House of the Dead 2

I thought House Of the dead 2 Was the best zombie movie I've ever seen. I heard some one say it was the worst movie besides the House Of The Dead one. I think Mark Altman has done the best since Dawn of the Dead. I think Romero and Altman have completely made the zombie genre. I would love to get Mark Altman and George Romero's email addresses i could thank them for the best movies ever and who said it sucked can go climb a tree. Because i don't know what the repercussions for cursing are. That is why i didn't say the f-Bomb.Icant wait to see the third and final movie. I loved the Romero Movies and The House Of The Dead Movies. I give the first movie a 4 out of 10. And the second movie an 8 out of 10. I also would like to know the emails of Romero And Altman. That would really make me a happy camper. Just jokin' 'round. But seriously I do want them so any one who reads this and knows email me at Drjoemurphy@oal.com.

Its almost embarrassing to say I even saw this movie. I mean it doesn't take much to make a good zombie movie besides good special effects, lots of blood and gore, some scary moments and a decent plot. Does House of the Dead 2 do any of these things right? No, not one. Of course, its not as bad as its predecessor, from Uwe Bowle and thats the only thing about this movie that scares me. The dialog in this movie is notorious, with such lines as "What do you do for a living?" in response "I kill zombies" and "I was never a disk jockey, I was a soldier." The special effects are embarrassing even for a made for TV movie, I mean seriously, the zombies all look like they have bloody lips are hyped up on crack. The army base in this movie, is a parking garage, with a desk and a open gated room. This movie is so low budget that they couldn't even get co-ed locker rooms. In fact it seems like this entire movie was filmed in a middle school. Also, why is it that the all the female soldiers in this movie are models? And for that matter why is everyone in this movie so clueless at to what is going on that they simply just stand around letting the zombies kill them. Heck one guy even trys to give food to the zombie. Overall, this movie makes even the worst of Scifi Channel movies looks fantastic.

First of all,I didn't see the first film cuz I saw a review of it and it looks completely awful.I saw the sequel and man I was very surprised:I liked it.Tons of action with no BS like slow mo,shaky cam,or jump cuts(Yes I'm looking at u Taken 2).I liked the two leads Ed Quinn and the always gorgeous Emmanuelle Vaugier.They kicked a$$ and they were likable.It does have some problems:Some characters are disposable and there are some stupid moments(no spoilers here).Anyway,its not as bad as some people say and it should've been in theatres unlike the first one.A $6 million production?The money is on the screen.It looks a lot better than a lot of films with 10 times that budget.It was entertaining!

Without question, HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: DEAD AIM is one of, if not the most unwanted sequels of all time. The original HOUSE OF THE DEAD was universally panned by both critics and audiences, and is widely considered one of the worst horror flicks ever made by genre fans. So why a sequel? My guess is that the filmmakers figured since the first one was so hated, this time they could do a House of the Dead movie the right way in an effort to redeem themselves. If indeed that was their intent, they succeeded. HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: DEAD AIM is everything the original wasn't: scary, decently acted, and well directed. Director Michael Hurst was clearly the right man for the job. Some may argue that the action scenes were directed too straight, but I am actually thankful they were considering that almost every action sequence in action pictures these days are severely over edited and overly stylized. While the directing was admirable, the screenplay wasn't as good. There's lots of funny dialog and a considerable amount of character development for this type of movie, but towards the end, the story gets bogged down in clichés and characters start saying such obvious statements as "this is not good." My only other complaint with 'DEAD AIM' is for the first 85 minutes or so the pacing is perfect yet for the remaining ten minutes, it refuses to end. It just drags on, taking its sweet time to get to the end credits sequence. So it may not be perfect, but HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: DEAD AIM is nonetheless great entertainment that should satisfy video gamers and horror fans, especially if they have low expectations after seeing the original. My rating: 7/10.

For it being a low budget movie and a "sequel" to House of the Dead, it was actually an okay movie. Sure, a lot of the acting was bad, but all movies have bad acting, even the huge budget Hollywood movies. I didn't really see any relation to the game except for people shooting zombies but it was still entertaining. The only thing that really annoyed he hell out of me was the background music. It just didn't seem to go with the theme or the mood of the movie in my opinion. I highly doubt this movie was made to be a money maker, but I think it will become a lesser known b-movie favorite. It was much better than the more recent Sci-Fi channel zombie movies, Return of the Living Dead 4 & 5. I say give it a chance if you have nothing to do or if nothing else is on.

I haven't had a chance to view the previous film, but from what I've read on other posts it was supposedly worse than this one, although I doubt that is possible. I'm a huge fan of the "Zombie" genre, and I am fascinated by the psychological aspects of viewing creatures, that for all intents and purposes are human, as an atrocity that is only worth shooting in the head. That said, HOTD 2 takes the "Zombie" movie to an all new low. Without giving any big spoilers (which I really should do just so you won't bother wasting your time actually watching this movie) I would like to express my utter contempt for the way the writers of this film portray our countries Special Forces. Gomer Pile could have probably survived longer than the "Spec Ops" soldiers in this film. For crying out loud they should have called them the Special Education Forces instead. If you are going to write a script where you send in an elite team to deal with an outbreak of zombies, at least have the soldiers be smarter than the walking corpses. I understand that you have to kill off some or most of the team, but you can find better ways to do it than having them set down their machine guns and walk over to lay a tender hand on the shoulder of the drooling crazy person rocking back and forth in the corner of the dark creepy basement. The writers actually try to take the whole zombie thing to a more high-tech level by making it a virus that they are searching for a vaccine for, and the idea has merit, if it wasn't stuck in the middle of such a ridiculous display of wayward film making. I mean come on, zombie films aren't exactly "high art", and the viewer expects some tongue-in-cheek cheesiness along with the gore and thrills, but HOTD 2 is the type of cheese that makes you turn the channel in disgust and awe of the sheer stupidity of the characters. If you are a zombie movie fan like me, please do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.

I haven't seen the first movie cause people said it was awful and apparently there's no great connection between them. This movie looked cool and I like Emmanuelle Vaugier, so I thought I'd give it a try. Before watching it, I searched it here on IMDb and got pretty discouraged with its low rating and bad reviews. Since I had already rented it, I decided to watch it anyway. I was surprised. I really liked it. It's like Dawn of the Dead (the remake) and Resident Evil: Apocalypse together. I don't know why people say it's very bad. It's an awesome movie, when you think about the low budget that it had and the fact that it was straight to TV. It also has those parts when it gets a bit sad and it has some funny quotes too (don't know why they're not listed on IMDb) Rent it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Just forget about the first one if you saw it, and think of it as another movie, not as a sequel.
