It's really a testament to how low standards were around the mid 2000s when almost all of these Boll game adaptations were released in theaters at one point...
"You did it so you could live forever. Why?" "To live forever." Wow... What a well-thought-out thing to happen! That scene makes more sense than it needs to.
anik monette I believe it's a south park reference. There was an episode where they thought boy's had periods, till God told them that they don't and the boys that did had a virus.
You might be happy to know that Boll is officially retiring from film making. In his words at least, but for now lets enjoy the possibility that he is leaving the business. Hopefully for good.
Fun fact: there aren’t technically any actual zombies in the House of the Dead games; they’re genetically-mutated “Creatures”. Zombies don’t appear outside of a non-canon spinoff game called Zombie Revenge. So this movie didn’t even get that right!
But i still call them zombies .. and ya if your definition of zombie has " coming back from the death " factor necessary then there are actually some monsters in the game which are zombies.. for example , Sophie becomes zombie in bad ending of the house of the dead game after getting killed by Chariot which clearly means she came back from the death . In the house of the dead 3 , there is a reanimated corpse miniboss named Yukio , who was killed by " zombies " or biologically engineered monsters or whatever before turning into one . So ya Yukio and Sophie are zombies since they are reanimated corpses . And the mutants in the house of the dead overkill game are actually zombies ... This is clear when in first level of the game , mutants are seen coming out of graveyard and in hospital mission of the game ( called " blastic trauma " or whatever ) , some mutants are seen coming out of morgue drawers which indicates they may be reanimated corpses . So ya even though not all monsters are technically " zombies " in the game given they are not reanimated corpses , but some monsters are zombies since they are reanimated corpses .
Also the developers refer to Cyril creature ( creature / zombie with two axes 🪓 🪓 ) in The house of the dead 1 game as " dead " in the tutorial ( if you have noticed that line " shoot the dead attacking you " ) , i don't know why but maybe he is a reanimated corpse .
They’re zombies. Wreck it Ralph confirmed it, the House Of The Dead 2 & 3 for Wii tutorial clip referred to them as zombies. The first and second game tutorials refer to them as “the dead”.
This is my favorite review you've done Phelous, thanks for re-uploading it to TH-cam even though some of the music has changed because of stupid copyright.
RIP Boll's filmmaking. We took you for granted, we had our fun, but we never imagined how deeply we'd feel the loss at your passing. The world is cold and empty without you.
There actually where Sega sponsored raves. Though they weren't on islands. Most Sega raves revolved around projections of their character Miku Miku singing popular J-Pop and American Pop songs.

You forgot that Uwe Bol is an idiot who doesn't let little things like facts, and logic, and sense stop him from putting out garbage films. Plus, y'know, finding someone who speaks Spanish that could correct him would be IMPOSSIBLE. I mean, it's only one of the 5 most spoken languages in the world according to the most up-to-date lists I've been able to find - and going by any lists I've been able to find from roughly when this would've been made, it still would've been in the top 10. And that'd require actual EFFORT. I wouldn't make such a big deal out of this if it was an isolated incident, but... it's Uwe fucking Bol. I don't think he knows what things like "quality checking" or "accurate representations" are.
FuugaNatsu He completely ignore the original game story he adapted too. For example Alone in the Dark is survival horror game, and actually Uwe Boll's writers already made script that faithful to the game. But Uwe Boll ditch them, because he want more shooting and sexy girls....
You deserve so much more views... When I first heard of you it was as Tobe Fair and I cringed hard, but there was a lot of good things said about you so I gave it a shot. And now I'm happy each time you upload!
OMG we rented this from Block Buster when i was 10, but i didn't recognize the film till you showed a clip of Liberty. I long forgot what this film was, & the only thing that stuck with me was: 🔴 there was a movie with a girl named Liberty, in a ridiculous outfit ⚪ there was a line where the other characters made fun of/questioned if that was her real name 🔵 & they were being killed (but i didn't recall by what)
Jürgen Prochnow you were in Das Boot and are really charismatic and have a cool accent! Why do you keep turning up in lousy movies? Seriously he is like German version of Malcolm McDowell.
Also, am I right in assuming that you changed the music in certain scenes on these videos so that way you wouldn't running to copyright issues on TH-cam?
moogleknight88 Yep. TH-cam comes down a lot harder on the music than Blip did so a lot of music bits that will or might cause problems have been swapped out.
