Trailer - Uwe Boll's Rampage

Uwe Boll has made some of the worst films in the history of cinema. The man is a scourge on society; video game adaptations Postal, Bloodrayne and In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale being just a few of the plagues he has unleashed.

That being said, this trailer for his next film - Rampage - looks incredibly compelling. Take a look (but be warned, it does contain some fairly intense violence.)



Now the movie doesn't look fun or pleasant, but I'll be damned if it doesn't look interesting. I really want to see it, if only so I can know exactly what it is. Surely Boll hasn't made an action movie about a man who goes on a killing spree; that would be too reprehensible even for him! So what is it? A morality tale? A satire?

A review at /Film did state that this was Boll's first ever "good" movie (although they stressed, not "great"). I don't expect the film to be smart, but only because I saw his name in the trailer (and by the way, a piece of advice: if your director was Uwe Boll, don't put his name in the trailer!)

So what does everyone else think? Are you interested in seeing this film - if so, why? And if not, is it because of the topic matter, the director, both, or something else?

Rampage does not appear to have a scheduled release date either in the United States or overseas
