About Uwe Boll
Uwe Boll is a German filmmaker. He came to prominence during the 2000s for his adaptations of video game franchises. Released theatrically, the films were critical and commercial failures; his 2005 Alone in the Dark adaptation is considered one of the worst films ever made. Boll's subsequent projects during the 2010s were mostly released direct-to-video to negative reviews, although the 2009 films Rampage and Darfur were more positively received. After retiring in 2016 to become a restaurateur, Boll returned to filmmaking in 2020. His 2026 action thriller Citizen Vigilante garnered attention and controversy after it was banned from release in Germany.