One thing for sure if Castillio has an courage he'll keep his big break v.h.s. in an safe in his basement so his children will always wonder where they seen his father ...?
I have an idea for the next Uwe Boll movie! An adaptation of the classic game Sonic '06. The plot: a 10-year old kid (who dies his hair blue and wears it spiky) named Sonic collects small, elemental monsters. Oh, but he randomly shows short gifs of things like "Sonic Goes For a Walk."
I don't know. George Romero making a movie about a human who tries to keep the peace between vampires and werewolves sounds pretty cool. Well, it would be if SMeyer was willing to allow anyone with actual writing experience to make changes to her story.
i think i just figured out something... Uwe Bol only got the rights to the TITLES of games, so it'll be cheaper etc, but he can't use any game content so he makes up a load of bollocks
+zeugfilms No he does games because he can get a Tax write off. and I believe its mostly because so he doesn't have to think long about the script as its all laid out in front of him
You know my biggest problem with Halloween, Friday the13 and pretty much every movie is that they all need stupid techno music over the bad matrix fight sees
I remember my Mom bought this for me on dvd. I had a dreamcast and she knew that was my favorite game 4 the dreamcast. I had never heard of the "Amazing" bastard Uwe Troll and after watching it I would never forget the horror Uwe would bring upon the world. Anyway I brought the dvd to FYE and tried to trade it in a while later. They offered me 0.05$$$$!!! Yes a fuckn nickel....AND I TOOK IT!
Why the hell is this called house of the dead? It should have been titled island of the dead given the setting! What, they couldn't find a big mansion and throw in a truck load of zombies in there? Yeah I know it's supposed to be an adaptation of the game but come on Boll, You could have at least tried.
Wow, they use the footage from the version of the game that gave the zombies green blood? Did they not have the rights to use footage from the real game lol
I was doing a project for a class (a Hangman game featuring Hangedman from the first HotD game) and I told everyone about my game. One person I showed it to mentioned this MOVIE. Jeez...
I'd rather watch Anderson's movies. Hell, he seems like an extremely nice guy in person unlike Uwe. Even if his movies aren't really good, I still respect him over Uwe.
The movie had one thing going for it, and that was Kirk's "Zero fucks given" attitude.Apart from that one tiny thing, it was a huge steaming pile of dung.
I had this video on in the background while I was writing a Westworld fanfic, not paying attention to the movie at all actually, and then I tab over and in that exact moment it's fuckin Jimmi Simpson taking a hit on the bong! I can't escape this guy! How?!
I knew a guy who break up with an amazing girl because she was “too busy studying” for his liking during exams. God forbid for woman to put an effort into her education. So those idiots breaking up because of fencing is not all that unrealistic 😂
It's really a testament to how low standards were around the mid 2000s when almost all of these Boll game adaptations were released in theaters at one point...
Three were: House of Dead, Alone in Dark, and Bloodrayne
And In The Name of the King, Far Cry and Postal (limited run).
John Smith 3 is too many
Ya the 2000s were a dark time for films.
That explains how "Crash" won Best Picture
"You did it so you could live forever. Why?"
"To live forever."
Wow... What a well-thought-out thing to happen! That scene makes more sense than it needs to.
Dadadadaaaaaa
If Hollywood is dead set on reboots and remakes, why not the movies that Uwe Boll had his fucking hands in?
The last time I saw House of the Dead I fell asleep at the shoot out scene...woke up and it was STILL goin on
That intro reminds me of the day years ago when I had my first period, and I knew I had finally become a man.
Don't you mean puberty
Yes, when a boy bleeds from his vag for the first time, it's called puberty.
Balloon Sage You made my day :D
Balloon Sage I'm not sure to understand but it was funny. 😆
anik monette I believe it's a south park reference. There was an episode where they thought boy's had periods, till God told them that they don't and the boys that did had a virus.
'I WILL NEVER DIE'... genius how you tied this review in with stay alive
Captain Kirk is so raw he doesn’t even have to reload his game
As a fan of the HOTD games, this movie is a knife in my fucking soul.
