House of the Dead movie review

aelst's review

This movie is based on the video game, the one with guns and you have to shoot monsters several times, which gets really tiring. The movie keeps on giving 1 second clips of game which is annoying. If I wanted to feel like I was playing the game I'd go play it.

I watched this for the horror, its not horrible at all. In fact its very lame. And the lines and acting are really bad. There is one funny bit in the movie, where a guy trying to rescue someone from zombies an he only manages to pull the top half through the window because the legs have been hacked off and eaten. She doesn't make it, and after that you can see he is very sad and shaken.. the acting is so bad at this point I had to laugh.

There is some unnecessary nudity in the beginning of the movie too. This didn't add anything for me.

Watching other people playing the video game is more entertaining than this. Dont bother with this. half a star.

Hmm. One wonders how a movie like "House of the Dead" gets funded / distributed / made.

No wonder Ebert and other reviewers didn't even bother to review it, and it's even made it to the IMDB bottom 100 list, sitting at #29! Actually, you will do us all a huge favour if you wander over to the IMDB site and push it further down the Bottom 100 movie list! :)

If bad dialogue, plot holes galore, terrible acting, gratuitous nudity and lousy editing are what you're after, go ahead. Otherwise, avoid like the plague!! Or you'd be giving the filmmaker money to make more movies to insult our intelligence with.
