A good 80s slasher. Unoriginal and predictable plot, but has a good cast and an interesting story. Check this out if you're looking for something to rent. 6/10

What could've been a misfire actually rises above its ocassional silliness and the odd chaotic scene to be a competently made effort that has enough decent twists and a name cast to carry it. There's a good (if out of place) opening, a Friday The 13th in-joke, a nice throat-ripping with a garden tool and a cool scene involving a baseball bat and cleaver.

There's little to like in Alone in the Dark. Its killers are blanks, never fleshed out; they're reduced to being dumb maniacs. 19/100

Brainless but fun horror pic with Palance and Martin Landau as escaped patients from a lunatic asylum who, following a power failure, escape and go on a killing spree. -- (eSplatter.com)
