When a demented professor (Sid Haig) starts to conduct experiments on fresh corpses, all hell breaks loose at Cuesta Verde University as hordes of undead college kids roam the secluded school. Now it's up to government agents Alex (Emmanuelle Vaugier) and Ellis (Ed Quinn) to find the zombie blood strain that initially started the epidemic so that a cure can be discovered. In their way are a student body of flesh-eating zombies and an inexperienced army unit headed by Dalton (Sticky Fingaz) that is assigned to aide them. Broadcast as a Sci-fi Channel exclusive in early 2006, the film was released to DVD in all its gory goodness shortly thereafter. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Luke Y. Thompson, New Times
Fealty to the arcade game is still, alas, a pipe dream (no mutant frogs or leeches to be found anywhere!).
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...just as inept as its predecessor...
Staci Layne Wilson, About.com
The movie might be schlock, but at least it's good-looking B-schlock.
Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
House of the Dead 2 comes really close to being a classic modern zombie film, though the lack of gore really hinders it.

Overall this is a better made film compared to the first one, but not as fun. It's more of traditional zombie film and less of a stylized action-fest but still not a great film. It's a little silly at times but it doesn't sink to the hilarious depths of Uwe Boll's… More

Lot better than the first but thats not saying much.

I preferred the first, this tries to take it self seriously when it is so cheesey beyond belief. Based on a shooting game and barely has any shooting!?

Once it gets past its first twenty minutes, it's clear House of the Dead 2 is nowhere near as terrible as its predecessor. Yes, it's a very bad movie, with tense moments simply not registering on the fright thermometer and zombies just as silly (and boring) as they come,… More
Once it gets past its first twenty minutes, it's clear House of the Dead 2 is nowhere near as terrible as its predecessor. Yes, it's a very bad movie, with tense moments simply not registering on the fright thermometer and zombies just as silly (and boring) as they come, but... it simply doesn't live up to the supreme shittiness of the first one, which ultimately makes it a serious waste of time. Yawn.

Good film, perhaps a little better (in quality and gore) than the original. Nothing to write home about, but then again, has anyone ever written home about any movie?

A great one! Interesting! Favorable scene is the library scene, with the zombie librarian.

At least it was better than the 1st one even though that is not saying much.
