2006 · Michael Hurst · 95 min
At Guesta Verde University, deranged Professor Curien is trying to revive the dead, killing students for the experiment. As such, there's an outbreak of zombies, and the government sends a NSA medical research team, formed by Dr. Alexandra 'Nightingale' Morgan and Lt. Ellis, with a special force leaded by Lt. Dalton, trying to get the zero sample from the first generation zombie. The team has little time to accomplish and depart before missiles are sent to destroy the area.

How scary is House of the Dead 2?
Watching this feels less like being scared and more like playing through an action video game with zombies thrown in for spectacle. The pace is fast and loud, built around gunfights, explosions, and monster attacks rather than tension or dread. Blood and creature effects show up often, but it's played for cheap thrills and cheesy fun rather than anything that actually unsettles you. It's a good pick if you want mindless, campy zombie action rather than a movie that gets under your skin.
On The Horror Database's 0–5 scare profile, House of the Dead 2 rates psychological 1/5, visceral 4/5, gore 3/5, lingering effect 1/5, and overall intensity 3/5.
