I rented this movie cause I loved another one of Uwe Boll's movies, BloodRayne. Since it's rating was also low, I thought that people were voting 1 or 2 because they hate the director, not cause the movie is bad. But I guess BloodRayne is the exception cause this movie is very, very bad. And I don't mean bad as in "it's so bad, that it's actually good". I mean it's just bad, nothing good about it.

Let's start from the beginning, who in the world would pay a thousand bucks to attend some party on an island? I know Simon's character was dumb, but that's too much. Then the fisherman told them that they call it Isle del Muertos. I'm no expert in Spanish but I'm pretty sure that means Island of the Dead, but the movie is called House of the Dead, right? When they arrive on the island, they see that everything was upside down. Do they leave? No. Like a bunch of idiots, they stay there for no reason whatsoever. Then, three of these kids go looking for the party while two of them stay at the party site. These three find a house with another three people there. Then they go look for their other two friends. After a couple of deaths, some unnecessary conversations and the discovery that zombies spit out acid, they find the fisherman. Co-incidentally, he has a box full of guns. The stupid kids take them and head back for the house. All of a sudden, they become professionals with these weapons. No one misses any shots and their fighting ability was awesome considering that they were boozed teenagers looking for a party. That scene takes forever and becomes one of the most boring parts of the movie.

The house looked like a single, small room from the outside, but weirdly, when they went in, it was actually a palace with lots of rooms and a lot of floors in it. Over there they found a lab. In it, there was a box of zombie blood. When the blood touched the zombies, they woke up immediately. If that's not stupid, I don't know what is. After that, they went underground and there they found the mastermind that created the zombies, who, although being a zombie like the others, could talk and acted like a normal human (you'll never get to know how in the world he managed to create zombies though).

They manage to kill him. It was the dumbest death in all the movie. I mean, how can you crush someones skull by simply stepping on it? When he dies, no zombies were to be seen, even though, before, there was a huge amount of them, roaming the island. The movie ends there. Zombies were magically gone just because their creator died and then, the rescue team comes and saves the remaining kids.

That's the story. It's kind of a Wrong Turn/Resident Evil plot but about 50 times worse than them. To make it even worse, there is some footage from the game every 5 minutes or so. Pretty darn stupid, isn't it?

Just, stay away from this movie. If you rent it, you'll find yourself in the position like these teens were in; you'll wish you can get out alive (or at the very least, awake)

So, let's start with the story. It's simply an excuse for us to see Michael kill people. I mean, what was that all about? A cop guy having his larynx crushed and mistaken for Michael? I mean, he didn't even try to remove his mask or something. It sounded more of a joke rather than a serious story. Plus, how could they kill Laurie in the first 10 minutes? (which was the best part of the whole movie) Story rating - 0/3

Let's turn to the acting. Well, there isn't much to say. It's simply BAD! Busta was a complete joke. He was reading rather than acting and couldn't even say two lines with the word mother****er. And the heroine was a stupid, obedient girl who's afraid of her own reflection - 0/3

Not a single death was original. That guy having his head crushed was so Jason-y. And how can a knife like Michael's cut through someones head with just a swing? If it was Jasons knife, maybe. But Michael's knife is simply a big kitchen knife. The only scene which I liked was when the Julianne Moore clone got pushed on that spike. I think that was one of the deaths I never saw before. - 1/4

So, STAY AWAY from this movie. Especially if you've seen all the Halloween sequels (excluding 4-6). It turns Michael Myers' movies into teen slasher movies. Trust me, DON'T rent it!!

This may not be a great movie, but I firmly believe that it shouldn't be in the bottom 100. Some people are just giving it a 1 because of the director.

I agree that Uwe Boll is a horrible director, but you cannot judge a movie just cause he directed it. I watched 'House Of The Dead' and, yes, it was awful. That movie deserves to be number 1 in the bottom 100. 'Alone in the Dark' wasn't so good either. But this is the best Uwe Boll movie when compared to them. You just hate it because of the director. If the movie was exactly the same, and the director name was different, the rating would be much higher than it is now, cause there's a difference between; not liking a movie, and not wanting to like a movie.

The one's who hate this movie, all have the same excuses which don't make sense if you think about it:

One of them is when the say that the blood and violence was fake and stupid. Now that is no excuse why a movie should deserve a 1. Kill Bill Vol. 1 one had the same type of fake violence (if not worse), but no one says that they hate it because of that.

Some also say that they hate it because of the bad acting. Now, the acting wasn't so great, but it's also no reason why you should give a movie a 1. The two bad actors where Michelle and Ben. Besides those, Matt, Michael, Billy and Kristanna gave a good performance in my opinion. Plus, every movie has its bad and good actors. If everyone rated Underworld Evolution by the acting, it would definitely be in the bottom 100

Another one is when they say that Uwe Boll is a bad director. Now, not that I don't agree with it, but even a bad director can come up with something good sometimes. Maybe, Uwe Boll realized that his previous two movies sucked, and tried harder this time.

They also say that they hate is because the story makes no sense. So, here's the story if you didn't understand it:

**SPOILERS BELOW**

A dhampir (a half-human vampire) called Rayne, watched her human mother get raped and killed by her vampire father, who was some kind of vampire leader. She escapes from the circus that she was kept prisoner in, and passed through a lot of near-death experiences to get to him. Meanwhile, three vampire hunters help Rayne in her journey since her father was a leader of their opponents, and killing him had been one of their goals for a long time. In the end, everyone dies except for Rayne. Pretty simple huh? Underworld Evolution has the approximately the same story, but somehow, the rating is much higher. That should tell you that people are just voting one because it's made by Uwe Boll, not because of the actual movie.

So, only rent it if you try to like it, not if you stay thinking about the awfulness of Uwe's previous movies. This was the first movie I saw from Uwe Boll, so my judgment is purely on the movie, since I had never seen anything from the same director before. I watched the other 2 later, which, unlike BloodRayne, turned out to be a complete disaster. I give it a 10 not because it's some sort of masterpiece, cause it isn't. It's because it's a very good upgrade from Uwe Boll, and it's extremely entertaining along the way.

I really liked this movie. First, Chucky got his wife, now he's got his son/daughter (take your pick). I loved the whole family thing; the stubborn husband, the self-obsessed wife and the gender-confused kid. However movie follows the exact same story as Bride of Chucky; they want to transfer their bodies into humans. Not so great but it won't end the way you think. Story rating - 2/4

Acting was very good. Jennifer Tilly was just awesome. Hannah and Redman were great too. So were the actors with small parts like Pyschs (sp?), the paparazzi or Jennifer's driver. Acting rating - 3/3

Deaths were the best part of the movie. My personal favorite was Redman's since you won't feel sorry for him at all. They're all extremely violent and gory. Plus, there are some parts that will have you jump from your seats. Death rating - 3/3

Watch this movie, whatever you do. Even if you haven't seen any of the other Child's Play movies, you'll still enjoy it - 8/10
