Squatworthy, our latest new feature on squatsquat.com, highlights things in the media which either got 0wned or deserve to be. Think of Squatworthy as our version of the Bat Signal–A herald to the Squatters of the world to join us in the fight against things that Suxx0rs.
It’s purely coincidental that our first Squatworthy highlights something video game related–Bloodrayne: The Movie. Bloodrayne, which cost around $50 million to make and promote, has only grossed an embarrassing $2.4 million in three weeks!
Not having seen the film, I can’t go into detail about what made it flop, but from a quick look at IMDB, I can think of three reasons.
- It’s based on a video game. (Sad but true)
- Uwe Boll came within 50 feet of it.
- The femme fatale main character was played by someone who looks like they belong in your high school yearbook.
The people have spoken with their dollar, and Bloodrayne will go down in history as yet another substandard video game adaptation. We can only hope this disaster will keep other, more beloved, game franchises from suffering the same fate.
