Summary: Recommended if you are retarded, 8 years old, or both.
Review: I feel such violent disgust with this joke of a movie that I was prompted to immediately log on and write this review. The movie isn't even over yet. It's still playing in the living room.
I absolutely had to leave the room and come vent my anger while it's fresh on my mind.I have seen some immature, acenine wastes of film before, but this one takes the cake. Seriously. This is hands down the sorriest movie ever made. I don't have the energy right now to fully convey how horrible this movie is. From the inter-cut scenes from the video game, to the embarassing acting, to the non-existence of anything even remotely close to character development or plot, this one is truly laughable. This movie, and the people who made it, are why the rest of the world hates America. Seriously, screw our our politics and foreign policy. It's because of this movie. It represents everything that is wrong with America, modern filmaking and the human race in general. Utterly pathetic.

Summary: The Trick To Watching This Movie Is...
Review: Remember this movie isn't just based on a video game, but really is in a video game. The movie continually adds footage from the video game, and there is even a "game over" type shot for those characters that die. This adds to the video game feel of the movie. You have to realize you're not in the real/movie world. You're in a video game. Once you can lose yourself in this the movie isn't nearly as difficult or horrid.
The movie is slow to get to the action. But the first real battle with the zombie army is very long and very interesting. You have to realize again during this scene that you're watching a video game and not a normal movie.
The acting is bad, but can you really expect much more? Its a zombie movie. They aren't known for oscar worthy acting. The soundtrack is mind-numbing metal that just adds a background noise like a bad videogame. The plot is something out of a video game.
Are you catching a theme in this review.
This can be an enjoyable, mindless, zombie killing movie, if you can get to the point where you just accept you're just watching a video game.
Oh, and the special features and deleted scenes on the DVD aren't that great. But there is one featurette on making a zombie movie. They interview Savini and Romero, and anyone who loves the zombie genre will enjoy these interviews, especially Romero talking about "Twilight of the Dead."
So this is a fun movie to rent, but I wouldn't buy.

Summary: Crap and junk !
Review: House of the dead was complete crap! This was the worst movie I had ever seen... in my life! Literaly! This had bad acting, and I have no clue how the director thought this was an actual movie. And scary? How stupid was this movie you ask?I'd give this a negative one hundred million out of 1. It made gigli look like an AWARD WINNER! I'm only a kid, but I could have made a better movie.

Summary: Worst movie Ever.....
Review: I just got this movie on a buy two get one free deal, I figured why not, it's free. I have a pretty big DVD collection and even some pretty bad movies get to stay on my shelf. Immediatly after this movie I broke the DVD in two and fed it to the trash can.
The acting in this movie was non-existent, the special effects (there was one good one with an axe and a shotgun bullet), while having a few alright moments, were ruined by senseless 80's video game footage. Picture and sound are good on the DVD and if you just want to try out 6.1 DTS on a new system (and don't mind horrible techno music) then rent this DVD. I would say that may be the only reason to watch this other than the nudity but that's over after the first 10 minutes.
basically I have never bothered to write a review before but this was such a waste of time I feel I owe it to myself to warn others.

Summary: Absolute Crap, DO NOT BUY OR WATCH THIS SHOW!!!!
Review: Trust me, you may feel that I am exaggerating but I am not. The Show was so ridiculous, it is not even funny. The acting was horrible, the dialogue was horrendous and the special effects & Zombies were atrocious. The director of this movie needs to be shot. I cannot understand how a movie like this could have ever been made. I watched this show on Pay-per-view and about 30 minutes into the show, I wanted to strangle myself along with the people in the show. I can't believe that they actually tried to blend in actual footage from the video game into the show, this is by far the dumbest idea ever. Do not buy this DVD, I would prefer to flush my money down the toilet than spend it on this rubbish. I would prefer to stare at a wall than watch this garbage. This movie is a waste of time (1hr. 30mins.), this was probably the only time I actually regret wasting 1 hr. 30mins. of my life and I want it back. Unfortunately I cannot post this review unless I give the show a star, but otherwise I give this piece of crap 0 stars out of 5.

