Oops. I made a CRAPTACULAR mistake. House Of The Dead
I fess up. I rented “House Of The Dead” (certainly without doing any research).
Every review I’ve read since I watched the movie has been overwhemingly negative (and for good reason).
I am not writing a review, but rather recommending you watch this piece of garbage … if for no other reason than to give you a feel for what crappy filmaking is really like. I didn’t even know it was based on a video game that I like to play (very loosely “based”). The story line is ridiculous and full of holes. Here’s what sucks about it:
1. Rave on an island. Supposed to be a huge rave. Maybe 20 people were there.
2. Rented a boat to get to island where they’d join friends. Paid $1000 cash for round trip, instead of returning with their friends.
3. Lots of 360 degree panning (ala Matix) around EACH of the characters while they shot at zombies.
4. Zombies that would almost just hang out waiting for their turn to get shot.
On the plus side … boobies and the brother of Ron Howard (in sailor gear).
Get this piece of cinematic history today.
compare itself to 
(but don’t they all). The “comedy/horror” classification is a bit played out as well … when I see that classification now, I read it to mean that the movie tries to be funny and scary, but most likely it is more like the 80′s Schlocky Horror genre (which I do like).
