In einer Kleinstadt in den USA greift ein hochansteckendes Virus um sich, das Menschen in blutrünstige Zombies verwandelt! Mit einem Medikament soll eine Verbreitung des Virus verhindert werden, doch erweist sich dieses schon bald als wirkungslos. Während die Stadt allmählich von Zombies überrannt wird und sich eine mordende Biker-Gang das Chaos zu Eigen macht, kommen in der Bevölkerung erste Zweifel auf, ob die Epidemie von der US-Regierung nicht sogar selbst ausgelöst und befeuert wurde. Inmitten dieses postapokalyptischen Albtraums kämpft Reporter Chase Carter ums nackte Überleben und hält die Weltöffentlichkeit via Handy auf dem Laufenden. Mit ungeahnten Folgen ...
Regie Zach Lipovsky

    This movie never quite figures out what it wants to be. As an adaptation of the Dead Rising games, it makes a noticeable effort to import key game mechanics into a visual format. The walled city, the single escape route, the improvised weapon crafting, and the use of a drug to suppress infection are all recognizable game elements. On paper, that looks like fidelity. In practice, it just doesn't translate well. The weapon-building in particular drifts into elaborate, almost silly contraptions that feel detached from any sense of urgency or plausibility. In a film context, the obvious solution of swinging around a bat or a machete is consistently ignored in favour of gimmickry. As a zombie film, it fares no better. It lacks the tension required to be a good horror film, the excess required to be a splatter-filled grindhouse feature, or any thematic weight that might justify a slower, more reflective approach. It gestures toward all three without committing to any, which leaves it tonally flat. The performances do little to elevate the material. Jesse Metcalfe carries the film in the expected mould of the generic hunky lead, competent but indistinct. Meghan Ory is similarly serviceable, but just barely. She should probably stick to being the queen of crappy Hallmark Christmas movies. No one in the film does poorly, but there is no attempt to push beyond the baseline. What remains is a film that is mediocre in every way. It borrows from a game without capturing what makes that game engaging, and it occupies the zombie genre without contributing meaningfully to it. The result is just a dull and boring waste of time.

    The humor doesn't execute as well as it should, especially in comparison to the games. It's ultimately a cringeworthy experience.
