Dead Rising: Watchtower
Dove guardare Dead Rising: Watchtower
- Shaydeknight20 aprile 2026This 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.
