House of the Dead is not Good Film But it's not Bad Compare to Most of Uwe Boll's Films it's nothing Awful or Painful Compare to Alone in the Dark or BloodRayne and I wouldn't go as Far by calling this one of the Worst Movies In Some Ways The Movie can be A Guilty Pleasure to Watch Others may not Agree But am Sure Some will.

With a 2 rating on IMDb and only 4% on Flixster, I was curious to see if it was really that bad. Damn I really need to stop being so curious! While it probably isn't the worst film ever made, it surely is one of the worst zombie ones.At time it just seems like really bad music video. The flashes of scenes from the video game really don't help. Especially as this is meant to be a prequel of the games?I gave this a rating of 2/10. The only reason it has a 2 not a 1 is for Jurgen Prochnow. He has some great comedic moments. Well great for this film!Don't Be Curious!

After watching this movie twice, I can confirm that this movie is 100%... GARBAGE. I'm not even joking when I say that this is absolutely terrible in every way.If you don't know what House of the Dead is, Remember that arcade game you played at Dave and Buster's for maybe 20 minutes before you got bored and played something else? Well, Uwe Boll made a movie out of that. If you don't know who Uwe Boll is, he's the director of this movie and widely considered one of the worst directors out there. He's also known for challenging Critics who didn't like he movies to a boxing match. Anyway, on to "House of the Dead"I'll spoil the plot of the movie for you. There's a island full of zombies, teenagers go to it and die. The End. Every plot-point that happens in the movie, I could see coming from a mile away. It's the most predictable and basic of Horror movies, and it wasn't scary in the slightest. The characters are so annoying and one-dimensional that even is they actors were any good (which they're not), they still wouldn't be able to pull it off. The writing in this film reminds me of how I used to write movies... when I was seven. The music is horrible. It sounds less like music and more like inconsistent noise. Overall, this is a horrible film and one of many horrible films made by Uwe Boll. 2/10

Uwe Boll has come to be known as the worst director in Hollywood. The new Ed Wood, the all time supreme master of crap. This film has mediocre action sequences that make no sense and copy other films, it has nothing to do with the famous arcade game, and agent G is apparently a black guy. Uwe Boll you are terrible and you really had a cornucopia of things hand wrapped and given out to you, but you had to do it your way didn't you? But I still cannot get over how terrifically mental it is to not have G and Rogan be main characters. Instead you had to take a bunch of idiot teenagers that we aren't attached because they are so unlikable, and then you screw up the race of which G is. YOU COULDN'T EVEN GET THAT TINY LITTLE PART RIGHT! This was a golden opportunity to expand the HOTD universe and add on to the classic game. It was a chance to make thousands of HOTD fans become proud that there favorite game series was picking up and expanding more. But this is just a smear of trash, making sega curse the day they made the game and making people curse the day they ever picked up one of the classic arcade guns. This film blows. Bad dialogue, scenes, acting, editing, and most of all directing.