Summary: This is the reason horror movies have a bad name.
Review: The Excorsist, The Omen, The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sence, Night Of The Living Dead. What do all these movies have in common? They are all great movies, not just horror film, but very good movies that show us just how good a horror film can be when taken seriously. This will be the one and only time that any of these films are mentioned in the same sentance with House Of The Dead.
(...)this movie (...)seems like one of the dumbest films ever made.
The story, if you can call it that, has a bunch of kids, (big shocker huh) going to an all weekend party on an island. When they get there every one is gone and there are signs of somthing foul. The premis, in the hands of a better director, writers, actors, grips and just about everyone else that had anything to do with the film, may have made somthing at least watchable, but this film is so bad you have a hard time staying awake let alone being scared.
The acting is just bad. The only recognizable actor is the man who plays the captian (I won't mention the actors name becouse if you'r looking for a good movie he did go watch Das Boot) other than that no noe I had seen before. And what worse they almost seem like they are setting up for a sequel, the one word in the english language that sends shivers down the spine of any horror fan. The film at times actually incorperates images from the video game (Oh yeah, the movie is based on a game so you know it has to be good) in the movie when there ripping off the Matrix.
THis movie is soo bad that I can't even recomend you to watch if you'r looking for a bad movie to make fun of, it's not even a good unintentional comedy.

Summary: What an insult to a great Video Game
Review: What a terrible insult to a great video game.
There is nothing to say about this "would be" Zombie movie based on the video game by the same name except..... Everything Was Don Badly In This Film !!!!! SEGA should sue for defamation of character over the way they insulted a great video game.

Summary: total waste
Review: avoid at all costs. there's not one redeeming quality about a movie such as this one.
not even the occasionally "so bad it's funny"...
it is simply BAD.
now you may still want to be a sucker (i'd rather use the term looser) and rent it anyway. your problem. judging from the other reviews, i'd say you've been amply warned...

Summary: ZERO FREAKIN STARS!! Z E R O!!! I WANT TO GIVE IT A 0!!
Review: I knew this slouch of a film was crap before I watched it, but I watch crap for fun. Like "Troll" and "Troll 2." Or "Frogs." Or "Darkness Falls." Or Jeepers Crappers. I even sat through (a rented) "feardotcom" and lived to tell. I've survived "It's Alive III" and "Howling III," so trust me--I know crap and this is one big, huge, steaming pile of taco-infested, stale beer laden CRAPPOLLA! This film lacks the following:
-Plot
-Character Development
-Acting -Continuity
-Actual relation to the game on which it's based
-Competent Directing
-Likable Characters
-Anything remotely resembling a real Zombie film It DOES however have:
-2.5 seconds of on-screen breasts
-Clint Howard
-Laughability (unintentional)
-Acres and acres of needless, cliche'd, pointless, BORING bullet-time.
-Actual shots of the VIDEO GAME spliced in as TRANSITIONS! WHY?! Here's an example of the "quality" dialogue you'll find in this toilet-stuffer: Pee-on: "So, you did all this just to be immortal? But, why?"
Gay Zombie Leader: "To live forever!" And here's the actual (or as close as possible) reason-for-the-zombies-existing scene: Wanker looks into microscope. Sees poorly computer animated "cells" doing nothing. Wanker looks up, then quacks: "So THAT'S how it's happening. Uh, It's . . . GENIUS!" Oh, and the "House" of the dead? It's more like a "Shanty of the Retarded." If you watch this, don't pay to see it. And if Hollywood doesn't want people to steal their movies (aka "bootlegging"), then they shouldn't thrust crap like this down on the the unsuspecting denizens of the world. Oh, and the GIGANTIC "SEGA" logo that took up half the screen for about 10 minutes was the worst product placement I have ever seen and only served to remind us all of who was to blame for this urinary tract infection of the film world. Oh yeah, the zombies looked stupid, the action was boring, the gore was uninteresting, and the bullet-time (gag!) sucked as it usually tends to, these days. If Bin Laden had seen this film, he'd give up on trying to destroy Americans, he'd see us clearly doing it to ourselves--albiet in a slower more agonizing manner. STAY AWAY!!!

Summary: Please believe them!!!!!!!
Review: My fiance and I decided to go to see this movie at the cinema today. Just before we were leaving I read through the first page of reviews here and was almost put off, but we had already decided to watch it and thought 'what the hell'! Maybe the reactions here were over the top. They aren't! Please don't waste your money on this movie. I love horror movies. I love first person shooter video games. After this movie I was in shock! Someone had actually charged us about $10 each to be subjected to this rubbish. As we are living in the Middle East, most of the first 10 minutes (with nude scenes) were cut. At the time this annoyed me, as I hate it when movies are censored, but by the time I left the cinema I counted myself luckier than all the people in the rest of the world who would have had to sit through an extra few minutes to finish this piece of cinematic torture. The desire to get out of the cinema as quickly as possible was only tempered by the thought that people seeing everyone rush out at the end of the movie might make them think it was actually scary and convince them to watch it! If you have somebody you REALLY hate, buy them this DVD!
