If you have played dead rising then you would rate this movie. Because yea some parts don't make sense but you kinda have to think about how the game is so then those things would make sense. No spoilers but I just think that the rating of this movie is way too low, I think it's because those people haven't played the game

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.

It is just a movie to me.. you don't feel the scare & excitement. The effects were not that real. The actors were not serious they just act especially the TV presenter & that writer setting next to her also the sequence of the situations are expected and boring unlike other movies. Also they just want to get rid of the actors in a very old fashion way (for example the mother and her daughter she didn't care about losing her daughter in the beginning of the movie but then she showed later that she wants her so bad. Also that man one who killed by nife. Also the reporter who took pictures of the Asian family without showing some tears and when they killed she cried) !?!?

At an event where people who have been bitten by zombies are waiting for their anti-zombie injections (which they must periodically take) a reporter, out to make a name for himself in the news business, has an argument with his camera woman over his exploitive and sensationalistic idea of news reporting, and they go their separate ways. She to leave the scene, and he to sneak into a tent to take secret pictures where medical personnel are administering the anti-zombie injection for those who have been bitten. He's present when --for some reason-- the drug does not work and all hell breaks loose. On the run for dear life, he teams up with a hot brunette of the model variety with whom he had an embarrassing encounter earlier to the amusement of his camera woman.Though this movie is not an "outright" comedy (one with a lot of blunt silliness and slapstick, for example), it is no doubt a horror comedy; played a bit more seriously and deadpan. It has some amateurish flaws of execution, but is more forgivable since it is a comedy and you can't take it seriously anyway. As well, you want to root for people who aren't part of the Hollywood establishment who make a decent effort to entertain you. The main flaw, I thought, was those narrow escapes or close calls where the zombies or bad guys clearly had ample opportunity to bite or do bad things but the would-be victim got away. Some of them doing so after the camera cuts away to another scene during the attack or threat and returns to see them still unharmed.Nonetheless, this movie is still entertaining and therefore worth your time. Watch out for the live news broadcast with the anchorwoman and her celebrity guest zombie expert. It is reminiscent to me of something you would see on Saturday Night Live, if you ever watched that show. It is well done and funny without seeming to try to be. At the end, this movie seems to promise a sequel. I look forward to it. Love, Boloxxxi.
