Poor Michael Hurst. You
probably don't know him, and you probably never really will, but Hurst had the inglorious job of directing a sequel to
The House of Dead, Mr. Uwe Boll's first foray into the world of bad game-to-film adaptations. So it may come
as no surprise, then, that House
of the Dead 2 is not going to get a theatrical run at all - instead, the movie will premier on cable
television, as a Sci Fi Pictures Original.The film, as 1up notes, does have a pretty good tag line: It only took a single zombie to spawn an army. / It'll take everything humanity has to stop it. However, we became instantly uninterested when we discovered that famed character actor Clint Howard has nothing to do with this movie (he was in the first film). House of the Dead II premieres next Saturday, February 11th, at 9pm EST.
