50Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on just how much 14-year-old boy you've got in ya.
-
40There's scarcely a whiff of originality in the zombie horror picture House of the Dead, but Uwe Boll has directed it with enough energy and style that it adds up to passably mindless if grisly fun.
-
38Director 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.
-
30Dull and unimaginative.
-
25Unimaginatively recycles all the teens-in-the-woods gorefest conventions.
-
25House of the Dead, sadly, is so bad it's bad.
-
25Somewhere between cartoonishly bad for comic effect and bad because the filmmakers didn't really give a damn, The House of the Dead is, at least, unpretentiously dumb.
-
Laughable performances.
-
20Heres a would-be horror film that contains not one ounce of professional pride in its making, not one shred of technical competence. This is one of the worst films of recent times.
-
20Much poorly choreographed gunplay, many lovingly rendered head explosions, and some half-assed exposition about centuries-old, immortality-seeking pirates follow, with nothing to recommend House Of The Dead to anyone but the most undiscriminating zombie-movie fans.
-
20Prochnow rocks; nothing else does.
-
20Does little more than add another title to the very long list of movies influenced by George Romero's 1968 horror classic, "Night of the Living Dead."
-
0Based on a video game, far exceeds expectations -- in negative ways that inspire thoughts of less than zero stars.
-
0Its cheese of the purest stripe, bafflingly bad to the point of being oddly charming in its brain dead naïveté.
-
To properly convey the jaw-dropping shoddiness of this videogame-based ''horror'' ''movie,'' one must approach what scientists call Absolute Stupid, a state previously thought to exist only under highly controlled laboratory conditions or at the highest levels of government.
