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

Hliarously bad, Ona Grauers had a great performance though. Her breasts performed great.

an asian wearing a one-piece american flag swimsuit jumps(in slo-mo) 10 feet in the air, while a zombie frontflips, throwing an axe, while the asian fires a shotgun shell 50 feet away at said zombie. the axe misses, but the shell hit the zombie dead on in the head... CRAYZAY!!!!

Some good moments but overall a pretty sucky movie with too many plot holes and consistancy problems to mention. Yuk.

Come on, it's a sodding lightgun game for heaven's sake. Well apart from the amount of lightgun games out there renowned for their complex and involving storytelling, they're not exactly of the most popular genre of game either. Which all adds up to one of the most pointless movies of the century so far. Cheers then.

I finally have seen something far WORSE than Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

The only part i like in House of The Dead was the gun battle part and the song "Fury" (House of The Dead) By Black Tiger.

So sad. The creators forgot to include a plot.

I shall take the liberty to quote a man by the name of Mike Skinner for this review. While he did not actually review HOD, he did review Blackwoods, also directed by Uwe Boll. In his closing paragraph, he quite nicely sums up HOD. "I suppose I should go a little easier on Blackwoods though. Boll and company obviously thought they had a couple genius tricks up their sleeves with this film, but it just doesn't work in the overall scheme of things. It's not really as bad as I've made it sound, but it's just extremely not good. Confusing enough? What I mean, I guess, is that while it's minimal there was potential here. It's a shame that that tiny little speck of plot ingenuity ended up being trapped in a film with nothing else of value. There are bad movies and then there are films like this. It wasn't a struggle for me to sit through it and I'll admit Boll keeps things moving at a decent pace...but it's just so mediocre in every single way that it's, like I said in the beginning, a big waste of time. It's the direct-to-video equivalent of sitting on the couch and staring into nothing for ninety minutes. And that, in a way, irritates me even more than a truly awful film that can at least be enjoyed for it's missteps" I think this quite nicely sums up HOD. When I watched it again (yes, I did, I watched it again), I realize that it's not quite as bad as we all thought it was the first time. It's just VERY VERY VERY NOT GOOD. It possessed all of the right ingredients for a good movie, and somehow achieved an hitherto unseen level of mediocrity. This movie will always have a special place in my heart as THE WORST MOVIE EVER. … Expand

I shot the screen five times.

The most incompetently filmed, acted, edited movie in cinematic history! You know you're in trouble when the best performance is by Clint Howard! Rent it for laughs only.

Hahaha! This is a good laugh, I enjoyed it immensely.

It was awesome. I liked how they put some of the game in the movie. Rating for horror would be a 3. Rating for action a 9. I liked how the camera spun around the characters while shooting.

Oh my god, where to begin... This is by far the most hideous film I've watched this year. Prochnow just did it for the cash and is flying emotionless on automatic pilot, but still has the best performance. (worst of his career though) I laughed mostly at the parts where, just after a hundred people have been slayed, the characters start to talk about their relationships or amazed to see a new room in the house. Editing part of the videogame makes things even more laughable. One of the MOST stupid lines in the movie: "Good choice, Dessert eagle! I like the way you think girl!"… Expand

THIS MOVIE IS SO AWESOME! It's like Kung Pow, it's a comedy that relies on stupidity to make it funny, and it's stupider than Kung Pow! Wait, you mean this is supposed to be an actually scary, cool, and awesome action film? Ohhhhhhhhhh.

Best fun I've ever had at the cinema! The film is a laugh-riot! As long as you go into it expecting bad, but funny bad, it is an extremely enjoyable film. Don't get me wrong, as a horror film it is terrible, but it as a comedy its brilliant. Cinema erupted in mock-applause at the inappropriate romantic section in the middle of the film!

