House of the Dead (film)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.



These things about House of the Dead (film) are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • Special Effects Failure: Some shots of the protagonists shooting at zombies in the first film were from the original game, with an "Insert Coin" message blinking on the screen!
  • They Just Didn't Care: Nowhere does it become more apparent than in the "Funny Version" of the first film, where we see endless scenes of everyone involved in the production screwing around.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Castillo was scary, unique, and looked pretty cool; he could have been a great villain had he been put in a decent movie.
  • Video Game Movies Suck: First film has the dishonor of being the first game series Uwe Boll got to butcher.
    • With a plot involving teenagers going to a rave, in-game footage used as part of the movie, and only a brief cameo of the games' characters at the end, let's just say that movie never existed. Though, it's just bad enough to be great riff material.
  • What an Idiot!: The second film, despite being slightly better, isn't without its faults. Who keeps something important, like, say, a vital cure sample, on the back of their belt? Where it can easily get ripped off?
    • Better one. Why only take one sample in the first place? Especially since the place is going to get bombed soon enough.
