Uwe Boll (born June 22, 1965 in Wermelskirchen, Germany) has come into public light as a director of video game based films, such as House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, as well as the forthcoming BloodRayne and countless others that he has acquired the rights to.
Boll has been a target of criticism by film critics and in online forums for plot incoherence, lack of character development, and bad dialogue. The criticism is almost universal and many people are very emotional about Boll's films.
In particular, the low quality of his video game adaptations has suggested to some that Boll might have a personal crusade against games. But Boll, an avid gamer himself, is passionate about his work. He argues that not many people want to make video game adaptations and fans should be grateful he is at least trying.
Boll claims that the script to House of the Dead was included with the movie rights and he could not change it.
His films have achieved neither critical acclaim nor box office success (House of the Dead managed to break even thanks to a moderately good opening weekend) and are often considered "worst of the year." Critics have sometimes likened Uwe Boll to director Ed Wood.
- As a director, I learn from movie to movie. I'm not the kind of guy who is a genius. Making a movie is hard work...
