After seeing a commercial for Alone in the Dark I checked online to see if this film was indeed a screen version of a great series of video games.
It is.
I also discovered, however, that the director of the film also directed the--so I hear--lackluster House of the Dead film, also based off of a video game. The crazier thing is the other movies he has in development: Bloodrayne, Hunter: The Reckoning, and Far Cry. For those of you non-geeks out there, those are all video games. Dude's name is Uwe Boll: video game adaptor. Judging by the trailer for Alone in the Dark, it's going to be nothing like the game. On the other hand, it does have Christian Slater. Awesome.

You write as if there is any hope for "Alone in the Dark" in the first place. Look at your movie history; has ANY film adapted from a video game ever been any good?

I was hoping that the trend with good comic-to-movie adaptations would spill over into the video game-to-movie world. Apparently there are some things that the world simply isn't ready for.

Well it would help if these video game to film adaptations had competent directors and scriptwriters attached. But no... sadly we get the advent of Paul "Not the Magnolia-guy" Andersen. Shoot me.
