However, it does have a star-studded cast including Lou Ferrigno, Abe Vigoda, Roddy Piper, Erik Estrada as an Elvis impersonator, and a bunch of other actors who presumably owed someone a favor. This movie has it all, musical numbers, mafiosos in drag, flying plastic babies, go...

We watched Uwe Boll's interpretation of House of the Dead and we answered many questions, but ended up asking more. Were they still printing VHS in 2003? Yes. Was Sega Saturn still relevant in 2003? No. Did anybody besides Topher own a Sega Saturn? Who knows. One of our favorite childhood videos games hit the small screen and, much like the zombies in the movie, we relive the pain and suffering brought on by House of the Dead.
