Top 5 Worst Video Game Movies

Last week the video game adaptation Mutant Chronicles was released in a limited release to theaters, and to no surprise the critics and the rest of America didn't care.......The film was made in 2007 and rightfully it was shelved, and so they decided to go ahead and dump it in April. Anyways here are a list of some of the other terrible and ridiculous video game movies. Unfortunately most of them are directed by the world's worst director Uwe Boll.

5. Super Mario Bros
.
Let's start the list off with the very first video game adaptation. They attempted to go all out to make sure that the film was successful, a good budget, a great cast, and a horrifically bad script. It seems that the sheer concept of it being a video game movie wasn't enough to draw in the crowds or appease the critics. Instead it created a monster that can't be destroyed or stopped.







4. BloodRayne


Alright here we go Uwe Boll's first appearance on the list. Here's was a movie based on a video game that wasn't even that popular, and the movie w
as about vampires but seriously lacked in vampire awesomeness. Instead the film revels in terrible and horrific production value. However Uwe Boll did attempt to be creative for a brief moment. A scene with Meat Loaf....yes he's in the movie......anyways Meat Loaf has visited a brothel and comes across a bunch of vampire prostitutes. Well Uwe Boll being the visionary that he is decided to hire actual prostitutes to portray the ladies. Damn You Uwe Boll.

3. House Of The Dead


Uwe Boll's second and defiently not last apperance is with 2003's horror flick House of the Dead. The video game itself is one of my all time favorite arcade games, but Uwe Boll decided that he wanted to ruin this franchise as well. The film lacks any type of plot, terrible acting, and looks like it was directed by a five year old blind child. Don't watch this please....actually I really feel as though I shouldn't even be acknowledging this film's existence, because I'm sure this is how Uwe Boll gets his power. He scours the internet looking for articles about how terrible his movies are by nerdy college kids who can't get half the money he gets to make an actually decent and intelligent film.....................and he laughs.

2. Wing Commander

Do you remember Wing Commander that game from the early nineties? No, because neither do I. Regardless of the film's nonexistent audience the studio still decided to make the film in 1999, nearly five years after the last game's release. The plan was a sure fire plan.....put in a hot young cast, throw in some outer space battle scenes, and a ridiculously uncomfortable romance back story.........hmm sounds more like a Uwe Boll movie but no it was directed by Chris Roberts producer of such fine hits as The Punisher and Who's Your Caddy.........





1. Alone in the Dark

The final film of this amazingly bad list is Uwe Boll's third appearance with 2005's Alone in the Dark. One of my biggest problems with this movie was Tara Reid. Apparently someone thought that it was believable to cast her as a scientist.......what the hell? Serously......Christian Slater's in it as well and I actually still like him so I'm not mention how terrible he really was in this movie. So the film's credibility is already shot, but Uwe Boll continues with Stephen Dorff who seems to be ripping off Iceman from Top Gun with his ridiculous performance. The film itself completely implodes not just from the terrible performances but from the overly serious plot that seemed as though it wanted to include some social commentary.......Jesus.
