grrgoylI am such a sucker for anything that includes the keyword "zombies" in the description. That coupled with a fever of 100+ for 2 days is how I ended up on House of the Dead on Showtime.
Even in my brain-cooked delirium I could tell this movie is complete crap. Zombies that can run, but are defeated by a gunshot to any part of their bodies: crap. Actual video game screenshots (I kid you not) inserted into the fight scenes: crap. Ethan Hawke and Lucy Liu body doubles: crap. Blatant Matrix-like camera angles and slo-mo shoot-em-ups set to banal techno soundtrack: crap, crap and crap. And shame on you, Jurgen Prochnow. I expected so much better after Das Boot and Dune. Guess those bills aren't paying themselves.
Fortunately Tery came home and saved me from watching any further. Oh, the pain, the pain....
