Interesting plot

Yes I'm one of the few people who thoroughly enjoyed the first Alone in the Dark. So I was extremely excited to find out the is a second one.

There are some interesting characters in the film. Lance Henriksen plays most compelling and best performed character in the picture and Bill Moseley gives a very good performance. Unfortunately is the lead (Rick Yune as Edward Carnby) a disappointment. The story is not too bad. If you are willing to overlook some flaws you might find to like it.

Alone in the Dark 2 is strange, as it's not your typical B or Z horror movie. Unlike Alone in the Dark 1, this movie has a strong potential in its deep roots, directly inherited from the game. PLUS it adds stuff from H. P. Lovecraft, which is always a good thing.

From the get go, the movie goes look like a low-budget film, but compared to some of the crap I've seen, it's a good one. And for a low-budget DVD sequel, it's pretty good with a really great cast.
