COVER STORY





An Unflattering Boll Cut
Why the notorious director of
Postal, Alone in the Dark, and BloodRayne might actually be a genius.






F

ew names raise the ire of
gamers as much as Uwe Boll's. The mere
mention of his name in certain circles is sure to cause great anguish
and a gnashing of teeth. He is as reviled among video game enthusiasts
as Jack Thompson. Boll makes movies, famously terrible movies, that
transcend their mere affiliation with video gaming in their universal
dislike. It's not just gamers who hate his films, but everyone. It's
gamers, however, who harbor the purest of hatred. His highest rated
film on film-review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes is 11% fresh. His
lowest is 2005's Alone in the Dark,
which has a 1% fresh
rating. That's one percent. Anyone with good taste, or any taste for
that matter, is put off by the mind-numbingly terrible movies Boll is
somehow able to churn out with a surprising regularity. Video gamers
hate him particularly because of his films like Postal,
Far
Cry, and
BloodRayne.

But is the unmitigated hate
warranted? Is there some redeeming nugget of genius hiding within these
pictures, some sly subversiveness that we're all missing? To find out
if perhaps Boll's movies are redeemable when viewed with a skeptical
eye, I decided to put myself to the test by watching a few.
