Summary: STUPID, STUPID, STUPID...
Review: Fifteen seconds into this worthless flick and I was hoping some zombie would put me out of my misery. Ridiculous effects, moronic dialogue, amateur acting, and a limping storyline forces this film to self-destruct almost before it begins. It's not even a slight addition to the modern horror genre, which is comprised of goose eggs as it is. Save your money, unless you're the small audience it's aimed at: Intellectually challenged boneheads.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: House of the Dead.....Asleep after viewing this movie
Review: Words can't justify how painfully bad this movie is. I am a huge Clint Howard fan, and I love bad movies to boot. But this film is just AWFUL!! There really is no story, no scares, not much blood, and not enough Clint Howard. The Zombie makeup was a joke, they looked like standard Wal-Mart quality Zombie masks, and like other reviewers, I hated they way the spliced in scenes from the video games. I knew I was in trouble watching this movie when one of the hapless party goers gets thrown up on as an excuse to for a gratuitous boob shot! Not even MST3K could save this drivel!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: its what it is
Review: i am a huge fan of the game and found this movie to be interesting. i like the fact that they try to stay alive by doing things that keep them selves in danger because lets face it if they didnt there would be no movie. my friends told me i would be dissapointed by the movie but i enjoyed it. it gave me a break from bad teen movies.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your time or your money on this!
Review: I rented House of the Dead,thinking it would be halfway decent after seeing a television commercial for it.Boy,was I wrong.Besides being a cheap film with a bunch of unknown actors and actresses,some of the camera work is very annoying.The movie is more or less a poor way to promote a videogame.At about 90 minutes it shouldn't have been this hard to watch,extremely boring except for a few scenes.If you want to watch zombie movies watch "Return of the Living Dead" and the first sequel to the night of the living dead,"Dawn of the Dead" both of these are much better movies than this low budget piece of garbage.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A COLONOSCOPY IS MORE FUN TO WATCH
Review: It's not a good zombie flick.

They are selling an X-Box Game.

It's odd how marketing somehow shapes movies. Like that Depp film, PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN. Were they not promoting a ride at Disneyworld?

Hmmmm...movies about carnival rides and movies about video games. Not a good place to start in making a film about anything.

They have filmed Colonoscopy procedures. WAIT A MINUTE...that's brilliant. An action packed thriller taking place inside someone's bowel where, ultimately, we sieze back the evil colon and all the minions who dispatch the twisted plan.

...or, seeing something even more dumb...like HOUSE OF THE DEAD.

Summary: Not bad and almost enjoyable
Review: This movie has gotten the worst reviews I have ever seen, but when I saw it, I expected it to be way worse. The begginng is not the best but it begins to pick up after the first half housr. I like the explanation of how the zombie's lived. The video game references were cool too. The writing I will say was awful but besides that everything is decent. It isn't the best movie I have ever seen, but enjoyable none the less. Maybe it is so bad it is fun to watch. I sometimes like movies like that, but all in all it isn't as bad as people say. The movie has it's high and low points. It was also nice to see Ellie Cornell(Halloween 4, 5) in another movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Horror Fans Will Be Dissapointed
Review: "House of the Dead" was meant to be a horror movie,but the writers but all the stuff in it that makes it a diffrent genre alltogether.The things are comedy,nudity,and bad acting.The movie is more of an action movie than a horror movie and it does
manage to entertain in that way.The director messed up too in the way that the camera movements are to fast and jolty and it is sometimes hard to see what the hell is going on.In my oppinion however,this movie was better than "Resident Evil".

The movie is about five kids going to a killer rave on an island,but when they get there they find no one there except some diabolical zombies who want what else? Flesh.From there regular civilians get a hold of guns and somehow become expert sharpshooters and another thing.These people are murdering DEAD people.The keyword is dead.How do you kill a dead person? In this case with a gun.Bad idea.Anyway,the movie is like being trapped in a videogame you have no control over and sometimes manages to entertain.I wouldn't suggest paying your own money for this film but rather wait until your friends rents it or buys it.C-.Enjoy.

Summary: This Movie was sooo bad!
Review: The movie was horrible it was just a stupid excuse to get the video game bigger and to make some money. The movie was unbearable to watch, no one in it could act at all. The whole movie was mostly fighting scenes too. The way they would show the character in the circle type way was horrible and just made it seem even more like you were just watching the video game itself and they also put clips into the movie from the video game and that just made it worse. The matrix type movies just showed how hard they were trying I mean c'monn. This movie was too bad , I actually liked Resident Evil, another video game type movie becuase it had a pretty good plot to it and it had good fighting and the zombies/dead people looked so much better. This movie did not compare even close to that one, they should of atleast waited till they had a bigger budget to maybe make the movie look better. I have to say, if I was to watch this movie with my eyes closed I think I would of liked it better. THE MUSIC WAS AWESOME!! I loved the music soo much, that was the only thing that kept me watching the movie. Also one other good part to the movie which was half chilling was when the main zombie put his toungue in that chick's ear. The only problem was it sucked because they showed it in the previews! They should of at least saved one of the actually good parts of the movie for the moviegoers to watch. Well in other words this movie was bad and don't bother unless you love techno and rave type music and then you could just put the movie on and like just do something else while you listen.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fun to watch, but nothing more...
Review: Here is yet another example of a video-game-based film gone wrong...For some reason it is another prequel (like the RESIDENT EVIL film) where it introduces the character of Rudy Currian, the mad scientist behind the first videogame. True, the movie has some cool action and MATRIX-ish special effects, but story, acting and dialouge is garbage. However, If you are a video game fan, it might be fun to check out...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What a waste.
Review: This movie should have been better considering it actually had a budget. I have literally seen dozens of zombie movies with no budget that were better than this. The most annoying aspect is the splashes of footage from the Sega game mixed into the story. The movie borrows heavily from Romero (boarded up survivors in an old house), but there is no substance. You will definitely pull for the zombies in this movie since all the humans are bad actors that deserve to be a zombie feast. I do have to give credit for a few gory zombie deaths, with one star given for gratuitous zombie head explosions and a second star given for gratuitous nudity. One last point - the techo music during the fight scenes(ala The Matrix) sounds like it was composed on a Casio keyboard. This movie is bad but not funny bad. Watch only if every other horror movie is missing from the video store.
