House Of The Dead

Oh God, I really couldn't watch more than half of this piece of sh...pshhh, I'd really seen enough. I wonder why House Of The Dead even made it to the cinemas. I fear it's because of Jürgen Prochnow, but sorry, if that's all, they should have better released it only on DVD, because this movie is really a waste of money for anyone who goes to see it. It also got awful ratings, but not to my surprise at all. This is one of the cheapest, most retarded horrorfilms I've ever seen. It's all just about one after the other dieing, but there's hardly any story.

SYNOPSIS from Rotten Tomatoes

It's Spring Break and University of Washington college co-eds Cynthia (Sonya Salomaa), Greg (Will Sanderson) and Karma (Enuka Okuma) just want to party. When Greg's best friend Simon Cruz (Tyron Leitso) tells them about a Halloween rave happening on a remote island in the strait of Juan De Fuca, they rush to recruit their heartbroken roommate, Alicia (Ona Grauer), to join them. Reluctantly, she agrees, but by the time they arrive at the party boat, it's already left for the island.

Not willing to accept defeat, Simon approaches the hard-as-nails boat captain, Victor Kirk (Jurgen Prochnow) to charter his vessel, the Lazarus, to take them to the rave. Despite warnings by Kirk's jittery first mate Salish (Clint Howard), Kirk accepts the charter and welcomes the kids on board his dilapidated vessel. Unfortunately, Kirk is in the sights of his nemesis, Marine Patrol officer Jordan Casper (Ellie Cornell), who orders him to stand down and be boarded for an inspection. Kirk refuses, and sets off on the high seas with Casper in hot pursuit.

Meanwhile, Johanna (Erica Parker) sneaks away from the rave to go skinnydipping with her boyfriend. Suspecting there's something in the water, Johanna rushes from the lake, only to find her boyfriend has disappeared. Quickly dressing, she sets out in search of him and encounters a mysterious ancient house. Warily entering, she opens the door and finds her boyfriend being ripped apart by bloodthirsty zombies. Johanna tries to escape, but is caught and killed by the creatures.
