Did no one go see House of the Dead?

[Kai Lord]

With all the enthusiasm on the Kill Bill threads its obvious most ENWorlders like crappy genre films , so where's all the talk about HotD?

Come on now, someone post me a play by play of this train wreck of a movie. I enjoyed the synopsis of Cabin Fever. Anyone actually pay to see this one? jdavis?

Isn't it based on the big 'ol first-person arcade shooter?

 

[Kai Lord]

Yep. Not to be confused with Casa de la Babies, also currently in theatrical rotation.

I must say...from the previews it looks cheesy. "You got Matrix in my zombie-butter!!" I prefer my zombie-flick protagonists to be vulnerable, normal, flawed humans...or Milla Jovovich.

Not Neo vs. the nasty tongue-licking zombies that don;t even look dead.

A girl I work with saw it the other day and said that randomly throughout the movie they cut to screen shots of someone playing the video game. I'm curious as to what the deal is with that.

From what I've seen based on the previews and reports of the script... eh. It's based on the game in name only.

I'd say that's why most people here haven't seen it yet.

I say you've seen one zombie fest movie, you've seen them all. Even if they kill the zombies.

Here's a pretty good review:

I saw another review which I can't find now which began, "I watched this film so you wouldn't have to." Kind of sums up all the reviews right there.

It's a thread from one of the other MB's I frequent.
It sounds utterly terrible.

Hey Kai Lord!
I saw this "movie" Saturday and am sorry I did.

I didn't realize that it was based on a game (not necessarily a bad thing normally) but the movie is shot through with screen flashes from the game. (I soon remembered playing it before, it has just been a looong time since, and not very often then, again beside the point.)
The screen flashes really take away from the movie as they break the continuity a lot and it was bad.
Actually that should be "Bad" or even "Bad"

It was Not a zombie movie that was bad enough to be good in a schlock horror kind of way, or so bad that you Had to laugh at it. It Was bad in a way that said they director must not want to ever work again! (And IMHO Should Never work again.)



meh...

Really, read this review and it mirrors my own feelings of this movie

Some people in the boards linked to that review have read the review and thought for some reason that maybe they would see it because they thought it would maybe be laughably bad, if they do see it though they will be sorry....trust me!
It's Not bad in the "good way" it's just Bad....




Although...Ona Grauer ...mmmmmmm

ok thats my .02 and I hope it saves a few of you @$6.00!
peace!
