Just saw the previews for this movie today and OMG...it kicks ass.....this thing looks like it could be a great movie....has the creatures and mood that reminds me of aliens.... Edward Carnby (Slater), 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 (Reid), 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. Release Date: January 28th, 2005 (wide). movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1808495833&cf=trailer&intl=us

Hmmm.... I used to play the game "Alone in the Dark". It was darn difficult to play - I always got killed - and it was very spooky. LOL Obviously they made a film out of it - usually it´s the other way round.
Nice trailer but of course, you can't really go by that to know if the whole film will be good. ;D

Hopefully it will be a bit better than Resident Evil.

First it was a DOS, which was a nice little game and, if I am not mistaken, you could download it for free from the Internet. And then they brought out a more sophisticated version and THAT game was rather difficult. And yes, it does on one site say that this film is based on the game. ;D

I played the game before the movie came out. I agree the game was hard but I beat it and it was ok. I have also seen the movie and I found it to be a bit hoaky. The redeeming factor for me was the fact that I like Christian Slater and he played the part of Carnby in it.
