The story is pretty simple : bad guys into rape, invade home, torture and kill the inhabitant than proceed to robbing them. They get into this house where the father is a scientist working on zombies for a big corporation. He sets the zombies lose in his house to get the bad guys dead but gets infected. One of the bad guys is having a guilty conscience and help the mother and the eldest kid escape while the youngest is hiding. Pursuit, fight, death follow suit which jump start the zombie apocalypse.

This is a movie that is searching for its own identity. The thieves describe in the synopsis are more the criminals from "A Serbian Film" : they are forcing couples into conjugal rape while making there children watch. The one that is having a conscience and is not into this just does a 180 degree at the end... After getting back to save the mother a second time around, he simply decides to rape her. He than grabs a rock and smash her skull to smithereens for absolutely no reason...

The mother seems to forget about her kids rather quickly. She jumps out of a moving vehicle to go back to the house, but she forget about him after facing the first obstacle. Also, she trust a complete stranger when he tells her he saw her eldest kid get away but does nothing to inquire as to his whereabouts nor the general direction he went. She's just cool with it... And yes, that stranger is the rapey murderous dude from earlier...

Beside A Serbian Film, there is a lot of elements of the movie reminiscent of Resident Evil. The zombies are being developed in someone's basement. The scientist uses the zombies to try and save is family, there is a serum that precipitates some mutations from the virus that William Birkin, I'm sorry I meant John Pontecorvo, inject himself, there a company special task force that eliminate people, and there is an outbreak in Raccoon City...

Well, it's not mentionned Raccoon City but still... The locations and movement is one of the main issue of the movie. You see slow moving zombies forcing the characters to change there path, but just moment before they were far ahead of them and kept the distance by running. Even in the house, I was having trouble to grasp the distance between 2 places and the general disposition of the rooms.

With the spacial incongruity, the erratic behaviour of the character and the things they borrowed from Resident Evil, we are presented an uninspired movie that brings nothing to the genre.

The cover art (both versions) is really fantastic. Props to the artists on those. In regards to Dead House/Beautiful People you may only like this if you enjoy films like Hostel, Funny Games, or A Serbian Film. The movie works hard to make you feel unpleasant, and for that reason many people will not enjoy it.

Positive notes: Effects were fairly decent. Zombies looked interesting. Practical effects always a plus Acting was acceptable, though a bit hammy (save for the soldiers at the end sounded like voice actors right out of the original Resident Evil)

Negative notes: Despite being advertised and listed on a number of sites as a zombie or monster movie, it is not. At least, not for 90% of the film.

Who the heck make zombies/experiments in their basement with NO security and no safe rooms? You have the old cliched car won't start crap. The bad turned good guy turns back bad for no dang reason. Somehow a 30 year old woman have a 18 year old son(did good ole dad get her pregnant at 12?). In a zombie outfarking break it's really a good time to get mad at your mom for maybe cheating on your dad. In this same outbreak it's a good time to get mad at your brother and try to kill him instead of trying to get to safety. One poster on here was on the money when he/she said this is a Incel flick.
