House of the Dead

The year's latest dumb, derivative horror flick, House of the Dead, earns nothing but scorn from Bob Smithouser (Plugged In). Smithouser writes, "It's hard to know which is worse in House of the Dead, the cartoonish dialogue, the actors saddled with it … or the cheesy makeup and special effects. [The filmmakers] know what the target audience for a low-budget zombie horror film wants: Sex, alcohol and mindless violence. And they give it to them."
