Ever wondered what could possibly make someone love the 2003 movie adaptation of the Sega classic video game, House of the Dead? What if we told you we've cracked the code? Buckle up as we comically dissect this horror film, taking it apart scene by scene. From its poor pacing, to the peculiar directorial style choices, we expose it all. We even spill the beans on the cast, most of whom have since made their grand exit from the film industry.
We wouldn't be doing justice to the review if we didn't mention the best lines of the movie. Or the odd use of intercuts with the video games. And who could forget the swimming zombies? We've got loads to say about the movie's action scenes and some of the comic elements that had us in stitches. Our discussion takes a deep dive into the movie's plot, touching on Alicia's fencing skills, Rudy's axe-wielding, and the dramatic helicopter scene at the end. Also, we scratch our heads over the lack of awareness when the characters decide to split up, the movie's questionable dialogue, and much more.
If you didn't think it could get more interesting, we wrap up the episode by looking at the movie from a distance, pondering on its over-lit sets and bad set design. So, whether you're a fan of the game or a lover of horror films, come join us on this hilariously enlightening journey into the House of the Dead. You won't look at the movie the same way ever again!
