse del todo y es bastante aburrido. Tratándose de una película para vídeo, no es de extrañarse. Por más que la primera película no fue una joya, al menos era entretenida por sus escenas de acción y monstruos. Esta, por otro lado, es un thriller sobrenatural que, en vez de emocionar, aburre. Alone In The Dark 2 es una pésima secuela que hace quedar a la primera como una buena película. Mi nota para esta película es un 4/10.

See more 12/21/2017 I fail to understand why or how Edward Carnby as a character is required in this film, as it felt that they could have had anyone and the result would have been the same. See more 10/03/2015 So not only did Edward Carnby grow four inches and CHANGE ETHNICITY while we weren't looking, apparently the human race also hasn't been wiped from existence any more, so that's nice. No seriously though, what the Hell? And why would anyone touch this franchise after Uwe Boll got his mitts on it? I can only assume there was a rights-expiry factor here. That's literally the only possible explanation... Even then... See more 10/01/2014 Let's say for some incomprehensible reason you didn't think "Alone in the Dark" wasn't a total piece of shit and you decided to check out the sequel. How is it? Does it satisfy? Well I'm here to inform you that not only is the sequel, "Alone in the Dark II" worse, it has absolutely nothing to do with the first film. The plot is a near-completely incomprehensible mess, but here's what I was able to put together: centuries ago, there was this witch who was killed. Before she was killed though, her dark powers managed to possess this dagger. Anyone who touches it becomes infected and will eventually die, unless they track down a piece of the witches' heart and puts it in the hilt of the dagger. When Edward Carnby (Rick Yune) gets infected himself, he seeks the help of the descendants of the man who imprisoned the witch in the first place. It's going to be more difficult than said though because although Natalie (Rachel Spected) and her father Dexter (Bill Moseley) are willing to help, Dexter is reluctant to team up with the one man that will really be able to find the witch, Abner Lundberg (Lance Henriksen). None of the characters from the first film return (as far as I can tell, maybe they name-dropped at the beginning when a whole bunch of random mercenaries get killed by the witches' ghost). Furthermore, I doubt even if you found the original film compelling, or frightening you would love this one because the type of horror it's attempting to do is a completely different. Basically, if you somehow managed to trick yourself into thinking you like that first movie there is absolutely nothing here for you. As a film by itself, the plot is vaguely established and confusing. For long sequences of the film you will be wondering who the main character is because Edward Carnby (who I assume is the main character) doesn't come on-screen until at least 15 minutes into the film. There are multiple plot threads that come in and out of nowhere, the makeup and special effects aren't particularly impressive and the film is never the least bit frightening. You have Danny Trejo playing a small role, just so you can have his name in the opening credits because his character appears in two scenes and brings absolutely nothing in the movie. The acting is bad too. There's nothing else to say really because it is incredibly dull to watch and overall simply a waste of your time. Don't even give "Alone in the Dark II" a second look. I know your instincts are telling you that it might be a step in the right direction and possibly more faithful to the video games because this one isn't directed by Uwe Boll, but you'll wish it was. At least that first film was terrible, but memorably terrible. The only positive thing I can say about the movie is that it clocks in at under 90 minutes so if you somehow get yourself in a situation where you are watching the movie and you can't simply turn it off and walk away, it won't waste an absurd amount of your time. Writer/directors Michael Roesch and Peter Scheerer do not create anything here that's worth your while. (On Dvd, February 28, 2014) See more Read all reviews
