Editor's note: Camaren was right, I had no idea that this Dead Rising flick existed. But once I watched the trailer, I knew I had to see the entire thing. It looks terrible, and I can't wait to see it. – Aaron
Keiji Inafune, the head of research and development for Capcom, has directed a movie called "Zombrex: Dead Rising Sun" which is based upon the universe of the game Dead Rising (albeit loosely). Keiji being a fan of B horror movies, wrote and directed this wonderfully-bad movie.
If you have played the game you will easily pick up on the slight references to the psychopaths and how the protagonists behave, which is really cool. it's no summer blockbuster, but it carries a really good message of human nature, and it's super-entertaining — you can even enjoy it if you know nothing of the game. If nothing else, you can watch the episodes for their hilarious dubbing.
Still not convinced? Please feast on the trailer, which I've included below for your viewing pleasure.

Find out how to watch the rest of the series after the jump.
But the reason I'm writing this is because a lot of people (at least ones I know) don't have a clue this exists. AND IT'S FREE. Currently episodes 1-3 are available online and 4-5 (available today) are to be released on the official website.
If you just can't wait for the exciting conclusion to the series, Xbox Live gets them exclusively ahead of time. You can check the release dates on the website. (There are eight episodes total) as of today six and seven are available on Live, with number eight available on the 25th of August on Xbox Live (They're available on the Internet a week later).
