Customer Reviews of Alone in the Dark
Palance, Landau, and Pleasence Needed The Work! I laugh when I see low-budget horror-science fiction films that feature actors who once starred in great classic movies. "Alone In The Dark" is such a film.
A loony doctor(Donald Pleasence) runs a mental institution. Three patients(Jack Palance, Martin Landau, Erland van Lidth) imagine that their psychiatrist(A pre-"A-Team" Dwight Schultz) is planning to kill them, so during a blackout, the insane trio escape to seek out and kill him.
Jack ("Shane," "Attack") Palance, Martin ("North By Northwest") Landau, and Donald ("The Great Escape") Pleasence had all seen better days. Landau gives a hammy performance that would make Rod Steiger blush. He can be seen laughing and screaming hysterically and bulging his eyes throughout a good part of the film. I find it hilarious that Landau once performed admirably with the magnificent Cary Grant in the four-star Alfred Hitchcock classic "North By Northwest" nearly a quarter-of-a-century earlier and was now starring in low-budget dreck like "Alone In The Dark." Of course, Landau would redeem himself fourteen years later by earning an Oscar for "Ed Wood." Likewise, Palance would later earn an Oscar for "City Slickers."
"Alone In The Dark" is good for a few big laughs but nothing else.

After browsing the horror movie genre of amazon, I came across this movie. The reviews for it were all positive and I enjoyed Donald Pleasance in the Halloween series so I bought it. Boy was I dissappointed! Even though there were some good scares, it was more of a comedy than a horror. Was Donald Pleasance supposed to be the doctor or one of the patients, his role confused me at points.
Passable slasher stuff!
The story of escaped mental patients who terrorize a family during a blackout. Some scares and gore make this enjoyable enough.
