House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, In the Name of the King, Postal (not released in the US), BloodRayne II, Far Cry (not released in the US)...
Uwe Boll has made a name for himself destroying game to movie conversions. Not mention what seems to be a complete inability to actually make money with a film. So, if there is someone in the movie industry that deserves a Worst Career Achievement Award more that Uwe, their name is not immediately coming to mind.
He's referred to as our generation's Ed Wood. But I'll be honest, I've watched a few Ed Wood movies and where yes, they ARE terrible, they at least have a certain charm to them. With Boll's travesties, not so much. His movies are miserable from sweeping vista to exposed stunt equipment. If you must watch them... watch them with friends. The ensuing heckling will be infinitely more entertaining.
