Holy Sh*t this was awful.

I just had the simply orgasmic pleasure of watching this film/turd.

I've seen better acting out of celery, the camera work resembles what I would imagine would be the end result of the cameraman suffering a stroke, and the editing is something that makes Windows Movie Maker look good.

I can't say that I am a House of the Dead fanboy as I have never played the videogames....but I am sure the fanboys wish those arcade light-guns were real.

I have a degree in filmmaking and I am myself a filmmaker. I think I am well versed to say that if I ever pooped out this steaming pile of fecal celluloid, my parents would want their money back. (As would the scholarship people).

1/5 Stars.

The funny thing is I don't mind it. Lets clarify its 50,000 miles off anything resembling a good movie but all this hatred and its place in the bottom rated IMDB movies baffles me. There are far far far worse flicks out there but I think I know why this is where it is, because of this infatuation with "Trends". Its trendy to slam Uwe Boll and this is always the first movie that comes up whenever people discuss/troll him. Do you know how many people I've spoken to who slam the director and his movies, even rate them on IMDB without having even seen the stuff? Its like people who dislike a certain actor so automatically give every one of his/her films a 1. Uwe Boll has done some stinkers and is by no means a talented director/writer but I think most of the hatred is because its cool to do so like Bieber, Cyrus etc. People never think of Darfur or (In my opinion) the hilarious Postal they just rush to slam this particular movie. House Of The Dead isn't great but if peeps think this deserves a place in the bottom 100 then I think they need to see more movies.

You are too kind. This movie has gotten far more attention than it deserves.
