Jungle holocaust.

Despite good directing, this film was a goreless, boring as hell sausage fest.

"Poseidon" 7.5/10

This didn't get a lot of good reviews but I thought for what it was...not a bad effort at all.Harking back to the cheesy "disaster" movies of the 70's...albeit with MUCH better special effects.Put your mind on hold, grab some popcorn and enjoy.

Those "cheesy" disaster movies of the 70s are my favorites!! Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake, Tower Inferno, etc.!! I definitely have to rent this now. Thanks newb!

"You got Riki-Oh'd bitch" I also tend to kick open doors and stuff now. (here and there Ill smash through a cement wall too) easily made in on my top 10 favorite films list.

Probably one of Uwe Boll's masterpieces.

Sadly, it was an okay action movie, but they reallllly screwed up the story. With theone in the movie, there could only be a finite number of monsters, and only the humanoid kind.

Even if they had decided to actually follow the Doom3 story only, there is plenty to work with for amindless action flick.

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte

Pretty damn good film, a little less effective than "What EVer Happened to Baby Jane?" (These two flicks are like sister films...)

Bette Davis is superb, as always.

my biggest beef was the complete waste of The Rock who has a pretty endearing screen presence ..
they gave him fuck all to do on this one..

sort of like Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 weeks .. waste a good talent on a part any assole could have played.

I completely agree. They also included the classic BFG and it killed a couple of walls....

i would be surprised to find out that the director ever played Doom, any of them. The name and the look of the monsters were Borrowed from the game, and that is baout all the resemblance it had.
