Watch: Alone in the Dark 2005 123movies, Full Movie Online – Edward Carnby, detective of the paranormal, unexplained and supernatural, investigates a mystery (the recent death of a friend) with clues leading to “Shadow Island” that brings him face to face with bizarre horrors that prove both psychologically disturbing and lethal, as he discovers that evil demons worshiped by an ancient culture called the Abskani are planning on coming back to life in the 21st century to once again take over the world… and only he and a young genius anthropologist with an incredible memory (and his ex-girlfriend), Aline Cedrac, stand in their way, at a gateway to hell. Standing in Carnby’s way, however, is the impact that a brief encounter with an evil spirit called the Queen had upon his mind, as he slowly finds himself overpowered by the forces of darkness as they eat away at his very sanity….
Plot: Edward Carnby is a private investigator specializing in unexplainable supernatural phenomena. His cases delve into the dark corners of the world, searching for truth in the occult remnants of ancient civilizations. Now, the greatest mystery of his past is about to become the most dangerous case he has ever faced.

Spectacular Crap-fest
I don’t know where to begin. Tara Reid needs to be stopped before she’s put in another movie. Stephen Dorff looks like he got his character’s motivation from Val Kilmer in “Top Gun”. Slater sleepwalks through this dreck. The direction, editing, sound (do we really need a heavy-metal video in the middle of a gunfight?), costumes (bulletproof vests with muscles on them), and hey, there’s no discernible plot either. It amazes me that no one attached to the project stopped and said, “hey guys, this just doesn’t make any sense, let’s start over”. Hopefully Slater’s career can rebound from this disaster.Hands down the worst film I’ve ever seen.
SciFi-Monster movie displaying unstopped action, thrills ride , violence and a lot of FX and computer generator creatures
Based on the Atari video game , the film starts with a lengthy opening text . In fact this long prologue was added after several test audience members said they were confused by the screenplay . In 1967 mine workers discovered the first remnants of a long lost native American civilization , the Abkani . They believed there are two worlds on this planet . A world of light and a world of darkness .10.000 years ago , they opened a gate between these worlds . Before they could close it , something evil slipped through . They mysteriously vanished from the earth . Only a few artifacts remained hidden in the world’s most remote place . These artifacts speak of terrifying creatures that thrive in the darkness , waiting for the day that the gate can be opened again .Later on , things go wrong when a saboteur breaks a gate and releases the monsters . They go throughout the gate and hell breaks loose . As some scientists , detectives (as Edward Carnby : Christian Slater ) , the beautiful anthropologist Aline Cedrac (Tara Reid) , and agents of the Bureau 713 (led by Cmdr. Richard Burke : Stephen Dorff) of the paranormal slowly unravel mysterious as well as suspenseful happenings with deadly and unexpected results . As a small team of agents to penetrate at an Alien-style complex .Evil awakens. Can mankind defeat the army of darkness unleashed by an ancient evil cult?¨Alien¨ and ¨Resident Evil¨ Sagas are two good terror/action movies with a lot of attributes which this film version regrettably fails to emulate . Players of Atari’s original role-playing adventure/terror game will know how terrifying it was . The main issue deals with creepy monsters made in 3D computer generator in which they are freed when a mysterious man makes the mistake of opening up a secret door between two worlds and letting them mayhem shuffle forth . The strange creatures , Alien-alike , take another pasting in the shoot’em up/monster movie rendition based on the famous video game from Atari . As our protagonists battle their way through the carnage before the final confrontation takes place . Breathtaking images , crossfire , spectacular battles and duels and lots of amusement and entertainment ; but being really mediocre , and sometimes embarrassing . And is added a brief love scene between Christian Slater and Tara Reid featuring a wonderful song in background . The efficient set up is not enough for delivering a nice movie , and the picture falls in ordinay topics , cliches and a salad of eerie monsters including various scenes with no much sense .
It packs an atmospheric but dark cinematography from Mathias Neumann . It contains a thrilling score , and the song that can be heard during the shooting sequence is “Ghost” by Mnemic and another famous song sung by Neneh Cherry and Youssou N’Dour during the love scenes titled “Seven Seconds” . The motion picture was middlingly made by Uwe Boll who poured a lot of money into special effects ; however , being deemed worst film of 2005 by the Stinkers Bad Movie Awards .All four of the films he has realized that were based upon video games, House of the Dead (2003), Alone in the Dark (2005), BloodRayne (2005) and BloodRayne II: Deliverance (2007) were listed on the bottom of barrel by the reviewers. Most of the other films he’s directed, including Heart of America (2002), and Blackwoods (2002) are not widely available in several countries , but have received similarly low ratings among those who have seen them. Having directed 25 movies up to 2011, Boll is panned by the critics and he has received lousy reviews. Only recommended to those who amuse those kind of adventure/action/horror films or those enjoy in general of the Uwe Boll cinema .The film will appeal to fantasy/SciFi buffs with action enough to make it worth looking in on . In other words, it seem likely Terror/fantasy movies genre enthusiasts and juvenile viewers will be delighted because dash horror , action , fights , shots and adventures are thrillingly presented and edited to offer the maximum impact. Rating : 4 ; below average , though some moments results to be entertaining.
