Rob Riggle’s Frank West can be seen taking Zombies apart in the official first trailer for “Dead Rising: Watchtower”. It looks gloriously cheesy in that B-Movie sort of way but it still seems worth the watch. The horror movie is an adaptation of Capcom’s balls-to-the-wall zombie mashing video game series which allows players to create all sorts of crazy zombie killing tools from ordinary items. 2006’s “Dead Rising” was released exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game console.

For those of you not in the know, the game centers on Frank West, a photojournalist who ends up trapped in a shopping mall in the fictional town of Willamette, Colorado, that is infested with zombies. Frank must defend himself from zombie attacks, rescue survivors, contend with crazed psychopaths, and stay alive while still attempting to uncover the truth behind the incident. Two sequels, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 3 were developed and released in September 2010 and November 22, 2013, respectively.
Riggle is joined by solid actors which include the likes of Jesse Metcalfe, Dennis Haysbert and Virginia Masden. Expect the Zombie bashing movie to hit Sony’s Crackle streaming service on March 27.
