1.0 out of 5 stars Directors Cut (comedy version) as bad as original (horror version), September 7, 2008

By	Micheal Hunt (Hellbourne) - See all my reviews

This new directors cut is there attempt to take a bad horror movie and make it a comedy. Only it fails to be funny, just like it originally failed to be scary, or entertaining.

It has on the cover "you will die laughing".... false advertising, to say the least. There is nothing funny about those speech bubble/info facts popping up every 10 seconds saying something not even remotely funny.

And then the fart gags, a fart joke can be hilarious, but not when it's a fart sound effect thrown in for the hell of putting one in there. Even 3 year olds wouldn't be laughing at it, maybe a 2 year old might find it funny, but this is not a movie for a 2 year old.

Take my word on it, you will never kick yourself for avoiding this movie, I wouldn't even watch this again if it was on TV or someone paid me 100 bucks to view it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Uwe Boll may be a bad director, but at least he knows it, May 7, 2009

By	Genevieve Hayes (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are some movies that are so bad that they can only be made watchable by gathering a group of friends and heckling the movie for its entire running time. "House of the Dead" is one of those movies and director Uwe Boll (who is often labeled the worst director ever) realizes it, which is why he came up with "House of the Dead - the Funny Version" (well, that and, presumably, the desire to make more money - but I'm not going to hold that against him). "House of the Dead - the Funny Version" takes the original "serious" version of "House of the Dead" and adds in out-takes, alternate scenes and pop-up captions throughout, turning what many consider to be an ordeal of a movie into the equivalent of a night of heckling. Boll may be a terrible film-maker, but he has a great sense of humour and is prepared to make jokes at the expense of his work. The captions that appear throughout the film are absolutely hilarious (for example, at the commencement of the far-too-long fight scene: "Thus, begins the longest fight scene in film history. You might like to go get some refreshments now... or hang yourself). For some people, there is nothing that could make this film watchable, but for those with the right (or should I say wrong) sense of humour, watching this film is a great experience.

1.0 out of 5 stars House of the Dead directors cut, March 9, 2009

By	M. J. Snezek (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

House of the Dead directors cut is funny and entertaining. That's why I ordered it, unfortunatly gohastings shipped me the regular movie not the directors cut. When I called the customer service number they told me all they could do was issue me a refund (which will take around three weeks to go back into my account) and let me keep the wrong movie they sent me. That would be great if I actually wanted the regular movie, but I don't (I don't think anyone does since it's selling for only $.01)My confirmation e-mail told me they shipped me the directors cut, but obviously they didn't. I'm writing this review just to warn others to be ware of what they order. If it is shipped from gohastings you may not get what they tell you you're going to get.
