Dead Rising: Watchtower takes place during a large-scale zombie outbreak. When a mandatory government vaccine fails to stop the infection from spreading, the four leads must evade infection while also pursuing the root of the epidemic, with all signs pointing to a government conspiracy. Politics, public paranoia, and media coverage play an important role in the story's narrative. (official distributor synopsis)

I was hoping for a more action-packed gore inferno, but without question, Dead Rising is a better made, bloodier and more entertaining horror film than the cerebral and boring home video Wyrmwood. It has a decent cast, it sticks to the game's template, with the array of inventive weaponry and a bunch of bad guys adding to the film's drive. I had a decent time, and if a better zombie horror movie doesn't come out this year, I'll up the rating. 65%.

The horror film Dead Rising is not outright scary, but it has moments that could be considered as such. It's not a film that is extra gory, but there is gore and it's not bad. Then there's the story, which I didn't actually find tragic. Jesse Metcalfe is sometimes probably too likable an actor, but in this case I didn't mind all that much. It’s good B-movie fun.
