But people always tell me not to be afraid.

That's because they don't know the truth.

Welcome to watchmojo, and today we're looking at the worst adaptations of horror video games.

Given that the game features an intricate web of alternate paths based on your decisions and reaction time, any kind of adaptation of until dawn was bound to feel a bit watered down.

And that's just what happened with this movie.

Instead of trying to follow the game's plot, the movie instead puts a group of friends in a time loop of horrors.

After each grisly death, they awaken to try and make it out.

Both the cast of characters and the story are paper thin compared to what players got to experience.

It isn't offensively bad, but its gimmick gets old quickly.

And since you're left with an adaptation almost in name alone, we have to wonder what the point of this was when we die.

You think we get a chance to do it all again?

Number nine Five Nights at Freddy's Protecting these cuddly critters in the proprietary technology that brings them to life is now your sacred duty.

The thing that made Five Nights at Freddy's fun to begin with was its chilling simplicity.

Creepy animatronics hunting you from the shadows.

And while we appreciate the production design of the 2023 adaptation, it loses sight of what makes the premise work.

Weighed down by a bloated, overly complicated narrative, the movie was stuffed with unnecessary plot points that took away from what should have been the main stars, the animatronics themselves.

This diluted form of the game's iconic baddies split, spread thinly out over the runtime, does them a disservice.

Instead of the tight focus that made the game so enjoyable, the movie went in directions not many cared to see.

Resident Evil we'll touch on the infamous movie franchise later, but

Netflix's series adaptation of Resident Evil also got a fair amount of deserved criticism.

I'm not saying he was right or even good, but he could have been worse.

It may have sounded promising, since it was to deal with the outbreak of Umbrella's virus and maybe be a bit more in line with the game lore.

Even still, splitting the focus across two timelines caused neither to be fully fleshed out, nor that entertaining.

Tonal inconsistencies with its writing also mounted up, combining for an ultimately uneven and disappointing eight episodes.

I don't think you can kill them all, so we have to learn how to live with them like we do AIDS or Ebola or anything else that's trying to wipe out the human race.

Fans of the games were particularly unkind and it became one of Netflix's lowest rated shows ever.

Unsurprisingly, it was cancelled after its first season.

He won't do anything to me because hurting me hurts Umbrella.

And let's face it, Umbrella is all you have.

Following the equally disappointing Watchtower, this direct to streaming sequel stripped away the signature humor and over the top gameplay Dead is known for.

Instead, you're treated to a generic thriller that seems to have zombies as an afterthought.

First time around I didn't have any gear either, but I survived.

We need to remember the reason we're down here.

1.5 million lives and we're running out of time.

Shoved into the middle of the game series, the plot and its one note characters do little to hold your interest.

Nothing here holds the same humorous edge found in the game series, nor the chaos that comes from crafting wacky weapon combinations to mow down hordes of the undead.

They manage to take something as violent and zany as Dead Rising and make it a boring routine zombie movie with nowhere near the same level of heart.

I'll come back for you if I beat the clock.

Why don't you ask your CO what your orders are?

To contain and neutralize the threat, protect the civilians and retrieve retrieve UAC property.

Here's where we start to get to the truly terrible.

With a simple but very effective premise about a space Marine battling demons from Hell on Mars, the adaptation takes everything exciting about doom and throws it out the window.

Instead of demons, there are genetically enhanced humans.

Instead of a lone warrior tearing through hordes, the movie is full of bland, forgettable characters.

Despite being led by Karl Urban and Dwayne Johnson, I have lost four soldiers.

What are you people experimenting with up here?

It all comes off as very generic sci fi when the source material is a trailblazer blazer of video games.

In fact, the best moment is a first person sequence filmed to look like the games, everything else surrounding it will only bring fans disappointment.

Number five Resident Evil the Final Chapter While there are a lot of them, you could argue there isn't a single good Resident Evil movie, and

you wouldn't find many who would argue against you.

But to avoid having the franchise take up half the list, we're going with the particularly sour Note that Paul W.S.

anderson's run ended on with the Final Chapter.

My satellites Show There are 4,472 humans remaining on the surface of the Earth.

They will cease to exist in under 48 hours.

It is a dreadful slog across the finish line and a definitive example of stunning style over substance.

Not that the style is good to begin with.

The over reliance on CGI effects and chaotic editing choices leaves the action as muddled and messy as the plot.

Although knowing you'll get nothing resembling the games in the final chapter, the movie even fails to be a satisfying conclusion to its own storyline.

The antivirus is airborne, spread by the winds.

It could take years for it to reach every corner of the earth.

Number four Silent Hill Revelation I don't think you should go.

I don't think you should go to Silent Hill.

While the first live action Silent Hill movie had some issues when it comes to tone and visuals, it was a pretty entertaining horror flick, but

there's no one out there defending the sequel.

Unlike the first movie, it couldn't even get the tone of the song source material right.