Art Rose Media But is there a house in the games
Dropkick Queen In the first one kinda, tho it’s more of a ever expanding mansion if remember correctly
House of the Dead Overkill has levels that take place in houses, and it's theme is GRINDhouse.
I honestly would rather rip out all of my organs, one by one than ever see this movie outside of reviewer commentary
I played the game at about arcade & thought it was awesome.
I enjoy rewatching this review every once in a while from seeing it nearly a decade ago, holds up pretty well.
All of his reviews hold up pretty well
You might be happy to know that Boll is officially retiring from film making. In his words at least, but for now lets enjoy the possibility that he is leaving the business. Hopefully for good.
stlouisrocker100 Not before he plays victim and blame us all because we doesn't fund his kickstarter tho...
Andhie Yusuf Let him have his tantrums. It's only going to make him look worse than he already is.
stlouisrocker100 Mostly 'cause they closed the loophole
Dropkick Queen If that's the case, then let's have a round of applause.
You were writing this with a straight face, calling whatever this degenerate made as "film making" ?
Fun fact: there aren’t technically any actual zombies in the House of the Dead games; they’re genetically-mutated “Creatures”. Zombies don’t appear outside of a non-canon spinoff game called Zombie Revenge. So this movie didn’t even get that right!
They tried to pass this off as prequel to the games but this movie can't be canon to games in the slightest
But i still call them zombies .. and ya if your definition of zombie has " coming back from the death " factor necessary then there are actually some monsters in the game which are zombies.. for example , Sophie becomes zombie in bad ending of the house of the dead game after getting killed by Chariot which clearly means she came back from the death .

This is my favorite review you've done Phelous, thanks for re-uploading it to TH-cam even though some of the music has changed because of stupid copyright.
The biggest bugbear I have in this movie is, if the Zombies can swim why haven't they spread off the island?
See that's I'm wondering
RIP Boll's filmmaking. We took you for granted, we had our fun, but we never imagined how deeply we'd feel the loss at your passing. The world is cold and empty without you.
I did not read this properly the first time and thought you meant that Uwe Boll was dead!
Geez, don't give me false hope like that... XD
Scowlie Meerkat I miss him, just like that boil that I had to get popped. painful but it's gone now.
There actually where Sega sponsored raves. Though they weren't on islands. Most Sega raves revolved around projections of their character Miku Miku singing popular J-Pop and American Pop songs.
You mean Hatsune Miku?
There is actually a behind the scenes video for this in House of the Dead III on the Xbox.
I own a piece of an Uwe masterpiece. Holy shit.
so i got this dvd for christmas and boy was it a treat uwe boll ftw
Why is phelous so awesome?!?!
Cris Gill Obligatory Meme-y answer time:
-- Dried off, regained usefulness
-- Infected with THE A VIRUS... / awesome fu virus (?)
-- Every time a reviewer comes close to death, they get a power up
-- Regeneration... eering
-- He's got a shotgun
Why did that woman decide to jump into the path of the thrown axe, rather than simply tilting the barrel of the gun up slightly?
Because no one acts like a rational human being in Boll movies.
Uwe Boll everyone, one of the most DREADFUL directors of making video game adaptions. Holy fuck.....where's the Tylenol......?
I met my girlfriend on one of these sega raves from 2003. But we broke up so she could focus on her pingpong career.
"Isla del Muerte"? No. It's either Isla de LA Muerte or Isla de LOS Muertos.
You forgot that Uwe Bol is an idiot who doesn't let little things like facts, and logic, and sense stop him from putting out garbage films.

Batzarro. Isla de Muerte = Isle of Death - - would have sounded better
But otherwise, the movie is flawless.
Uwe Boll doesn't understand English, let alone Spanish.
12:03, the famous traveling rail in the first part of the frame.
Ouch, Uwe, ouch.
You deserve so much more views... When I first heard of you it was as Tobe Fair and I cringed hard, but there was a lot of good things said about you so I gave it a shot. And now I'm happy each time you upload!
OMG we rented this from Block Buster when i was 10, but i didn't recognize the film till you showed a clip of Liberty.
I long forgot what this film was, & the only thing that stuck with me was:
🔴 there was a movie with a girl named Liberty, in a ridiculous outfit
⚪ there was a line where the other characters made fun of/questioned if that was her real name
🔵 & they were being killed (but i didn't recall by what)
I wouldn't mind a Punch Out: Phelous Edition. There's plenty of possibly opponents to choose from.
