Blu B @RT43513976 Feb 26 Most of the problems in this film can be blamed on the first 40 minutes or so. The humor is almost like a arthouse type of film and it's so unfunny and makes no sense. It's so terribly jumpy, unfunny, and makes no sense most of the time. It's like 70% horror comedy. You think it's going to be a complete trainwreck but than in the middle it starts slowing down and staying focused on the 3 killers stalking the group of people and it becomes a survival film that's almost Hitchcock like where they are trapped in a house. But at the same token it drops most of the humor also and becomes much more serious and interesting. The editing is ok overall and everything else is half decent. The direction isn't bad either with framing and lighting that's moody when it becomes more traditional horror/thriller. The only other problem is the characters all pretty much blend in but when the film decides to keep them all together it works better. If this would've just cut the entire 40 minute start and ha See more Farah R @Farah Nov 27 I was misled by the film's synopsis, which made it seem like Alone in the Dark is an intense psychological thriller, when in reality it's a brainless attempt at a horror film.

As psychos Landau, Palance, 2 others lay bloody siege And killer with hockey mask did it before Jason made it chic. See more Jeepers C @RT12312147 Jun 29 This is awesome 80's home invasion slasher. It stars include Donald Pleasence as Dr. Bain. He is a slightly mad doctor with unconventional ways of treating his patients at the psychiatric ward he works at. A blackout occurs and some of his patients escape. Jack Palance as Hawkes, Martin Landau as preacher, and Erland Van Lidth as Fatty escape and plan to go and murder the new doctor that has taken over at their ward. They steal a car and make way to his home. His whole family is in direct danger. This is where the action and horror starts. The whole story is really good and has always been one of my favorites, since seeing it. There are alot of people reviewing the wrong movie on here. They are leaving reviews for that terrible Alone in the dark movie starring Christian Slater. Wrong movie folks...

A subpar effort from the 80s elevated by the presence of Shultz (original A-Team), Jack Palance, Donald Pleasance, and Martin Landau. Sad it has a twist you see coming a mile away.
