This is one of the worst films I've seen. The only positive thing I can say is it was so bad that is seemed comical. First off, there's no plot. The actors appear to be reading off cue cards and do the dumbest things. Such as being chased by dead people but yet wanting to go out and look for their friends. Also the zombies were terrible, no where near as fun as any of Romero's work, who gets s plug in the movie. And the dumbest part of all was they kept showing flashes of the video game in the action sequences. Like we don't get the video game is about shooting zombies. Also, all the 20 somethings some how know how to use automatic weapons and hit a target without even aiming the gun. And the way the people die is so stupid. It's like they run out of ammo so stand around waiting to be jumped on. And when cornered in front of the house they run out of ammo instead of shooting the door open, So dumb.

FINAL VERDICT: If any of these actors appear in another film, then they've been blessed with a second chance. Definitely the worst film I've seen in years. A B-movie on cinemax is better.

I'm not sure about this film. Are the film makers idiots or are they just making a film and marketing it to idiots? All I know for sure is that this is a dumb film....no, it's an offensive and dumb film. Everyone in the film seems vacuous and worthless--with dialog and actions that constantly reaffirm this. Their greatest interests in life are partying, cursing and taking off their clothes...period. So, when they all start to get killed off like in a Friday the 13th film, you really could care less.

This incredibly obnoxious and unsubtle film was, not surprisingly, made by Uwe Boll--the man responsible for many films based on video games. So, we have perhaps the worst living film director AND a film based on a video game...does it get any worse than this?! Viewers are treated to lots of blood and gore, many explicit scenes of vomiting and girls who take their clothes off for absolutely no reason. The latter is really weird, as the film was filmed in the Pacific Northwest--and people all were wearing jackets and long sleeve shirts--yet, in this bizarro world, girls just gotta rip off their clothes in some of the most gratuitous scenes you could imagine. Perhaps ut even then it might make sense if this were a porn video...a bad porn video. Instead, this crap was marketed mostly to teens and stupid people.

The plot, for what it is, is very simple. A group of vacuous and horny young adults(?) take a boat to a party on an island known as "the Isle of Death" for some sex and alcohol. Instead, people start turning into zombies and ripping each other to pieces. Yet, inexplicably, many of the prey know cool martial arts skills OR turn out to have high-tech weapons with inexhaustible supplies of bullets!!! The dumbest is the captain of a crappy fishing boat--who suddenly sports a high-powered rifle with a scope and laser!!!! What the heck?!? Overall, it's a movie with all action that's set to a loud Euro-pop beat. There is nothing in the way of plot, acting or caricatures---just zombies, cursing, nudity and death. If you LIKE the idea of a virtually plot less film with no acting or writing--just zombies, death and annoying music, then this movie is for you. Otherwise, it's a waste of time and clearly deserving its place on IMDb's Bottom 100 list.

I had heard much about this film, most of it bad. But I wanted to see it for myself. I wish I hadn't. There may be some novelty value in its awfulness but apart from that House of the Dead is one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. It looks cheap, with fake-looking gore and terrible effects. Not to mention that it is like the third film I've seen in a row with some of the worst camera work I've ever seen in any movie. The lighting is ineffective also, even for a movie of this genre it is too austere, and the scenery I just couldn't enjoy as a result. The music is loud and over-bearing, starting sluggish in tempo and then rushing on for no real reason. The script is full of overlong and quite frankly lazy exposition, repetitive rhetoric and dialogue that comes across as hackneyed and trite. The pop culture references especially feel thrown in and add absolutely nothing to the actually non-existent atmosphere The story is a mess, what there is is predictable and lethargic with nothing standing out as scary or suspenseful, a lot of it reads of a rambling music video with a cheap attempt to evoke some horror. The direction is incompetent, not surprising considering it's Uwe Boll, whose reputation for making bad movies is notorious. The characters are stereotypical, have absolutely no depth to them and are not likable at all, more annoying above all else. The acting ranges from bland to irritating, nothing better. There are some nice-looking people that unfortunately can't do anything with what they've been given. All in all, simply terrible, a must avoid if preferable. 1/10 Bethany Cox
