it's worse than Starship troopers 2 if that gives you an idea of how bad it is...
Yeah, well the first House of the Dead (Shack of the Dead; again, I refuse to call it House of the Dead because there is no "house" in the movie... but then again, by that logic, I guess I can rightfully call this "School of the Dead" or "Campus of the Dead", either one works) was worse than Rollerball 2002 and the Planet of the Apes remake combined, if that gives you an idea of how bad that is, now that we're on the subject of potentially worse movies out there.
As for the sequel, well it's, in every way better than the original (then again I could pull off a script throwing in a ton of random ideas that pop up inside of my head and it would turn into a better movie than Shack of the Dead [really, that's how awful the first one is], so that's not saying much), but still awful, and on a crappiness scale as high, if not higher than UltraViolet at that (Shack of the Dead is so high up it that it makes UltraViolet seem worthy of 2.5*/5), and don't even get me started on the godawful original (wait, who am I kidding? "God awful's" NOT EVEN A DAMN WORD FOR IT!), that movie wasn't even bad in a funny way (I dare not say that it's "so bad it's good" because a movie cannot, I repeat, CANNOT be both good AND bad at the same time, that's just a redundant and utterly retarded concept for judging film's qualities, I never believed in it. If it's that bad, it's just that damn bad, end of story... as far as being "so bad that it's funny" goes, well, that's another story), it's just beyond awful to watch. I hate the movie Shack of the Dead with a passion, even more than BloodRayne and Alone in the Theater, and I would rather watch Godzilla 98 (another movie that I strongly dislike) for 24 straight hours than watch either one of those craptacular movies ever again, especially the former, which is the worse of the 2 evils (and pretty damn big evils at that). Really, that's how bad it is, that's assuming that that even says enough about how godawful-to-the-bone it is, which I doubt, but anyway, House of the Dead 2 (School of the Dead)>Shack of the Dead, no questions asked.
