Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
jessegehrig The film makers seemed unclear on the subject of human sexuality, also the film makers seemed unclear on the subject of how to make a good movie. It's actually a long list of what the film makers of House Of The Dead 2 seemed unclear on, let's get right to it : what things mean, what makes for a good movie vs. what makes for this movie, that acting might be a form of art, that directing a movie might be a form of art, that writing a screenplay might just be a form of art, what comedy is vs. what comedy isn't, what metaphors are...Its a much much longer list, those are just the first few points. Sometimes a movie is made because evil rules the world, House Of The Dead 2.
GL84 After a viral outbreak at a college, a team of commandos escorts a recovery team through the zombie-infected campus to recover a potential cure for the zombie outbreak only to force themselves into a deadly struggle to come out alive.Overall this one was quite a decent and enjoyable zombie effort. One of the biggest points with this one is the rather impressive amount of general zombie action within this one that comes with all sorts of different encounter styles within here. The action of the opening quick- shots showing the zombie virus raging across the campus, the ensuing fraternity raid on the sorority that stumbles onto the zombie virus as well as the outbreak at the restaurant all mange to come off as rather fun quick ambushes that are highly enjoyable while setting up the larger scenes in here. The film's at its best when dealing with the more- involved action scenes here which are quite exciting as the great encounter on the highway leading into the school at the very beginning show out-of-their-elements they are, the attempts to take over the school show off the incredibly fun times of the zombie encounters in the dorm rooms, the library and especially in the basement tunnels against the electrified fences and endless hordes of creatures coming through the rankings of their defenses which is exciting, action-packed scenes that make it really fun and genuinely enjoyable. Far more fun here is the film's last hour as there's even more encounters, some fun action and the best scenes here in the locker room and the battle in the lab which all feature into here for its better scenes, and along with the rather bloody zombie action and make-up, all make for its positives to overcome its few flaws. The biggest issue here is the fact that there's some incredibly flimsy plot attempts to connect this with the original as all this does to connect the two is a lame insert scene of an obscurely-filmed interrogation scene where they mention the exact virus from the that one as the only cue to clue us in on the purpose for the scene. As this one never once makes mention of the virus being studied there, a move colossally stupid if that was true, nor allows the zombies any kind of behavior connection, there's very little reason here for the film's lackluster attempts to sell the story. The other real flaw here is the film's last half-hour of there being no purpose to return to the school as these could've been added on to the first escape so there's little point in going through the motions all over again. These here are the film's flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a short sex scene.
madden-wayne I used to work in a video store. I saw this title in the horror section and took it home as a free rental one night.This movie was truly awful, there is no redeeming quality about it, because it actually takes a well respected sub genre of film and just goes about destroying it. If the first film wasn't low budget enough then this film truly takes the biscuit, being housed (mostly) indoors and at night...therefore avoiding the scenic cost setting of the first film In the first 5 minutes of this film a college lecturer comically runs over an attractive student. Rather than be mortified, the lecturer half heartedly apologises and the girl mentions that despite being thrown across the cars bonnet (he sped up as he approached her) that there is nothing to worry about...after which he attacks her with a crowbar and kills her! If this isn't strange enough, he wants to perform an experiment upon her, bringing her back from the dead....and so feels the need to remove her clothing to do so.Soft core female nudity (and pubic hair) is rampant throughout the film and is, to be honest,the only real thing to hold the average male viewers interest...like the swimming scene in the first film...but even having said that this film goes from bad to worse with its bad character acting, crappy dialogue and absurd plot turns....why introduce a pivotal character who has survived 29 days from zombie attack only to kill them within 10 minutes....its just a very very bad film
Clive McGraw I'm pretty surprised by the extremely low score this has here on IMDb. I remember when I tried to watch the first 'House of the Dead' and stopped it halfway through because it was just too damn awful. So a while ago when this first came out on DVD someone had told me that it was a lot better then the first one, I didn't get around to watching it until just then...on late night cable.The movie is pretty much tongue in cheek it doesn't take itself too seriously. Take for example the library scene. Because of this, all the plot holes, the illogical happenings throughout the movie can be forgiven, as it is purely light entertainment.The archetypal military characters, were done well and fitted the feel of this kind of zombie film. The chauvinistic bald lieutenant had a great performance (which separates it from most cheesy horrors), especially his rant at the end. The banter back and forwards especially the moments concerning the bald chauvinist, could've been taken from a film that would've been taken much more seriously by the general film going public.The hardcore dancing/Circle Pitting zombies will also make any metal head/hardcore fan laugh, at least a little.Again, because it was tongue in cheek and didn't take it self seriously. 7/10(reviewed after first viewing)
