Our hero is , like many of 80's action hero types a Vietnam vet. He is in Miami, presumably to get a suntan than later on go to the club to snort cocaine and 80's dance to Duran Duran. Instead of that, our blonde beefcake hero gets set up by his Mob boss and goes to prison on death row. Now the movie changes into Death Warrant minus JCVD and the karate. The prisoners get experimented on by the government to make super soldiers. The plot changes again and the experimented prisoners turn into zombies. Then it turns into a prison break movie with zombies. John Saxon is in this and apparently directed it. However, the train was clearly off the track already and makes me wonder if this had a script or if it was four scripts spliced together. Overall this is an example of inept filmmaking and a whole lot of WTF until the end credits. The blonde lead guy was kind of cool, so I doubt Zombie Death House is his finest work. The movie is chock full of action movie cliches and is well... terrible. I did manage to laugh my way through this and the credits roll to the highlight of the film, the Dead Kennedy's classic "Chemical Warfare". Next time, I will skip the movie and put the DK's on my turntable instead.
