Not everyone who entered a film in the BlizzCon machinima contest could win, but there were certainly some great nominees this year. This piece was a 2007 nominee in the Drama category. When I first saw Dead Rain, I admit I was freaked at a couple of points during the film, but then again I am a big ol' whimp when it comes to zombie flicks. Check it out.

I have to admit, I jumped a few times out of the chair ^^ I get easily scared by these movies though I watch them anyway

This is really anticlimactic. They used cheesy cinema techniques to cover up for bad writing. Anyone can do the an AfterEffects... Don't be fooled.

I think this movie was really good till the end, because I'm a horror movie "buff" and honestly, that ending has been used so much and also the lame screamer at the very end ruined the mood entirely.

Please read the comments before posting one. The expansion isn't going to be released anytime soon. Expect a wait of at least 10 months.

The female voice acting in that was atrocious. Ugh! That movie receives no stars. It's slow, poorly written, and cliche. OMG UNDEAD ARE ZOMBIEZ NO WAI.

Thanks for profiling our movie. As this is only our second attempt at a WoW machinima movie, we've been very pleased by the reviews and reception it's gotten.
Just to clarify, we edited and produced the movie using Sonic Foundry Video Vegas. All the rain effects were done by hand in Photoshop and animated.
And, as fellow horror movie buffs, the entire feel of the movie was supposed to be a cheesy horror flick - I mean, "Dead Rain" is about as cheesy a name as you could get. We weren't going for high concept cinema here. :)
