Ever wondered what could possibly make someone love the 2003 movie adaptation of the Sega classic video game, House of the Dead? What if we told you we've cracked the code? Buckle up as we comically dissect this horror film, taking it apart scene by scene. From its poor pacing, to the peculiar directorial style choices, we expose it all. We even spill the beans on the cast, most of whom have since made their grand exit from the film industry.
We wouldn't be doing justice to the review if we didn't mention the best lines of the movie. Or the odd use of intercuts with the video games. And who could forget the swimming zombies? We've got loads to say about the movie's action scenes and some of the comic elements that had us in stitches. Our discussion takes a deep dive into the movie's plot, touching on Alicia's fencing skills, Rudy's axe-wielding, and the dramatic helicopter scene at the end. Also, we scratch our heads over the lack of awareness when the characters decide to split up, the movie's questionable dialogue, and much more.
If you didn't think it could get more interesting, we wrap up the episode by looking at the movie from a distance, pondering on its over-lit sets and bad set design. So, whether you're a fan of the game or a lover of horror films, come join us on this hilariously enlightening journey into the House of the Dead. You won't look at the movie the same way ever again!

Hate Watching Haunted Mansion (2003)
Ever wondered why Eddie Murphy's Haunted Mansion felt more like a kid's movie than a rollicking horror-comedy? Brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride down memory lane as we dissect this Halloween anti-classic, and uncover hidden layers you might have missed. We start off by talking about the struggle of early mornings, before diving into our personal experiences watching the movie, the treats we gorged on, and yes, the one joke that managed to tickle our funny bone!
Our discussion takes an intriguing turn as we compare the movie to the iconic Haunted Mansion ride. We ponder about the plot's resemblance to a Dracula tale, debate about the performances by Eddie Murphy, Gary Oldman, and Keanu Reeves, and question why the comedy seemed toned down for a younger audience. The nuances of the movie's characters, their interactions with the supernatural and the absurdity of the plot, especially the breathing door scene and the ghost ball, will surely leave you scratching your head. So, get ready to revisit your perception of Eddie Murphy's Haunted Mansion with us!
