    Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on just how much 14-year-old boy you've got in ya.

    Director Uwe Boll wholeheartedly embraces the film's concept, and with some fancy editing and a pulsing soundtrack, the effect really is like watching a video game.

    A fantastically underwhelming sense of production values is present but if you wish to base a score on the question "does this film entertain?", then yes, it does. There are lots of unintentional laughs that elevate it above the standard "*Genre* Movie" and the editing of actual in-game footage has to be seen to be believed. Those familiar with the work of Uwe Boll will not be surprised and, moreover, disappointed. *Best watched - with friends and possibly under the influence of alcohol*… Expand

    ok house of the dead the movie . ok you really cant screw this up much if you played the games . they have the most cheesy and worst voice acting in video games . so uwe boll cant screw that part up atleast and he nailed that part alright. but still manages to screw up a game to movie about people shooting zombies. mainly because he turned it into a teen slasher instead of the AMS agents fighting through the zombie horde . another complete disregaurd to the source material. to all game companys PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! STOP LETTING UWE BOLL MAKE MOVIES OUT OF YOUR GAMES!!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Uwe Boll's "House of the Dead" is simply the worst movie I've seen in my life. NOTHING makes sense. The film will literally pierce your heart for its terrible cinematography as well as giving you nightmares and shudders of how such film can be so terrible. I don't give a **** if this German director started filming at age 10; reality is, he shouldn't.… Expand
