Prepare for a nonstop assault of zombie-slaying action when DEAD RISING: ENDGAME debuts on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital December 6 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The action-packed sequel to Dead Rising: Watchtower chronicles the return of Jesse Metcalfe (“Dallas,” “Desperate Housewives”) as Chase Carter, an investigative journalist haunted by his past and now hunted by the military. After narrowly escaping a zombie quarantine, Chase—along with a group of dubious allies—slices, hacks and bludgeons his way through the zombie hordes that plague every corner of the abandoned city. As they unravel a government conspiracy, the heroes will have to confront their most gruesome nightmares in order to save millions of innocent lives. Based on the worldwide videogame phenomenon, the film arrives the same day as the highly anticipated Dead Rising 4 video game, marking the 10th anniversary of the hugely popular franchise.
