There isn't a thing of artistic value in this film.

George A Romero's original template has now worn pretty thin so you'll either love this repetitive gore-fest for its unpretentious dumbness or hate it for being nothing more than a shameless plug for the game.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 10, 2019

Five minutes into the picture and I felt my inner child weeping for the future of the industry.

| Original Score: 0/4 | May 14, 2017

House of the Dead is a very entertaining film, but only because it's made in a such inept and unprofessional way that it's almost impossible to believe that it was shown in cinemas. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 28, 2016

The novelty of seeing rampaging zombies get shot in the head wears off after 40 minutes or so.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 9, 2014

So willfully opposed to everything that decades of refinement have established as cinematic grammar that I am unable to decide if Boll is a genius or just evil.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Oct 29, 2010

This is the first live-action horror movie based on a video game that I've ever seen in which the game's animation is actually used as a repeated special effect. This is not a good thing.

Don't come looking for a story -- this is a hunt.

How do films like these get made for video, let alone the wide theatrical run?

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jan 6, 2007

This is one of those rare films that truly manages to get by on unintentional laughs, but otherwise dreadful.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

There is an extended sequence in which every individual character goes bullet-time, and [Uwe] Boll must think it's so cool just because they're in bullet-time.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Jul 1, 2005

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Exhibit A in the evidence that no more video games, under any conditions, should be made into movies.

| Original Score: F | Jun 20, 2005

One of the most astonishingly idiotic pieces of entertainment I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through.

| Original Score: F | May 4, 2005

It's so bad it could well go down in history as one of the worst zombie movies ever made.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 2, 2004

Resides amid half-remembered fragments of Cinemax soft-core, Turkish remakes of The Exorcist, and third-string Troma releases such as Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Mar 19, 2004

Sad to say that after its unpromising opening minutes, the film defies the odds by getting progressively worse.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Mar 3, 2004

Boll directs the film as indiscriminately as his characters fire their weapons.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 15, 2004

All the subtlety of a horny bull in a china shop and all the style of a street tramp.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 30, 2003

A derivative shock-horror exercise desperately in need of an IV.

| Oct 29, 2003

While not as technically brilliant as some zombie fare, HotD more than makes up for this lack in terms of sheer heart. Sure, it's a low-budget venture, but it doesn't feel forced or contrived, but rather revels in its low-budget restraints.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 26, 2003
