Crackle’s DEAD RISING: WATCHTOWER

January 29, 2015 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Crackle.com has produced an original made-for-digital film, DEAD RISING: WATCHTOWER, based on the popular game franchise.

The movie looks to play itself firmly tongue-in-cheek, which I think works really well for zombies in a movie format (such as ZOMBIELAND) but not so well in TV (Z NATION). Conversely, I think achieving the right balance needed to do zombies as a serious drama works better in TV (THE WALKING DEAD) but not as well in movies, though there are a few notable exceptions (such as 28 DAYS LATER).

Anyway, it looks like fun. Check out the trailer below. The movie will be available for streaming March 27, 2015.
