[edit] How is THIS a cult film?

Everyone hates it! (Ibaranoff24 00:37, 23 April 2006 (UTC))

• Apparently there are a lot of people who consider Boll to be the Ed Wood of our generation and they apparently adore his films genuily because of their low-quality. Sounds crazy but it's mentioned on Boll's page here at Wikipedia. (HannuMakinen)

A few, certainly, but the box office returns would seem to argue against there being 'a lot' of Boll fans. That said, I don't think this movie is really the 9th worst ever made (its position on the IMDB bottom 100 last I looked). Mark Grant 21:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Actual house...

Okay, I'm getting the feeling that people who keep adding incorrect info about the movie not actually having a house have not even watched the film or are just looking to confuse readers. There is a house in the film, wether or not it's the same house as in the game does not make a difference since the film is intended to be a prequel to the game. Both the movie and game are rather dumb, but that's no reason to constantly vandalize the page.--HannuMakinen 16:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

While I agree with your point, from what I remember it's more of a shack in the woods. 'Shack of the Dead' doesn't quite have the same ring to it :). Mark Grant 21:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

If it has four walls, a ceiling a door and a couple of windows, it's a house, it doesn't matter what type. Isn't the house in the game more of a mansion anyway? -TheHande 15:37, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I think so, but I've only seen bits of the game in an arcade. It's certainly closer to being a house than the shack in the movie was. Mark Grant 15:40, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Are you even trying to make a point here? All I see this as is unnecessary nit-picking. -TheHande 05:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Box office

BTW, I believe this movie more than made a profit from the DVD release even though it made little in the cinema, which is presumably why a sequel was made. If anyone knows of a reliable source for DVD sales figures it may be worth adding to the article. Mark Grant 21:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
