Uwe Boll, German director, producer, and screenwriter

Uwe Boll (German: [ˈuːvə ˈbɔl]; born June 22, 1965) 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 films during the late 2000s and 2010s, comprising video game adaptations and original projects, received home media releases to better, although still mostly negative reviews. After retiring in 2016 to become a restaurateur, Boll announced his return to filmmaking in 2020. His films are financed through his production companies Boll KG and Event Film Productions.
