"Many believe that there are 666 gates to Hell hidden here on earth. Legend says that somewhere in Japan's 'Forest of Resurrection' lies the 444th gate. Escaped prisoner KSC2-303 is doubled crossed by his rescuers and flees into the mysterious forest. Within the trees, dead Yakuza come back to life to seek vengeance on all living souls. Prisoner KSC2-303 must fight his pursuers, the police and Yakuza zombies to stay alive."

So I watched 'Versus' on Monday night, and yes, it is everything that the above blurb suggests that it is. It's like a samurai, kung fu version of Evil Dead. I watched it with subtitles so Versus (Director\'s Cut)no doubt I missed many of the intricacies of the plot, but still, it was entertaining in a bizarre way. Absurdly violent, nonsensical in places, and derivative in others. Yes I love zombie movies, yes I love crappy martial arts movies, but I don't love annoying crappy tokenistic love interests, and guess what? This movie has one! Therefore it can only be awarded 2 1/2 pickles.

LEAVE A RESPONSE



I like it when people leave comments. It makes me feel warm inside. What I don't like is when I receive comments from people with robot sounding names like "free web hosting" or "North Carolina Real Estate". Names like these will trigger the SPAM alarm at Pickles HQ, and likely get deleted. In summary, comments that look like an attempt to do nothing more than build back links will be deleted. Thanks for your understanding ~ swollenpickles.