Maybelle Summers P sure we all just imagined the same thing
If Old Man isn’t the referee, I ain’t buying
If Siro isn't one of the opponents I'm not buying it.
One of my favorite Phelous vids!
Literally the only movie in my life I actually walked out of and got my money back. Lol
I love the face you make when the watcher merges with you X)
Jürgen Prochnow you were in Das Boot and are really charismatic and have a cool accent! Why do you keep turning up in lousy movies? Seriously he is like German version of Malcolm McDowell.
Wow Phelan. You're really spitting out the videos for TH-cam aren't ya.
Also, am I right in assuming that you changed the music in certain scenes on these videos so that way you wouldn't running to copyright issues on TH-cam?
moogleknight88 Yep. TH-cam comes down a lot harder on the music than Blip did so a lot of music bits that will or might cause problems have been swapped out.
+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous It's good one have you on TH-cam buddy. I love you!
He made you a DEAD SANDWICH!
Starts off with quoting Davison's dying lines as The Doctor. Nice touch, Phelan!
One thing for sure if Castillio has an courage he'll keep his big break v.h.s. in an safe in his basement so his children will always wonder where they seen his father ...?
I have an idea for the next Uwe Boll movie! An adaptation of the classic game Sonic '06. The plot: a 10-year old kid (who dies his hair blue and wears it spiky) named Sonic collects small, elemental monsters. Oh, but he randomly shows short gifs of things like "Sonic Goes For a Walk."
+David Spring This is hollywood we need to give you a million dollars to make this
Zxzero36 I'd rather make GOOD movies, thanks lol
David Spring And that's why you'll never make it big
This sounds more like pokemon
@@reptile1687that's the joke
For a moment, I thought you were going to congratulate the movie for breaking the stupid barrier lol
13:10 Did that chick just jump up *into the axe* ?
By the logic of reality, yes, by Boll logic, no
Rogue of Life That... That was beautifully eloquent!
15:55 Skull face has really let himself go
I felt my IQ drop to level potato...
Dee dah Dee Dee dah
Whew... finally caught up to all your videos... Now watch as you release 5 more that I missed. lol
I just knew Uwe Boll made this before I even read the description. It's got his fingerprints all over
Bring back old Phelous! Miss your "horror" reviews
He still does it sometimes
you made me shiver when you said Romeo almost made twilight. not that twilight I know but still.
I don't know. George Romero making a movie about a human who tries to keep the peace between vampires and werewolves sounds pretty cool. Well, it would be if SMeyer was willing to allow anyone with actual writing experience to make changes to her story.
To bad bella never cared about keeping peace.
The one good thing this movie brought to the world was the concept of a Sega rave. Because let's be real, that would actually be sick as hell.
Especially if they have some Hideki Naganuma on the playlist.
I’m liking the cast picks and Directors’ name drops
Fun fact: Erica Durance is actually married to the dude playing Castillo.
SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE from this shitty movie.
You did all of this, became immortal, why?
TO LIVE FOREVER
You didn't even show McGyver shooting Casper the Friendly Ghost. What good are editing powers if you don't do that
That black girl got totally snubbed on that handshake.
I used to put all my pocket money into that game at the arcade. Good times. Thanks for shitting all over my childhood Bol!
Imagine if you didn't know which game this was supposed to adapt, and you had to guess.
The editing in this movie is completely baffling.
Enuka Okuma what are you doing here? You were Lady Une and Android 18 for Odin's sake.
"SEY-GAH~!"
I always freak out when someone references Doctor Who so when I saw this intro I lost it
Great shoutouts to the two best regeneration episodes of Doctor Who.
i think i just figured out something... Uwe Bol only got the rights to the TITLES of games, so it'll be cheaper etc, but he can't use any game content so he makes up a load of bollocks
+zeugfilms Unfortunately this movie kind of disproves that because he's clearly free to just shove in random footage from the game whenever he wants.
