Fourstrawberries Review of Dead Rising: Watchtower

Dead Rising: Watchtower (2015)

Great stuff, dark humour and zombie stomping action !!

[8/10 · 15 August 2015]

I loved this film. From almost the beginning a thread of dark humour followed the plot that kept a wry smile on my face. The usual servings of political, criminal and military bad guys who richly deserve a gruesome end, and the poor innocent zombies just being zombies. Toss in a miracle drug called "Zombex" (of course!) and a raft of home-made anti zombie weaponry of mixed effectiveness and you have a movie worthy of a night in. The survivor of the last zombie outbreak being interviewed on a live news show is hilarious, but those who think this was the only humour have missed a lot. Watch out for the zombie clown, genius!!!
