Summary
A group of young partygoers travels to a remote island for a rave, only to find the event abandoned and the island overrun by the undead. Teaming up with a boat captain and a harbor official, the survivors take refuge in an old house and fight to stay alive against waves of zombies tied to a centuries-old experiment. Directed by Uwe Boll and loosely based on the Sega arcade game.
House of the Dead is a 2003 action, adventure and horror film.
7,846 other films from the 2000s form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 391 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 414 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where House of the Dead lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 391.
