Among the most well-known video game filmmakers is Uwe Boll, a German writer, director, and producer whose works include "House of the Dead", "Alone in the Dark", "BloodRayne", "", "Postal", and "Far Cry", all of which were almost universally panned by critics. In 2016, he retired from filmmaking, citing market failures and funding difficulties. Similarly, Paul W.S. Anderson has gained a reputation for his panned video game adaptations, particularly the first "Mortal Kombat" film, the "Resident Evil" series and most recently "Monster Hunter".
