House of the Dead is a German-Canadian action horror film series directed by Uwe Boll, based on Sega's The House of the Dead video game franchise. Not a direct adaptation of the individual entries, Boll described the first film as a prequel to the original 1997 game. A direct-to-video sequel was released in 2006. A new installment, 23 Years Later: Return to Zombie Island, was announced in 2025 as a direct sequel to the 2003 film, with an intended release in 2026.
