Review of House of the Dead 2 (2006) by John M — 24 Jun 2007
After the debacle that was the original movie, I had no hopes for this sequel, however, it really has nothing to do with the original and could have been released as a stand alone movie. veering more toward the 'resident evil' kind of zombie movies, the gang have to face zombies and inevitably each other.
Surprisingly gory in places and quite funny, the films story rolls along nicely and has great production values for a cheaply made movie. but still it's no where near as good as Romero's classics or other films from the genre.
The performances are average, ranging from the sadistic, scared, to the hard as nails female. all the cast are typecast, but it's great to see Sid Haig in it (if it is only for about three minutes.
If you like violence, zombies in NFL kit and pointless nudity, then you could do far worse.
