House of the Dead is bad.

I mean really bad.

I'm guessing no one really expected anything from it, but its failure is still impressive. I love zombies and cheesy horror movies, and I couldn't finish it. It is an insult to the game on which it is based. Even the presence of Jurgen Prochnow and his sou'wester-clad sidekick Torgo could not redeem this movie. Poor Jurgen. I will think of Duke Leto, and block this travesty from my mind.

This movie makes Resident Evil look good.

You have been warned.

Did you get to the part in the middle where the whole group is trying to get into the weird house? They are fighting zombie after zombie and the whole scene just made me want to cry, it was that bad.

Not only did they spin the camera around the characters as a death scene (like in the game, I think), but weapons would get switched to other characters (who were no where near each other), zombies that were standing next to a character one minute would be gone the next...

It was like they filmed that fight scene and stopped it every 10 seconds, pulled the characters out, gave them different weapons, and then just had the zombies start from anywhere they wanted instead of their last place. It was horrible :)

But that's why I watched it...hehe.
