In Guesta Verde University, the deranged Professor Curien is trying to bring back the dead, killing students for the experiment. There is an outbreak of zombies in the campus, and the government sends a NSA medical research team, formed by Dr. Alexandra Morgan a.k.a. Nightingale and lieutenant Ellis, with a special force leaded by lieutenant Dalton, trying to get the zero sample from the first generation zombie. The team has a very short time to accomplish their mission and leave the place before missiles are sent to destroy the area. However, the place is crowded of hyper sapiens and the group has to fight to survive.

And this is a big let down. Do not waste your time. And do not waste your money. Do not see this movie. It is a an awful movie. Do not see it. It is a big pile of pooh. This movie is pooh pooh. It is not a good movie. It is a pooh pooh movie. A pooh pooh, pooh pooh. It so stinky it stinks. See the first movie of House of the dead. Do not see this. It is a big pile of pooh that is really stinky.
There are only four reasons to dislike this movie: 1) you presuppose that any B movie, particularly one made for the Sci-Fi Channel (or "Syfy," as it's now known) couldn't possibly be good, 2) you're closed minded, 3) you have some sort of mental deficiency, as evidenced by the fact that you like Uwe Boll, 4) you're a freaking idiot. Because anybody who knows anything about action and / or zombie movies couldn't possibly dislike this film.HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: DEAD AIM is B movie master Mike Hurst's unrelated sequel to Uwe Boll's godawful video game adaptation. There "house" in question is a bunch of frat / sorority "houses" (ha ha), and there are a lot of undead, requiring a crack team including gorgeous and talented Emmanuelle Vaugier (sp?) to go in and stop them. And like all good action movies, it's that simple. It sets up during the opening credits. It totally understands what it is and the genre, hence Sid Haig himself and a dry and appropriate sense of humor - not Michael Bay styled out of place crap. The production design is fantastic. The action is actually exciting. It is the movie that the previous film should have been, had Uwe Boll not directed it. And I absolutely love it.I won't go much further into it than that, because honestly, I haven't seen it in a minute. I just wanted to weigh in on the gang of idiots who somehow think that this is a bad movie. Either we watched different films, or the world is really full of lemmings. My experience favors the latter, so I felt I had to speak up.If you're a true action movie fan, do yourself a favor and watch this movie. It's really well made, really fun, and really worth your time. If you find a way to dislike it, ask yourself if your dislike is based on the movie or your idiot friend. And then watch it again.-AS http://www.rottentomatoes.com/user/id/900752177/
That is saying a lot as the first House of the Dead was absolutely abysmal in every way. I was expecting the sequel to be even worse, but actually while not great it is much better. True it is not perfect, Sticky Fingaz never really convinced me often overplaying his part(though his death scene is hilarious), the story doesn't have any huge surprises and is lacking in scares and tension often coming across as overly-silly, the script while having the odd witty spot is banal, the characters are stereotypical and while nowhere near as annoying as those of the first one are still not very easy to warm to and Michael Hurst's direction while infinitely better than Uwe Boll's(then again any director is better than Boll) does have one too many moments where it is pedestrian. On the plus side, the scenery and lighting are much more atmospheric and this film is much better edited. The music doesn't have much standing out but is not as over-bearing and doesn't feel like an excuse to incorporate some scares into what feels like one rambling, long music video(the first film felt like that). The downbeat ending is a welcome touch and there are some witty quips in the script which brings some bright flashes amongst the general banality. The acting is also better than average generally, Emmanuelle Vaugher and Ed Quinn are likable leads and James Park is appropriately dignified. The zombies are a clear improvement also, actually showing some menace. All in all, a huge improvement on the first film even if it is still rather lacking. 5/10 Bethany Cox
OK to start things off, I personally think the 3.9 is harsh for this movie. When i saw the first movie it remained in my mind as the WORST zombie movie of all time. Now when i saw this in the video store i was like "Why would they make a sequel to one of the worst films in the world". Well I was way off. This movie blew me away "Compared to the first one" Acting was better, zombies weren't doing back flips, and skimpy Chinese girls weren't running around half naked jumping 10 feet in the air shooting zombies. Instead this movie took a new approach with an OK script and some mediocre actors (Except Sid, hes awesome:P) It is a huge improvement to the first film (Which isn't that hard) A lot of funny moments and lines like "NO MAN THEY GOT THE SARGE MAN NOT THE SARGE!" I love that line. all in all i would usually give this film and 5 or 6 out of ten but seeing its poor rating of a 3.9 i think it deserves a 5.4 or something so that's why i have a 10/10 for it.Must see for zombie fans and if your in the mood to just chill and watch some OK acting kill some sharp teethed zombies :P
