Damned if you do, damned if you... no, just if you do

The Onion's A.V. club dedicates their "Commentary Tracks of the Damned" feature this week to Alone in the Dark, a horror movie now on DVD despite having been released to theaters only about three months ago. I've been bad recently at keeping up with current horror movies and I have to admit that this one (from the same director as the execrable House of the Dead) was far down my list, but this description of the commentary track by said director (Uwe Boll) makes it sound like a worthy rental, if only for Schadenfruede. Boll "rants" "fumes" and "rails" at various points in the commentary, according to the A.V. Club description, opining on the inferiority of other (commercially more successful) films in the genre and at the weaknesses in his cast. Typically, I don't care much for commentary tracks, but that's because there's usually not enough bitterness and bile on display.
