House of the Dead 2 - Phelous

[@Mathee]

The whole "cover yourself in zombie blood and guts, and pretend to be a zombie to get through large crowds of them" happened in The Walking Dead, but it makes more sense to try that there, since in that universe everyone is already infected, and it's dying that make you turn

+Phelan Porteous fun fact the Special Forces guy who gets his arm chopped off is played by Daniel Southworth. Who played Eric Myers aka THE QUANTUM FUCKING RANGER in Power Rangers Time Force. You'd think a former ranger would be smarter than that lol.

You know how in zombie films, fans usually time how long it takes from when the main character first encounters a zombie, to the point where they actually properly handle a zombie? This movie has soldiers who say they have had experience dealing with zombies in a post-infection world, and when they first see a zombie, say "what the hell?" and shoot it in the chest. And then they keep making the same damn mistakes over and over again, like Phelous says! I'm sorry, but... how? How do the writers DO that? How do they sit down, write a movie about zombies, and then decide to have characters repeatedly make fatal mistakes? How do you turn your brain off like that? No, better way to explain, how do you REVERSE your brain like that? It's beyond Stupidity Advances the Plot, this is a movie where the plot demands in every scene after the set-up that nothing can happen without someone doing something as if they were boarding Cliché Train for the first time! This is Triangle levels of illogical time-loops! You're wondering if some computer programmed on bad tropes spat out one of ten thousand possible scripts, and they went with that one! Heck, I'm not even angry, it just baffles me. Not even the excuse of "they just wanted to make a movie" makes sense, because it's not just writing lazy clichés, it's writing clichés that directly contradict other clichés in EVERY scene! Just... HOW?! XD XD

[@EmotionCreator]

In Uwe Boll's case: tax loophole exploitation. That's how. Prior to 2006, Germany had a law where if your movie was doing poorly, you'd get about half of the project money back from the government as tax refunds. So in regards to Uwe Boll's movies, all he had to do was make movies that had at least some form of acting, writing, filming, audio editing and video editing to make it "acceptable" enough to be considered a movie made on a "proper budget" - as long as it did poorly than most other successful movies. So all in all, it doesn't even matter if the script is awful and riddled with mistakes - they're done badly on purpose. And that's one of the reasons why Uwe Boll is disliked, nay, loathed by many. As for other movie makers doing these sort of mistakes in their zombie movies, sometimes the stress of making a movie, the tight schedule and inexperience can create these sort of mistakes. It just happens. But at least they're more honest mistakes.

[@anikmonette2140]

The EC Heck, some bad horror movies ARE entertaining because they are genuinely unaware...

[@nathanschmitz2302]

But even better, most threw their guns away and fought them with fists!

[@MforMovesets]

"How do the writers DO that?" By being cheap writers who didn't check twice. Or maybe the characters are just stupid, like how in Walking Dead people are STILL bitten by Zombies on an open field.

[@FlyinggMushroom]

No that's just you. I, and I imagine most people don't time when they first encounter a zombie to when they "properly handle them". What a stupidcomment.

[@SpeedyEric1]

4:29- Thank you very much, movie, for making me wish I was watching a better zombie movie, like Zombieland. 11:05- You are not the library ghost from Ghostbusters, and you never will be. 11:35- Nice hint for your review of La Horde. 14:00- "Game over, man! Game over!"

Ok, but Phelous looks pretty hot in that coat & gloves...

[@gagaplex]

"Hyper-sapiens"? "Sapiens" means "wise" or "sapient". I think that aspect is probably the main thing to be lost upon transformation into a zombie. "Sub-sapiens" sounds stupid, too, but would at least make some sort of sense.

[@davidspring4003]

unless they're saying zombies are smarter than humans. Which...they're smarter than any of the humans in this movie at least.

one big mistake Sid Haig makes in this movie is if you're going the girl back to life, be sure to have her tied down first. this dumb mistake was also made in the beginning of the Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave.

18:48 great usage of that track when Nightingale shot Bart. Too bad the actual film didn't include that song clip xD. For all of this films faults, I enjoyed it for what it was. I remember seeing on Sci-Fi when it debuted in January 2006. Time flies... Great review, Phelous!
