It's spring break and the college kids just want to party. When they charter a boat to take them to a rave on a nearby island, they arrive only to find it deserted..that is, except for the bloodthirsty zombies that have completely inhabited the island. Uwe Boll's HOUSE OF THE DEAD, based on a video game, manages to capture the goofy, giddy flavor of the drive-in features and Saturday morning cartoons of the 1970s. The story involves a sextet of attractive, romantically entangled Seattle hipsters who hire a boat manned by a salty sea captain (Jurgen Prochnow) to take them to an island rave. Unfortunately, there is a legend surrounding the island which they do not heed: an evil, immortal Spaniard has been conducting experiments with the undead there for centuries. Countless numbers of shambling zombies are in fact already poised to being a massive attack on the invading ravers. By the time the gang lands, most everyone at the party has already been killed and joined the ranks of the living dead. Fortunately, the captain is also an arms smuggler and soon the dwindling survivors are geared up with heavy artillery, blasting their way through the hordes in high video-game style. Pumping hard core techno rap fusion, swooping MATRX-style camera moves, manic editing, ample gore effects, clips from the actual video game, and a dash of nudity all coalesce to keep things lively. Those who like their horror a little on the cheesy side may just find themselves in zombie-movie nirvana.

House Of The Dead Movie Review Average Rating: (1.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Terrible, but a must-buy!
House of the Dead is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen, but that being said, it is still an essential purchase for video game fans out there. It is so bad that it is hilarious! The inclusion of video game footage in the game is ingenious. It is well worth the money for this comedy classic; it's too bad that it was supposed to be a horror movie. This is sure to be a cult fave for years to come.

 Pretty Darn Good!
This movie has like five scenes of exploding heads. Need I say more? What happened to the MPAA? Not that I'm complaining, of course. Yes, it rates high on the cheese factor and has some bad acting in it. Not to mention the techno/rap soundtrack. But, if you are a fan of the genre, and enjoy active zombies, intense camera work (ala Matrix), action, ample gore, humor, and not to mention the t&a ... you will be quite pleased. Why not simply enjoy the film for it's camp value? It sure beats the hell out of Resident Evil. Recommended.

House of the Dead Review
Ok this movie sucks! I got the impression that they were trying to do the same thing as Resident Evil however they fell pretty short! What was up the with the 360 shooting sequences? This was pretty lame and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I loved this film if only for the reason that we get to see Erica Durance in a great pre-Smallville roleÉand a topless one at that!

LOL BAD
It is highly insulting to place this movie in the same category as Dawn of the Dead. This is worse than Cabin Fever and there is a sequal to boot. The executives at Lions Gate must be smoking crack.

The follow-up to the blockbuster Spider-Man movie brings with it a follow-up to the blockbuster game, Spider-Man: The Movie. The menacing Dr. Octopus has put NYC in crisis again, but the webslinger is older, wiser and more in command of his powers now. In keeping with the more in-control Spider-Man, the game's controls have been beefed up considerably to allow never-before-seen moves and amazing agility in a fully-explorable 3D world that takes the popular "sandbox" concept of games like Tony Hawk's Underground and ...

 $8.05 
Veteran slashers Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees join forces in this combination sequel to the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and FRIDAY THE 13TH series. The film begins with a quick recap of both Freddy and Jason's "lives," underscoring their respective motivations to kill and their distinct weaknesses. Freddy (Robert Englund) explains that the present children of Elm St. (including Monica Keena, Jason Ritter, Katherine Isabelle, and Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child) have no memory of him, and if they don't know he exists, he can't enter their dreams to kill them. Ingeniously, he ...

House Of The Dead DVD
 $12.65  
Personnel: Mannie Fresh (rap vocals, various instruments); David Banner (rap vocals, various instruments); Lil' Mo, Tateeze, Birdman , Reel , Six Shot, Charlie Pettaway.
With a track list 30-long and a thousand things going on at once, The Mind of Mannie Fresh is just about as good a title as you could find for this crazy ride. The album brings to mind a Southern, crunked-up version of Prince Paul's Psychoanalysis: What Is It?, an album that could be seen as self-indulgent, but could also be seen as a rare journey through a busy producer's mind. Tracks like "Real Big," "How We Ride," and "Tell It Like It Is" are just some of the straight-ahead party pleasers with impact and grooves that stand up to any other chart-topping crunk. That shouldn't be too surprising considering the amount of massive tracks Fresh has helmed in the past, but his scatter-shot humor and crazed-player attitude haven't been explored this hardcore before, not even on a Big Tymers' record. He's hornier than ever too, which makes the "clean" ...

When audiences caught a glimpse of an alien skull mounted in the trophy cabinet of a Predator in the 1990 film PREDATOR 2, it seemed a franchise was about to be born. Sure enough, comic book artists immediately seized on the possibilities suggested by the brief scene, and a number of skirmishes between the deadly foes were played out on the printed page. Fans have had to endure a lengthy wait for a cinematic match-up, but writer-director ...
