I had heard of the numerous poor reviews for this movie but rented it anyway as I was a fan of the arcade game and wanted to see for myself what it was like. Several times I almost turned it off, only forcing myself to watch the ending to get what little value for money there was to be had. To begin with the film has nothing to do with the game, instead there was some garbled nonsense of soem Spaniard from several centuries ago killing the crew of a ship to land upon an island where he began to reanimate the dead.
Added to this the characters were truly forgetable, none of them offered any empathy with each other, let alone the audience and none of them could act. The dialogue was laughable, the camera work painful to endure as the director attempted to copy Matrix only to fail in whatever intent he attempted to capture. The zombies themselves were not scary or realistic and it never ceased to amaze me how well a group of people who had never handled a weapon could so easily use a variety of powerful military issue guns and not miss. Also in every other zombie film made it takes a hell of a lot to kill one as they are already dead and yet many went down wuth a single bullet or stab wound to the chest. I particularly liked the skill that the heroine employed with a sword at the end of the film despite the fact few in real life could use a sword for more a few seconds without cutting some part of their body off in the process.
In short everything about this film was wrong. Why SEGA wanted their name plastered all over the beginning of it is a mystery in itself for few would want to be associated with this travesty.

there is one thing that always gets me about horror films, you never usually get ok ones. i happen to think this is one of those films though. this film doesn't have any sort of plot, but it does have some great action scenes. one of my favourite moments is when the cast are shooting the zombies in the graveyard and the camera does a 360 slow motion around them. its low budget, but genius at the same time. there are better zombie films around, but i do like this one. you can easily find these for under £5, so give it a try. don't let other people decide for you, do it yourself.

I wasted 102 minutes of my life on this film and being the magnanimous person that I am I don't want anyone else to do the same. Let's face it, you could be.... knitting... stabbing yourself in the eye with the knitting needle you're knitting with.... Anyway, the music is great. Yep, that's about all that this film has going for it. There has been many films based on computer games and some of them are excellent. Take Resident Evil for example (although, like many other film franchises they got greedy and samey). And then there is House of the Dead (which I have spent many pleasant (and expensive) hours in arcades playing). But who thought it would be a good idea to advertise "SEGA" at the rave and then, horror of horrors, every two minutes, just as the film feels like it's getting pacy, keep interjecting it with cartoon visuals of the original game (although it's so bad, I'm not sure it is original game footage or some made up rubbish). And just because they didn't think that was 'cool' enough, they keep doing terrible slo-mo. Then there's the bit when one of the actors says they've run out of bullets and all I can think is "Just hit 'RELOAD'" I feel sorry for the actors (who did a decent enough job with a bad script) who were desperate enough to sign contracts to make this film but I hope the people behind the script and signing off on this met the same fate the actors did on reel. And... to every wannabe director out there...don't do pointless narration.

Just as the Amazon review of House of the Dead describes this film as an intentionally cheesy, over-the-top movie, that is, indeed, what it is, but there are big problems here. Something or other has gone horribly wrong as the whole film gives you the impression that this is intended to be 100% serious.

Watching badly acted teenagers arrive on an island for a rave, find zombies, then get their hands on a gun and suddenly become Keanu Reeves makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and the Matrix-wannabe rotation shots are badly done and seem to constantly circle around people with not much actually happening. Short clips from the videogame cutting between the action is not only jarring, but also completely rediculous.

Here's where it gets sad - it looks so good. The scenery, the zombies and the lighting look and feel very much like the videogame it is based on, and look more atmospheric (in a music-video kind of way, this is no horror movie) than anything you've seen in a while, and the rediculously over-the-top final battle is very entertaining (even though you're wondering how she's even a master swordsman, she just came here for a rave!!). Seeing such a badly pulled off movie with that much potential is just torture.

A shame!

This is a terrible movie, has nothing to do with the game, bad acting, bad factual data for example, YOU CANT FIRE A DESERT EAGLE ONE HANDED AND THE ONLY VERSION YOU CAN WOULD HAVE RECOIL YET THE ACTORS FIRE THEM WITH NONE. sorry had to get that out the way as it really bothered me during the film, no idea why.

the acting is as i have already said terrible, the script is worse theres no idea as to what is going on it jsut seems like a random set of scenes from different movies with the same actors forced to work together.

then it cuts to random scenes from the game (trying hard to keep to the game).

fact is dont be fooled and think i might as well try this film, its not worth it, its an hour and a half you wont get back.

House of the dead is a game that didnt really have a storyline, its jsut go along and shoot zombies, a film was a bad idea, and yet here it is...avoid.
