Thanks for the memories!

Absolutely the worst movie.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I would not say its a bad movie because clearly the team worked hard u can tell that. But the movie does start to bore after halftime and that really hurt my brain. Its a good attempt but improvements could be made. Watch it only if u have nothing to do and wanna pass some time like when you are traveling or something. This movie loses its grip really soon and that kind of disappointed me. I saw GREAT reviews and decided to watch it but no I wanna say its a one time watch but that is actually way more than it actually deserves My father could not sit for 5 minutes to watch it. So the end statement is - Not a bad movie but not good either.

...and luckily I also quite like a bad one, too. Which is just as well, because 'Dead Rising' isn't that good (but then it's not that bad, either). In case you didn't know, it's based on a computer game. And, if you didn't know that, you probably did know that movies that are based on computer games never really fair that well.You have a city. You have zombies. You have survivors trying to get out. If you're expecting something with tension, heart and character development (and zombies, of course) then stick to the Walking Dead. However, if you just want to see zombies sliced up by weird and wonderful (and very sharp) home-made weapons, then watch this. Part of the enjoyment of the computer game was that you could 'craft' weapons by sticking a lawnmower on the end of a toaster (or something like that) and then mowing your way through the undead hordes. Well, that's basically what the film does, too.The characters are a clichéd and the story uninspired, yet I can't quite bring myself to dislike it. It's the sort of film that I'm pretty sure I'll forget shortly and then remember in a few years time and watch again. No, I won't buy it, but I reckon that if I can find it for free on Netflix or whatever then I'll happily sit through it again and chuckle here and there.If I had to say one majorly negative thing about it, it would be that it never really seemed to know what it wanted to be. One minute it's quite 'knowingly cheesy' with its silly antics – the next it's trying to be all dark and conspiracy orientated.If you can stomach – yet another – zombie film that's simple 'popcorn fun' then you could give this one a go (especially if you don't have to pay for it!).

Based on the best-selling video games by Capcom, Dead Rising: Watchtower by director Zach Liposvsky brings us an new and original story that follows a young reporter's struggle for survival against a viscous zombie outbreak. In a race against time, he's forced to team up with a couple of strangers in hopes of escaping a quarantine zone before the government's scheduled city-wide purge takes effect.Within the first 2 minutes, we get to see our hero use a toaster, fan blade and car muffler as weapons to fend off a gun-wielding zombie cop. I think it's safe to say that, like fine wine, this film's definitely an acquired taste. I'm certainly not ashamed to admit that I had a bloody good time, and as a fan of the original games, I was unquestionably impressed with how true to the source material Dead Rising: Watchtower actually was. From a buzzsaw-equipped sledgehammer to a shotgun-machete, the weapons are borderline insane yet completely and utterly amazing to see in real life. Even the infamous "Zombrex" medicine plays a part in the story, which was also a nice nod to all the fun Dead Rising games.I guess it paid off that the franchise owners from Capcom refused to let the director bring this to life without first proving he's a genuine fan of the games by playing one in front of them. He clearly passed the test because this is probably the best video game adaption to film I have ever seen to date. What sets this zombie flick from the horde, however, is its actors and attention to detail towards the props, sets and gory makeup effects. As a fan of campy B movies, I can't deny that a large portion of them offer next to no acting talent, but this certainly isn't the case with Dead Rising's awesome cast. Featuring Dallas' Jesse Metcalfe, Bates Motel's Keegan Connor Tracey and 24's Dennis Haysbert, this is one TV star-studded cast that doesn't disappoint. Even the great Rob Riggle makes a side appearance as the original game's cocky photojournalist, Frank West, providing some hilarious newscast social satire. To top it off, the cinematography was unexpectedly smooth and includes some very cool points of view through the camera work. What stood out the most, though, was a remarkably long and totally impressive single take which follows a brutally epic zombie-killing spree.Since the film is sprinkled with bits of dark comedy and campy violence, there's no doubt in my mind that most critics will love to pick this Crackle original feature apart with genuine hate. For the cult classic enthusiast, however, this may just be the perfect storm of hilarious insanity. Flaws aside, at no point does the film ever try to restrain itself from being a glorified B movie and fans of the games are sure to eat it up, even more, because of it. Gleefully self-aware of all its over-the-top antics, Dead Rising: Watchtower is one love letter to the fans that's sure not to disappoint!

I consider myself a big fan of zombies and will pretty much take in all forms of entertainment they are in. A lot what they're involved in is really bad low budget films but that doesn't bother me none because there is an irresistible charm for me when it concerns bad movies. However, "Dead Rising: Watchtower" is a little different because it's a feature that takes place in a video game franchise I really enjoy.The film might not be the most memorable or the most technically brilliant film put together but I did find it mildly enjoyable. It suffers from all the same follies that most low budget zombie films suffer from—like weak makeup, awful looking CG blood and acting that just barely cuts the mustard. This feature also suffers from a run time that feels a bit too long for the story and it makes for a lot of dragging and it starts to take itself way too seriously towards the end. However, there are some fun moments that make the film better than most video game adaptations and a lot of low budget zombie features. The nods and winks to the game are amusing and Rob Riggle's small role as Frank West easily is the best thing about the film.It's definitely not the best zombie film I've seen in my life but it's entertaining enough that I wasn't bored.
