a5c7b9f00b A group of college students travel to a mysterious island to attend a rave, which is soon taken over by bloodthirsty zombies. This film is a prequel to all of the The House of the Dead video games. Set on an island off the coast, a techno rave party attracts a diverse group of college coeds and a Coast Guard officer. Soon, they discover that their X-laced escapades are to be interrupted by zombies and monsters that attack them on the ground, from the air, and in the sea, ruled by an evil entity in the House of the Dead… I had no idea this was based on a video game until I started watching it. So I guess I'm not included in the video game fan category for this movie.<br/><br/>I'm not one to give away any of the plot, and basically you don't need to know about the plot to see a zombie flick, but the zombies in this movie are not generic randomly raised zombies. There's a possibility that some of these zombies are 400-500 years old.<br/><br/>The zombies in this movie do not need to be shot in the head to be killed. Unlike older traditional zombie flicks, these zombies move quick (like in 28 Days later) but are quite a bit more methodical. As well they can use melee weapons. Certainly some of the most vicious zombies around.<br/><br/>Ona Grauer was overwhelmingly sexy throughout the film. Jürgen Prochnow is excellent in his role. Ellie Cornell didn't seem comfortable in her role, but it doesn't take away from the movie and she did well in the action scenes. Clint Howard played his part well, and while the character was somewhat useful in the plot (certainly the whistling scenes were good additions), the character was mostly annoying (likely a writer/director flaw, not the actor's). The others were all quite adequate and each had something good to add to the flick. They should all be able to get more work easily.<br/><br/>It's no blockbuster but is certainly an entertaining zombie flick. A bunch of nobodies become excellent zombie destroyers. It has some really nifty clips that circle the characters which was very well done (and hopefully not overly copied into other movies like the Matrix effect).<br/><br/>The action clips were far more realistic than most modern action movies. Slow motion dodges by the martial artist actually followed the rules of physics and weren't done with any big special effects (No running up trees here or ridiculous bending over backwards so your head can tap the floor and back up). The stop action and slow-motion was very well placed and not overused.<br/><br/>There are numerous video game clips in the movie which sorely take away from the movie and were a really bad idea. As well the narration isn't spoken clearly. Oh,and don't count the bullets fired - they won't add up.<br/><br/>Certainly this movie has more energy and flow then most zombie movies. It doesn't have much creepiness though. This is more of a fun zombie action movie than a horror flick.Think of it as the first Resident Evil without the slower spots. This is pretty non-stop action.<br/><br/>From a mainstream movie point of view, there will be some silly aspects to this movie, but from a B-Movie-Zombie-flick point of view, it should be in any zombie collection.<br/><br/>The actual premise and deeper plot of the movie has quite a bit of potential. Certainly more could have been made with the plot, but it was fun nevertheless.<br/><br/>I'll buy it. Considering this movie is based directly on a game, this does make it a lot harder for the director and crew to write out the script to suit the game form and to please the gamer fans! I had not played the game before, though was amazed that director Uwe Boll used original game play footage of first HOTD game to go with the movie and do believe in some of the scenes they actually did work well! For example a scene when three humans are making an escape in an underground tunnel from the zombies, the use of a first person shooter, shooting zombies then straight away jumping to game form of that same moment, I believe did actually work very well for the scene.<br/><br/>I give the film a 5/10 and unlike the other reviews I have read of people completely panning the movie. To be honest I did enjoy the movie's use of action scenes, humor and cheesy acting. I do believe maybe the movie could of been better if it was a bit more creepier and shocking in some parts. I did actually jump at one part when some small demon - skull swimming in a mist of red liquid emerged to the screen LOL.<br/><br/>Come on seriously, how could you not enjoy that full on 7 minute fight scene in the middle of the movie?! Those spinning 360 degrees cameras around the actors are no longer used in films today! Please just don't look upon the movie and think "Now that didn't go like that in the game!" cos believe me, a director does try their hardest to please the fans and I know must be one of the difficultest things to place on screen, including book - movie adaption, and adding new things in the movie which wasn't in the game I believe isn't a so bad idea other wise is too predictable if you already played the game.<br/><br/>Anyway I do think anyone could enjoy the full on action and gore the movie has to offer and not just hate the movie of not being exactly true to the game, and of course all zombie films usually have a cheesy b movie story: in this case early 20 year olds being trapped on an island with of course zombies, as they must try and reach the House of the Dead… There's scarcely a whiff of originality in the zombie horror picture House of the Dead, but Uwe Boll has directed it with enough energy and style that it adds up to passably mindless if grisly fun. In 2003, House of the Dead, the first video game adaptation of Uwe Boll, who has gotten himself a certain reputation in this area, was released. The film is a mundane zombie flick with a shallow plot and a tendency to be trash. Five years later, Lions Gate has released a Director's Cut version of the film on DVD. The film was made into a comedy with new music, alternative scenes, outtakes and several overlay-commentaries - which is the reason for the subtitle "Funny Version" on the DVD's front cover. hindi Episode 1.212 free downloadEpisode 1.44 full movie hindi downloadThe Best Way to Die Hard in hindi 720pAre You Sure This Is Safe movie free download in hindiThe Wild Season in hindi movie downloadThe Monster TrucksEpisode 1.106 song free downloadthe On the Way to a Smile: Final Fantasy VII downloadThe Last Man full movie in hindi free download mp4Missing in Action download
