A fantastically underwhelming sense of production values is present but if you wish to base a score on the question "does this film entertain?", then yes, it does.

There are lots of unintentional laughs that elevate it above the standard "*Genre* Movie" and the editing of actual in-game footage has to be seen to be believed. Those familiar with the work of Uwe Boll will not be surprised and, moreover, disappointed.

*Best watched - with friends and possibly under the influence of alcohol*… Expand

You people are ridiculous. I can't believe you are taking the time to analyze this movie as if it were actually supposed to be a scary survival horror movie. Yea it was bad, it was an awful movie, but it was funnier than most of the You people are ridiculous. I can't believe you are taking the time to analyze this movie as if it were actually supposed to be a scary survival horror movie. Yea it was bad, it was an awful movie, but it was funnier than most of the comedies pumped out nowadays. I only watched the last hour and I laughed constantly. You really could not have expected a serious horror movie based on... a video game.… Expand

It is campy, goofy and cheesy. "House of the Dead" is pure awful, but it depends on how you see it, you're gonna treat it seriously, you are not pleased, you have fun with it with friends and NEVER take it seriously, you'll end up having fun,It is campy, goofy and cheesy. "House of the Dead" is pure awful, but it depends on how you see it, you're gonna treat it seriously, you are not pleased, you have fun with it with friends and NEVER take it seriously, you'll end up having fun, but in both way, it is a TERRA-BLE movie. To start off with, the acting is awful, it is never convincing, and forced. The whole plot doesn't make sense, he pays a thousand dollars just to get to that island, it is obviously awful. The only reason I wanted to review this film, I wanted to see if Uwe Boll movies are as bad as I heard they are, they are, he just tries to create a stupid, goofy and cheesy horror film that just works for me as a forgettable, funny and hilariously stupid film.… Expand

"House of the Dead" is absolutely bad, it is a campy, goofy little horror film that is just so bad it is fun. The acting is truly awful, the screenplay does not exist and is not conventional, it is awful. The cinematography makes the action"House of the Dead" is absolutely bad, it is a campy, goofy little horror film that is just so bad it is fun. The acting is truly awful, the screenplay does not exist and is not conventional, it is awful. The cinematography makes the action sequences a bit conventional, intense. The whole film is crap if you are going to take it seriously, if you try and have stupid fun with it, it might turn out as not as bad as it is. But overall, it is not really fully recommended, but if you are feeling like a cheesy horror zombie film, with stupid characters, screenplay and direction. This is the one. The only reason i watched this film is because I felt like watching something bad after the 2014 Academy Awards, and I wanted to see if Uwe Boll lives to the awfulness I heard about him, he is just trying to make cheesy films, with cliches all over the place that turn out, despite outdated, funny and entertaining.… Expand

The film is obviously awful and unintentionally funny. It is categorized as an "Action horror" film and I'll be honest---I did get a strong dose of action. This combined with It's unintended laughs made the film not a complete loss for me.The film is obviously awful and unintentionally funny.

He is just isn't into new ideas, he is into slasher, goofy, cheesy and over the top horror movies that surprisingly work out as entertaining and so bad they are fun. Despite, this film is really bad, nothing is good except for the technology magic, the cinematography is new and interesting, the music is like a video game, it is just so bad, the acting is awful and the screenplay is terrible. However, I can not ignore the fact that I enjoyed it till the end, amI gonna remember any of it in a day or two? NO. But it'll be something fun to laugh at with friends. Avoid it if you are going to take any of it seriously.… Expand

This is a film that's fun to watch just so you can make fun of it. It's loaded with cheesy moments, but I really enjoyed the shootout scenes between the survivors and zombies. The actors were bad except for maybe two or three. The story has absolutely nothing to do with the game outside of the name, a Sega logo, and a guy whose last name is Curien. It's a stupid, campy, B-movie adventure that gave me enough okay entertainment. I wouldn't recommend it to most people, but I found it to be a fun, campy zombie adventure.… Expand

You all like to criticize the man so much but if you look at him better, you will see a man that made countless films and we have done nothing. At least he will be able to say " I made a lot movies that went to the cinema"
