**Dead Rising: Watchtower is cheesy, cliche, and low-budget, but somehow all that adds to the charm of this mediocre but still entertaining zombie flick.** Dead Rising: Watchtower is a low-budget zombie video game adaptation that, despite meager expectations, is actually entertaining. While it is incredibly cliche with some mediocre acting, Dead Rising's zombie vaccine plot line is a new angle on the tired zombie trope. I also enjoyed that the movie's ending doesn't tie up every loose end demanding a sequel. The references to the game are fun, too, with Rob Riggle playing Frank West from the games and characters fabricating bizarre weapons to fight off the zombie hordes. Once again, the cliches and tropes overflow in this movie, but despite all the flaws, Dead Rising: Watchtower didn't feel like a total waste of time. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but it's not a horrible option if you like B-quality zombie flicks and have some time to kill.
