Films
Boll's first two major releases were the horror movie Blackwoods and the drama Heart of America, both of which he directed and co-wrote.
Boll is best known for adapting video games into movies, having directed and produced a number of such adaptations, including House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Alone in the Dark II, BloodRayne, BloodRayne II: Deliverance, BloodRayne: The Third Reich, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, Postal, and Far Cry.
In the opening credits to Seed (2007), Boll used footage of animal abuse and torture he acquired from Peta to underscore the film's nihilism. He has also promised to donate 2.5 percent of his net profits from Seed to Peta.
