The only evil thing in this film, is the film itself.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P-Gc5bgZ2B8?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">BloodRayne (2005)<\/h3>\n<p>Uwe Boll also then decided to translate the vampire action game,\u00a0<em>BloodRayne<\/em>, into a feature film, with pretty terrifying results.<\/p>\n<p>Loosely based on the games, <em>BloodRayne<\/em> starred Kristanna Loken as Rayne, a human\/vampire hybrid, along with Michael Madsen and Michelle Rodriguez, whose lines will make you cringe from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>To say the movie was hated would be an understatement, and not even Kristanna Loken\u2019s nude scenes or action sequences could save this fun-sucker.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F_dmvG9QM8U?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">House of the Dead (2003)<\/h3>\n<p>Boll seems to have a knack of making sub-mediocre video game adaptations, but he doesn\u2019t care. Everyone\u2019s favorite arcade shooter from SEGA was\u00a0another of Boll&#8217;s targets.<\/p>\n<p>The thin plot of the game didn\u2019t leave much to work worth, but at least it was fun.<\/p>\n<p>Boll didn\u2019t include any of these and the film represents a zombified version of \u2018Whack-a-mole\u2019. If you\u2019re a zombie yourself and have no brains, you might have a laugh watching it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/htx3igt0ksk?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Postal (2007)<\/h3>\n<p>A movie based on Running with Scissors&#8217; mass-murder game <em>Postal<\/em> was always going to be a bad idea, but that didn&#8217;t stop Boll from making it.<\/p>\n<p>The movie, as expected, is sexually-charged, racially insensitive and a complete waste of an hour and a half.<\/p>\n<p>Boll mistakes shock for satire and crudity for cleverness in this desperately unfunny movie. Rather watch <em>God Bless America<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RBSJHpqgHCU?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Far Cry (2008)<\/h3>\n<p>The name is just begging for puns to be made, but we&#8217;re better than that (not really).<\/p>\n<p>The film was a far cry from the quality of Ubisoft&#8217;s game franchise, replacing the game&#8217;s clever action premise with mindless violence with no real point.<\/p>\n<p>The lead actress is terrible and Til Schweiger is too good an actor to be wasting his time\u00a0with nonsense like this.
