House of the Dead... (sighs) When I heard about this movie in 2003, I didn't really want to watch it at first but when I was on Youtube, it was on there, but when I watched it, I was shocked on how bad it was. This movie wasn't just bad, it's friggin' horrible! You wanna know why? Well then I'll tell you.
A group of 20 somethings are going out to an island to attend the so-called "Rave of the Century." They are so desperate that they pay the Captain from Das Boot $1000. Jesus Christ, is that Rave actually worth going to when it barely resembles a Rave at all?
The captain warns them about the Island they are going to is called the Island of the Dead. (Wait a second I thought this was HOUSE of the Dead.) He warns them about the dangers and blah blah blah blah. The first fault in this movie is that why the hell would a Rave of the Century (Bullcrap) would be held on some island? And who would wanna pay a sh*t load of money to go there? THAT'S STUPID!
After they arrive at the Rave (Which holds about two tents, a small stage and a port-a-john, damn I would have want my money back.) They discovered that someone has crashed the party. Blood's everywhere and no one is around, what do you think you would have done? Run for your live of course but these retards also blind people apparently go looking for their friends.
They come across an old house that is many times bigger than it looks outside. Another half hour of stupidity passes with deaths of the luckier people who get killed first. So what do these dumb asses do? Absolutely nothing, it's like their saying, "Hey with all these zombies going around killing our friends, let's just not do anything and get killed off!" Then we get more and more bad acting, stupid dialogue of jibber jabber, and billions of clips of the once-popular House of the Dead game. Why they put this in the movie, I don't know, they were probably taking crack at the time.
The only good thing about this movie, is Jurgen Prochnow who tried to save the movie with his character, but he doesn't though he tried so hard to. Jesus, this movie makes Double Dragon an Oscar-worthy movie, and that's a bad sign there! So our heroes come back to the house where they face the so-called zombies. At first they face about 10 of them, and then suddenly a crapload more come in from nowhere. You wanna know what else is strange? When the people get the guns, they suddenly turn into Commandos and then become super accurate! I mean, it doesn't make any sense!
So they blast the leathery undead feigns away, zombies are killed left and right, it's just crazy and boring, seriously, I nearly fell asleep after watching this scene. But in the heat of the battle, one of the characters are being eaten and the other character bothers not to help her but decides to have a long ass flashback that leads to this point! WHAT?! That is stupid! Who has a flashback while their friend is being killed? This is the part the ticks me off to NO END! Who would want to put this in a movie?! Goddamn it, I should have sent this piece of garbage to the Marx Brothers!
After fighting their way through the hordes of evil, they learn that a preacher created these monsters to become immortal. The hero and villain say possible one of the stupidest sentences ever spoken in a film.
Dumb Hero who can't act: You created these monsters to become immortal. Why?
Evil villain who also can't act: To live forever!
Reviewer who is MAD: THIS MOVIE IS Stupid!
So two people are left with the destruction of the zombie menace, they finally live happily ever- WAIT! The preacher has survived and engages the two survivors in a sword battle, they defeat the preacher but the second survivor dies, leaving only one left. The Special Forces arrive and save the survivor named Rudy Curien. Wait a minute, Curien? Oh okay, so the name makes a cameo but do you ever see the doctor anywhere? HELL NO! G and Rogan were barely in it; the Magician isn't in it either, so what the hell is the point of adding Curien there when the movie barely resembles House of the Dead? THE MOVIE BLOWS! It makes you want to slit you wrist and take a cyanide pill! It makes Super Mario Bros. Movie look like a masterpiece.
House of the Dead could've been a good movie, but they screwed it up! You know who is to be blamed for this? UWE BOLL, the director who keeps smucking up our favorite games by turning them into crap! I mean, who the hell hires a director that messes up video game movies? Are these game producers taking cocaine while drinking a bottle of whiskey? If Uwe Boll ever asked me for the rights to turn my video game into his movie, I probably punch him in the face and spit on him. Don't EVER watch one of his movies, don't even watch Far Cry because I saw the trailer and it sucks! So that concludes my review for House of the Dead, I give it a 1 out of 10.
