Critics Consensus

A grungy, disjointed, mostly brainless mess of a film, House of the Dead is nonetheless loaded with unintentional laughs.

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

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

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.

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

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]
