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.

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

Empire Magazine

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

Rated: 2/5

Radio Times

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.

Rated: 2/5

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]

La película que llevo a la fama a Uwe Boll cuando era tan solo un desconocido, esta es su más grande obra maestra. Una película bastante simple que se siente como una cinta de serie B. Personajes clichés de turno, errores que a veces pasan desapercibidos, unos efectos prácticos bastante buenos y escenas de acción que hacen la cinta al menos entretenida. La diferencia entre esta película y el juego es bastante notoria, aunque trato de ser una precuela del videojuego. Aun así, Uwe se las ingenio para crear algo totalmente repudiable para los fans del juego, pero que al final es una entretenida película que merece ser considerada de culto, ya que el objetivo de Uwe era crear una película así. Tuvo éxito en ello por más que sea una mala adaptación. House Of The Dead resalta bastante entre muchas adaptaciones fallidas y eso la convierte en una película interesante y disfrutable. Mi calificación para esta película es un 7/10.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
