mattbernhagen-669-345798 Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love bad movies. The IMDB "bottom 100" is great. This movie is different. It's not "so bad it's good". It's not interesting, it's not funny, and it's not fun to watch. I was bored literally the entire time. I was waiting the whole time for something to happen that elicited any response, but that never happened. This is the worst movie-watching experience I've ever had. Do not watch this.

boris_kolarov I haven't played a game from the series the film is based of. Despite the really low rating in the site, I still expected to have some fun. And I kinda enjoyed the film. Yes, the film isn't a masterpiece, but it wasn't a dogs**t. The film had fun soundtrack, awesome action scenes, Kirk, the captain, was my favourite character, the zombies didn't look too awful and there were some so bad, it's good moments. What's bad about this film is the plot, the characters, the script, the way the film looks look, the unnecessary screenshots from the game, some boring moments. Unlike others, I find HotD to a fun cheesy film - not a masterpiece but better than dogs**t. From BAD 1 to EXCELLENT 6 I give it GOOD 3.75 - turns out I've found myself a guilty pleasure. (Uwe Boll didn't paid me)

John I watched this last night whilst playing on my PC. I actually started concentrating less on the game and more on this film as it went along, I even got my friend tuned in to watch it with me whilst communicating via a headset. The reason I've scored this a 2 is because its bloody comical. I don't actually know if it's supposed to be funny, but if it isn't it's that awful that it is anyway. Wait till you see the part where one of the shocking actors picks up the half eaten carcass of another shocking member of the cast and drags her in through the window... Both my friend and I were in absolute stitches.Is no point going on and on about the actors, the set, the dialogue etc. Its a proper cheapo film, end of...How it made it to the big screen is totally beyond me, but if you want a really good laugh then get a couple of beers down you and watch this with a few mates. The film does have one saving grace and that's in the form of several half naked attractive girls... oof.

Leofwine_draca Uwe Boll enjoys something of a reputation on the Internet as one of the worst directors in existence; a modern-day Ed Wood, if you will, incapable of making produce that's not completely terrible in every sense. For me, though, such descriptions are unfair to Ed Wood, whose films were at the very least entertaining. HOUSE OF THE DEAD is nothing like; it's an awful film and even worse than the previous Boll film I watched, ALONE IN THE DARK.An erstwhile adaptation of the popular arcade game, this is a traditional zombie film which sees a group of unwary ravers falling foul of some zombies that emerge from the depths of the ocean to wreak havoc upon the living. So far, so B-movie, but the direction and technical values are of such an appalling quality that even the most generous of movie buffs will struggle to enjoy this. Desperate attempts to interest viewers, such as the gratuitous nudity, fail to work, leaving this a train wreck of a film.Incredibly, Boll gets everything wrong at every point. The decision to include actual clips of the video game is stupid in the extreme. His direction is rubbish, as is the acting, even from seasoned genre veterans like Jurgen Prochnow and Clint Howard. The effects are poor and although the film contains non-stop action, it's thoroughly dull because said action is so poorly staged. Dull, dull, dull and silly throughout, comic book in style but lacking the energy and excitement of a comic book adaptation. The worst zombie movie ever made? Quite possibly, even with all the silly Italian zombie flicks out there.
