Movie Reviews of Alone in the Dark

Movie Review: The Problem Is That You're NOT Alone...
Summary: 4 Stars

Four insaniacs: The Preacher (Martin Landau), Frank (Jack Palance), The Bleeder, and a 400lb. child-molester w/ the strength of 10 men, escape from the local asylum during a blackout. They cause havoc, murdering anyone unlucky enough to cross their path! Landau's character is my favorite, w/ his joker-like grimace of psychotic glee! Donald Pleasence (Halloween 1 and 2, Raw Meat) plays Dr. Bain, the man who believes these murdering kooks just need a hug and a good talking to. Needless to say, he is proven wrong. Dwight Schultz also stars as a Dr. who must protect his family from the home-invading lunatics! Carol Levy is the ill-fated Bunky. Directed by Jack Sholder (The Hidden). Entertainment value: High...

Summary of Alone in the Dark

At a secluded mental institution, Dr. Bain (Halloween#s Donald Pleasence) maintains order while electricity fuels the asylum's hi-tech security system that keeps the nearby neighborhoods safe from menaces like Frank Hawkes (Academy Award?-winner Jack Palance, City Slickers) and "Preacher" (Academy Award winner Martin Landau, Ed Wood). Meanwhile a new doctor, Dan Potter (The A-Team#s Dwight Schultz), arrives in town with his family, but the inmates don't take kindly to his presence and believe he has killed off their former therapist. Suddenly a power outage leaves the town in chaos...and now the maniacs are free to roam the streets and hunt down the man they believe has invaded their lives. With the area quickly descending into riots and chaos, the innocent few must fight for their lives when they#re left terrified, cornered and Alone in the Dark! One of the most memorable and terrifying cult horror films of the 1980s, this white-knuckle shocker from director Jack Sholder (The Hidden) features shocking special effects from Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, Friday the 13th), delivering one seat-jumping scare after another along with a thick vein of sly, pitch-black humor. Turn off the lights and watch...if you dare!