Quite possibly the most un-scary movie I have ever seen. I watched how they shot the undead and how the blood splattered and how numerous body parts were severed which, by the way, was annoyingly unrealistic. The sense of horror a horror-survival movie should inflict on the viewer should be that of horror-survival. The survival element was there, but dilluted, and there was a very vague sense of horror in that the zombies acted like a bunch of mindless morons. An interesting thing that was incorporated into the movie were scenes from the actual House of the Dead video game. This novelty, though a good idea, failed to be the movie's saving grace. In the end we have a complete waste of time and money, and unless you are a die-hard (no pun intended) fan of House of the Dead, and I mean die-hard fan, you should stay as far away as you can from this movie.… Expand

You people are ridiculous. I can't believe you are taking the time to analyze this movie as if it were actually supposed to be a scary survival horror movie. Yea it was bad, it was an awful movie, but it was funnier than most of the comedies pumped out nowadays. I only watched the last hour and I laughed constantly. You really could not have expected a serious horror movie based on... a video game.… Expand

This movie was horrible, whoever directed it played the video game waaay too much. A bunch of former college students/current parties who all seem to know the martial arts, even the japenese one who had a hard time walking, and could shoot better than a fully trained marine? Gimme a break, this movie sucks and I feel dumber for having watched it.

Purely horrible, even making fun of the plotholes and completely crappiness of the movie wears out within 10 to 15 minutes.

After viewing this cinematic tragedy, one must sit back and honestly ask themself: Why? Why was this movie made? Was it supposed to bring to life the story of a mindless zombie-shooting arcade game? Was it a chance for the director to see how many bare breasts AND dead people he could put in the same movie? Or was it simply a 90 minute Sega commercial? One sediment comes to mind, after several seconds of thoughtful reflection: I HATED THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!!!… Expand

This movie is the stupidest (horror) movie ever, i agree with all of you. No plot, no acting (those in the movie weren't actors) nothing scary, pure stupidity. BIG 0.

I consider this a Comedy movie than a horror movie.

Pros: none cons: too many too say overview: just please do not watch this train wreck of unimaginitave action sequences that make absolutly no sense. just please do not watch this.

Man, this movie was the worst i've ever seen. It wasn't even the tiniest bit scary. Whole movie was just shooting zombies and blowing them up with grenades and then shooting them some more. Don't waste your time here or you will regret it.

Honestley. I have no idea why would anybody would want to see this movie. To me, it makes little sense and I'm still trying to figure out why did the happy campers turned into zombies. Sure, the gamelpay clips looked (kind of) cool, but even that can't save this crappy film. Bad indeed.

This is certainly not as bad as I thought it was going to be. This is a film that's fun to watch just so you can make fun of it. It's loaded with cheesy moments, but I really enjoyed the shootout scenes between the survivors and zombies. The actors were bad except for maybe two or three. The story has absolutely nothing to do with the game outside of the name, a Sega logo, and a guy whose last name is Curien. It's a stupid, campy, B-movie adventure that gave me enough okay entertainment. I wouldn't recommend it to most people, but I found it to be a fun, campy zombie adventure.… Expand

A horrendous disaster on video game flicks that makes even Bloodrayne more worth watching.I wholeheartedly agree with the new york post saying that this film "inspires the thoughts of less than zero stars". this film is so terrible that even a 2 hour recording of a group of five year olds playing Call of Duty 4 (which is an amazing game) would make a far better movie.

Don't come and see this if you think it is true to the game. It is so horrible, SEGA could sue for slander.

This was one of the most boring, predictable horror movies I have ever seen. I don't recall feeling scared at all. It had a few entertaining moments, so I can't give it a zero. With the little flashes of video game tossed in, it seemed like it was an attempt at marketing the game through the movie. As for the "Matrix-style effects" in the gun battles--enough already!!! Please, no more! In most types of movies, it just looks stupid. Certain SF movies, such as the Matifx series, can justify their use, but that's about it. … Expand

I can't believe I paid money to see this movie.

Don't expect a good film. Expect to laugh at a REALLY bad movie. I laughed at this movie harder than I laughed at most comedies. Absolutely hilariously bad movie. It's like a 14 year created it. Take 5 of your friends out, and watch this one at the dollar theatre. You'll have an immense amount of fun.

If I could rate this movie lower I would. What were they thinking?

