For those not familiar with the filmography of Uwe Boll, the infamous German-born director is responsible for some of the lowest-ranking films of all time on the IMDb. His back catalogue consists mostly of video game adaptations such as House Of The Dead and Alone In The Dark. Those that I’ve watched, I can honestly say have gone beyond the realms of ‘so bad its good’ and into something altogether more horrifically awful.
With his new film, Boll focusses on the ongoing conflict in Darfur. Starring Edward Furlong, Matt Frewer, Billy Zane and Boll stalwart Kristanna Loken, the dialogue in Darfur is alleged to be improvised by the actors on-set and filmed mostly with hand-held cameras in order to give it a better sense of realism.
I don’t know how this will turn out, but no doubt the film will cause a considerable stir. Whether that be from those familiar with the real-world conflict, from Uwe Boll’s numerous detractors, or from those looking to take Boll on in another boxing match, remains to be seen.
