Alone in the Dark (2006)

It's never a good sign when a movie starts with a huge crawl of text in an attempt to provide an explanation of what you're about to see. It's also not good when the assumption is made that moviegoers will accept Tara Reid as an archaeologist because she is wearing glasses and has her hair up.

Paranormal investigator Edward Carnby has an artifact that an evil archaeologist desires. It is the key to a door between two worlds and there are monsters in the other world. Not sure why people always wants to open that door, but here we go again.

Carnby used to be part of secret government unit 713, which is also involved in the search as there is paranormal stuff going on. Twenty years earlier twenty orphans disappeared, (then reappeared), but as adults have gone missing again. Carnby was one of the orphans but does not succumb to the force taking the others as the night of the disappearance he hid in a power supply building and was electrocuted.

It's just plain ridiculous with cgi monsters and things that don't make any sense. The weirdest thing is for Carnby and archaeologist Reid to escape through a wooden bulkhead on the orphanage lawn. Was that even there before? How could no one notice it? If they were looking for orphans, wouldn't they look down there? And how did the archaeologist happen to have made a lab in the underground tunnel that housed the door to the other world? He didn't even seem to know it was there. Good god.....