When actors place their hands on foreheads to signify anguish over the deceased, rather than make, even a game attempt at crying, you know you're watching a straight-to-video production. Incredibly, "House of the Dead" gets a theatrical life en route to your DVD player. Most of the scenes play like full-dress rehearsals with the cameras rolling. And when you see how lethargic the zombies are, you wonder why the ravers couldn't escape harm. "House of the Dead" is, of course, more commercial than film, and made exclusively for video game addicts, or morons. … Expand

"RELOAD! RELOAD! Shoot outside the screen!" I was hoping to hear that line at least.

When I watched this movie, I wasn't looking for a good storyline, I wasn't looking for good acting. I came to this movie looking for a classic 'let's-kill-zombies' action flick. Oh, and I want some references to the vdeo game in there too. I got just what I asked for, Perfect 10.

It was an hour and a half of my life I can never get back...

Could this movie get any worse. I mean they had low-budget immitation matrix revelutions around the actors for the fight scenes. They edited in clips from the game?!?! WTF is that, isnt this a movie with a story line??? The music for the fight scenes was so unfitting playing Barney would have been better. My schools maskot looks better then the zombies, not to mention they had glowsticks for eyes. Thrusting a gun foward toward what you are shooting at, no matter how well intended, will not make the bullets hurt the zombies more!! I had to leave half way through to go puke my guts out in the mens room. … Expand

I can't even begin to decribe how pointless and stupid this movie is. First off, you think the director could have picked a video game with uhh....more of a story than house of the dead. Secondly, the movie was ridiculously stupid. Which makes for a great campy B-movie like feature. So bad it was funny, however, I still can't grade it high on that. While it may have been hilariously bad, I've seen worse/better b-movies that made me laugh even more than this peice of cinema crap so thus, I give it a score based on how good it actually was in the way it intended to be.… Expand

what the hell was that? it wasnt scary at all, just a bunch of retarded monsters running around in the woods killing hot girls. and where the hell was the HOUSE? this movie was so bad and it reminded me of the old country where my mother beat me with garden stick.

Uwe Boll should never be allowed to touch another movie again, or he should kill himself.

This doesn't qualify as a film. Uwe Boll needs to stop and fall off a cliff. Umm.. let me name the Asian girl Liberty and break the stereotype of her being called Wang. I love how everyone knows martial arts and how Mr. Boll randomly puts scenes from the video game to reassure us that its a VIDEO GAME MOVIE! And he also has to reassure us that wanting to become immortal is to "live forever!" And dont get me started with the random rap music and awful techno. But I did enjoy laughing my ass off constantly at the one-liners and crappy special effects. Worst movie I have ever seen. Period.… Expand

Uwe Boll got paid to spin the camera in a circle. I passed kidney stones with more enjoyment. I think I am going to go watch the grass grow. If Boll wants to fight everyone who hates his movies he'll have to Fight the World. After seeing Uwe Boll number three you should expect worse every time. Never hire him to direct again.

Honestly, this is the worst movie that I have ever seen. The game I thought was rediculous enough without a good story, which had awesome and intense players wanting to just shoot something up. However, it all falls down to the game movie trying to make something of itself. Being a gamer enough as it is, I was looking foward to the movie simply because of the title. No where in the genre that was said about the movie was meant for comedy. It's worth a nickel to see if you want, better for free. I may have enjoyed this movie if I was ever into pointless events, a crappy story, zombie killing mayhem without me doing the killing, and sex in the middle of all things. I give some points on how good looking the stars are... I take some points based on how their performance took place in the movie. Honestly, they were all pretty stupid.… Expand

i hated this movie from beginning to end. the only thing i found hilarious about it was before they met that cop on the cliff with all the guns the teens were all helpless nd jus trying to stay alive but as soon as they pick up a rifle and some grenades they learn kung fu nd suddenly decide to fight.

This is an insult to zombie films. Wait, scatch that, this is an insult to films as a whole. This needs to be burried in a land fill next to the old E.T. games.

I was so disappointed with this movie. I thought this would be at least a 1.

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

A cheesy good time, if you actually expected this movie to be serious, then you really don't know how these things work, this is the perfect example of a B-rated Zombie movie, it's got it all bad acting, cheesy plot full of holes, gore, and nudity, and honestly it's just fun to watch, even if you want to watch it just to laugh at it.
