Race Through Time (2000)
Mar 8, 2008Time Travel
TV movie in which aging William Devane travels back in time to try and prevent the death of his father
Shawn Williamson
Heart of America: Home Room (2002)
May 15, 2018School Shooting
One thing you don't associate with Uwe Boll is a concern for social issues. Made in the aftermath of Columbine, this is an early Boll film that is a surprisingly solid attempt to address the scourge of US school shootings
House of the Dead (2003)
Feb 17, 2006Zombies/Videogame Adaptation
The first of Uwe Boll's videogame adaptations and the beginning of his bad director reputation. This is a zombie film by the numbers but it was at the forefront of zombie film revival of the 2000s
White Noise (2005)
May 22, 2005Communications from the Dead
Ghost story about so-called Electronic Voice Phenomenon with Michael Keaton as a widower being contacted from beyond by his late wife. A film that achieves some quite reasonable spooky effect
BloodRayne (2005)
Mar 29, 2008Videogame Adaptation/Vampire War
Another Uwe Boll's videogame adaptation, this feels slung together from vampire film and sword and sorcery cliches. Among the badly mismatched casting, the most eyebrow raising is Ben Kingsley as the vampire villain
Seed (2007)
Feb 14, 2010Executed Killer's Revenge
Uwe Boll ventures into Torture Porn territory with this tale of a brutish serial killer who returns from the electric chair on a trail of vengeance against his condemners
White Noise: The Light (2007)
Apr 21, 2008Premonitions of Death
A sSequel in name only to White Noise, this is a very silly film with Nathan Fillion returning from a near-death experience able to see the auras of those about to die
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)
May 24, 2009Epic Fantasy Adventure/Videogame Adaptation
Another of Uwe Boll’s videogame adaptations and one of his better. Boll is seeking to emulate the 00s epic fantasy fad and succeeds with some great action choreography from Ching Siu-Tung
Bloodrayne: Deliverance (2007)
Oct 19, 2008Videogame Adaptation/Vampire Western
The second in Uwe Boll's trilogy adapted from the videogame, this plays out as a mix of Western and vampire hunter film and is marginally better than Boll's usual standards
Postal (2007)
Jan 11, 2009Videogame Adaptation/Bad Taste Satire
Another Uwe Boll videogame adaptation, a satire where Zack Ward sets out on a shooting spree. Boll sets out to offend as many people as possible but somehow forgets to make any of it funny
Far Cry (2008)
Mar 9, 2011Videogame Adaptation/Super-Soldiers Amok
One of the worst of Uwe Boll's videogame adaptations. This consists of action sequences slung together with random indifference and badly mismatched casting
The Final Storm (2010)
Jun 17, 2013Mysterious Stranger/Possible Biblical End of the World
Uwe Boll seems to be improving. Here he has abandoned action for a character-driven drama about the appearance of an ambiguous stranger heralding the Biblical end of the world
Descendants 2 (2017)
Mar 29, 2019The Children of Disney Villains
Sequel to the painfully bad Disney Channel film that copied the success of High School Musical and featured the teenage children of classic Disney animated villains. This is just as empty-headed and unwatchable
Summer of 84 (2018)
Jan 19, 2020Retro 80s Film/Teens Believe Neighbour May Be a Serial Killer
The second film from the trio that made Turbo Kid. This taps 80s nostalgia focusing on a group of kids who believe a neighbour may be a serial killer but was overshadowed by tv's very similar Stranger Things
Earth Abides (2024)
Jan 18, 2025After the Apocalypse
Earth Abides is a classic novel that essentially defined the theme of survival in the aftermath of the collapse of civilisation. This is a TV mini-series adaptation of the book but badly fumbles it
