Whenever I hear someone slam a movie, I make it a point to see it just to spite them and see if I like it or not. Well, I saw this movie for myself on On Demand a few weeks ago...and I have to say that the haters of this movie were beyond right about this crappy flick! I tell you something right now, the idea of the plot was horrible...it could have been cool as far as the blood is what resurrects the zombies and everything...but eh it was just completely wasted on crappy acting, a horrible plot, terrible delivery, and a rather crappy game in the long run anyway.
The bottom line is this, I tried to give this movie a chance but...words cannot begin to describe how I felt watching this movie. The one scene that could ALMOST be considered cool if you had never seen another good movie before in your life, was when the survivors were fighting their way back to the house, and as they fought, the 'House Of The Dead' song was playing, and each character got to have video game style profile shots while they were fighting the zombies. That could have been kind of cool...but...no. Nothing could save that movie.
Luckily it didn't ruin Dawn of the Dead being made.
1 out of 10. Don't even rent this on video. While you're at it, kick any House of the Dead video game you see at the arcade just on principle.
