okay and so i be not a big video game buff and but be the game house of the dead really famous enough to make a movie from . sure and they go as far a to actually put in quick video game clip throughout the movie and a though justify any particular scene of violence and but there be dozen and dozen of game that look exactly the same and with the hand in the bottom on the screen and supposedly your own and hold whatever weapon and goo ing all kind of alien or walk dead or sniper or whatever the case may be . it an interesting premise in house of the dead and with a lot of college kid ( load college kid and a it be and kid who be able to pay some fisherman something like $ 1 and 500 just for a ride after they miss their boat ) try to get out to this island for what be suppose to be the rave of the year . the first thing that come to mind about house of the dead after watch it be that it have become increasingly clear that modern horror movie have become nothing more than an exercise in come up with creative way to get a lot of scantily clad teenager into exactly the same situation . at least in this case and the fact that they be on their way to a rave excuse the way the girl be dress . they look badly out of place run around the wood in cute little halter top and but at least they think they be dress for the occasion . clint howard and tellingly the most interesting character in the film by far and delivers an absolutely awful performance and the greatness of which overshadow every other actor in the movie . i can not stand it when well know actor change their accent in movie and it be so rarely effective and and howard here show that it be equally flat to have an well know actor pretend that he this harden fisherman with a raspy voice from year of breathe salty air . he do not even rasp well . it sound like he be eat a cinnamon roll before shoot and accidentally inhale some powdered sugar or something . real tough there and clint . i expect more from him and but then again and he do agree to a part in this mess . once we get to the island and the movie temporarily turn into any one of the friday the 13th movie that take place at camp crystal lake . lot of teenager play by actor who be way too old for their part get naked and then kill . the nudity be impressive and i guess and but let consider something for a minute . these kid pay almost two grand to get out to this island to go to the rave of the year and find no one and and say and well and who want a beer . even the guy who pull that stack of hundred out of his wallet to get them all over there do not think anything of it that they find a full bar and not a single solitary person in sight . here you have the input from director uwe boll there alcohol . they would not notice that the party they come for consists of no one but themselves . so not only do they start drinking and not mind the fact that the whole party seem to have vacate the island and but when one of the girl go off into the dark wood to find out where everyone be ( drag one other girl and one of the guy reluctantly along ) and the guy and the girl who stay behind to get smashed decide that it would be a great idea to strip down for a quickie now that theyre alone . it like they expect to find the island empty and and now that they rest of the people that they come over with be go for a little while and they would have some privacy since there no one else around . brilliant . now for the thing that everyone hat and judging by the review that i have read about the movie . yes and intersplicing shot from the video game into the movie and mostly in order to show that and yes and the movie be be faithful to or directly copy the video game . sure and it be a stupid idea . i can not imagine who think up that little nugget and but bad than that be the matrix style bullet time scene that be throw in over and over and over and over . after the first time ( at which point i find it pretentious and cheesy for a movie like this to have a shot like that a though it be something original ) it be noticeable more for the technique of the shot itself rather than any dramatic meaning or creation of any kind of tension for the film . one of the thing that make a zombie film scary and get you on the edge of your seat be to have them slowly but relentlessly come after the living human and who be much faster but get tired and run out of place to run and and with a terrifying shortage of thing with which to fight the zombie off with . the first two be do right in the movie and the kid be terrify and do not have a lot of place to run since theyre on an island and but since they catch a ride over with a smuggler and they find themselves heavily arm . and i mean that very strongly . i mean and these people have everything from machine gun to hand grenade and which remove most of the tension of the impending walking dead . then you have what i call the techno slasher scene . since the rave never happen and and i guess since uwe boll think people be go to be disappoint at not hear any techno music in the movie and there one scene right in the middle where all the human be fight off the living dead and and amazingly enough it turn into something of a music video . there techno music blasting a the shot be edit together faster and faster until it nothing but a blur of gory shot and mostly only about 5 frame long ( which be about 1/6 of a second ) flash across the screen in time with the speed techno music . clever and i guess and but it have no place in a horror movie because it completely remove any sense of scariness or tension of even the gross out effect because you can not see any one thing for long enough to react to it . youre just watch these shot fly across the screen and wonder what the hell the director be think when he decide that it would be a good idea to put something like this in the movie . i have see a lot of people compare this movie to resident evil and mostly claim that it copy the premise of it and and theyre exactly right . i appreciate that at least here and as be not the case in resident evil and it wasn not some man make virus that turn people into walk dead that be able to infect other people and change them the way vampires turn others into vampire . 28 day later be also clearly an inspiration for this movie and it just too bad that house of the dead do not do a single original thing and except for the somewhat moronic idea of put in quick shot of the video game on which it be base and just in case you forget . i really think that this should have be a much good movie . while obviously i can not say that i know much about the game it base on and just the title and the movie poster deserve a much good movie and but unfortunately i think that more often the case than not with horror movie . it really kind of sad when a movie come out that be so obviously advertise a a no hold bar horror film and and the scary thing in the entire movie be the closing shot and which suggest the possibility of a sequel .