+zeugfilms nope uwe boll actually thinks this is a game tie in it's true he is just insane
+zeugfilms No he does games because he can get a Tax write off. and I believe its mostly because so he doesn't have to think long about the script as its all laid out in front of him
Zxzero36 Thank fuck that tax loophole has been stuffed hopefully with Bol's head
That intro alone makes this channel better than 99,4815162342% on youtube
You know my biggest problem with Halloween, Friday the13 and pretty much every movie is that they all need stupid techno music over the bad matrix fight sees

17:13 oh my god, it's that asshole from L.A. Noire!
“They diiiii~ieee~🎵”
Always gets me lol.
Protip Boll: It becomes really obvious your actor's on a stool when you have him raise his arms out like Jesus when he's hanging from a noose.
Why the hell is this called house of the dead? It should have been titled island of the dead given the setting! What, they couldn't find a big mansion and throw in a truck load of zombies in there? Yeah I know it's supposed to be an adaptation of the game but come on Boll, You could have at least tried.
I remember an old issue of Game Informer that had an article covering the making of this movie, LMAO
Really?
Oh my God, Jurgen Prochnow is in this? That's so, so sad....:(
13:45 That isn't techno music, it's the soundtrack CD skipping.
Wow, they use the footage from the version of the game that gave the zombies green blood? Did they not have the rights to use footage from the real game lol
The actual game has green blood... you have to unlock the red blood
His face says a lot about this movie bored and he wants to get to the end credits
"House" in the title obviously refers to the type of techno music splattered across this mess. Uwe got his English mixed up.
Okay, that would be funny!
Hopefully one day some director or movie company will pick up and redew a new House of the dead movie and do it right... I really hope so
I was doing a project for a class (a Hangman game featuring Hangedman from the first HotD game) and I told everyone about my game. One person I showed it to mentioned this MOVIE. Jeez...
I like how you didn't mention the dolly track that comes into frame or the obvious stunt man trampoline.
So McGuyver and Captain Kirk are in a movie... and it’s THIS movie?
I only JUST realised that was a doctor who reference
Kirk is god now...Did he ever tell you his favorite color was blue?
To Phelan's left (our right) throughout his review, it looks like there is a box for A Nightmare on Elm Street for DS? What is it??
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
I never played the game, so the only inaccuracy I could knowingly complain about was the fact there was no house. lol
Also, I've seen a gif of that scene at 5:08, and always wondered where it came from. lol
This is my favorite Fyre Festival documentary.
You should go back to reviewing Uwe Boll movies to prepare for Paul WS Anderson next Resident Evil movie .
I'd rather watch Anderson's movies. Hell, he seems like an extremely nice guy in person unlike Uwe. Even if his movies aren't really good, I still respect him over Uwe.
T-Birdus Thoracis AMEN! And milla jovoitch is a nice cool person too. screw uwe Boll and screw stupid ugly Maggie q too!
The movie had one thing going for it, and that was Kirk's "Zero fucks given" attitude.Apart from that one tiny thing, it was a huge steaming pile of dung.
Great review I love the punch out thing hahah
I watch this episode just for the Allison line of, “He was Phelous all the time!”
I was waiting for the Lois reference.
Has phelous reviewed DOOM? If not he should it sucks!
Doom for me was tolerable.
Good thing Uwe Boll and Eli Roth never work together
So did you ever get challenged to a boxing match?
Awesome intro music!
Phelous as the watcher looked like General Zod
Best reviewer ever
The 2000s were a frightening time.
This movie and 2001 a space odyssey, two fundamental films of cinema.
17:08 "Dogs of the AMS.... time they made a move."
Damn anti-copyright strike stuff. The ending doesn't feel the same without the Dr. Who music.
13:07 - did she wanna get hit on purpose or why did she jump?!
I had this video on in the background while I was writing a Westworld fanfic, not paying attention to the movie at all actually, and then I tab over and in that exact moment it's fuckin Jimmi Simpson taking a hit on the bong! I can't escape this guy! How?!
wait... theres no house in House of the Dead?
I remember when we only had the StreetFighter to be disappointed in. Then the Resident Evil movies came out and it was the beginning of the end.
I knew a guy who break up with an amazing girl because she was “too busy studying” for his liking during exams. God forbid for woman to put an effort into her education.
So those idiots breaking up because of fencing is not all that unrealistic 😂
Omg this movie bruh got me weak 😂
Poor Enuka Okuma....
more like poor Clint Howard
