House of the Dead movie recut as a comedy
Prepare yourselves for even more horror. A new DVD release of horrifyingly terrible video-game-franchise-turned-movie House of the Dead is set for Sept. 9, just in time to celebrate the ninth anniversary of the Dreamcast.
For those of you unfortunate enough to have seen the movie in its original form, fear not: This version is a completely new cut (signed off on by director Uwe Boll, of course) featuring new dialog, commentary, animation from the games and enough “tongue-in-cheek humor” to kill yourself by proxy embarrassment. The new version is naturally titled House of the Dead: The Funny Version.
Original cast includes Jurgen Prochnow and Clint Howard with a special appearance by famed breast augmentation specialist Siegfried Wienermeister. Even the most hardcore fans of the original cult classic will never discover that human flesh tastes like chicken until they watch this hysterically tasteless funny version!
The original movie hit theaters in 2003 and grossed an estimated $13 million more than it deserved. Excuse me while I vomit onto my keyboarahgaaaauuggljakglhdlkgjklglkc,,bm,x

I guess Boll will do anything to make a dollar, but all this move does is prove how bad the movie was in the first place.
If you can easily re-edit a horror movie to make it a comedy, you know you’ve failed.

Oh I loved the original.
It was so bad that it was… well no, it was just bad…
But you did get to see Erica Durance (of Smallville fame) topless. So that’s a bonus :)
Actually I think as far as teen horror movies go - it would have been pretty good - if Mr Boll, didn’t insist on using those shitty clips from the games, or the weird moments when the characters would be standing there and the camera spins around them (like a video game)… but he did do those things… :(
