- 50VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyWhether this is a good or bad thing depends on just how much 14-year-old boy you've got in ya.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThere's scarcely a whiff of originality in the zombie horror picture House of the Dead, but Uwe Boll has directed it with enough energy and style that it adds up to passably mindless if grisly fun.
- 38New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanDirector Uwe Boll wholeheartedly embraces the film's concept, and with some fancy editing and a pulsing soundtrack, the effect really is like watching a video game.
- 25The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceySomewhere between cartoonishly bad for comic effect and bad because the filmmakers didn't really give a damn, The House of the Dead is, at least, unpretentiously dumb.
- 25Boston GlobeTy BurrBoston GlobeTy BurrHouse of the Dead, sadly, is so bad it's bad.
- 20The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe A.V. ClubKeith PhippsMuch poorly choreographed gunplay, many lovingly rendered head explosions, and some half-assed exposition about centuries-old, immortality-seeking pirates follow, with nothing to recommend House Of The Dead to anyone but the most undiscriminating zombie-movie fans.
- 20Film ThreatDavid GroveFilm ThreatDavid GroveHere’s a would-be horror film that contains not one ounce of professional pride in its making, not one shred of technical competence. This is one of the worst films of recent times.
- 20The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterLaughable performances.
- 0New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickBased on a video game, far exceeds expectations -- in negative ways that inspire thoughts of less than zero stars.
