Versus (DVD)

...none of the characters in Versus actually have any names) and the girl, who have run off into the forest to escape a similar fate. But the forest does exactly as its name entails - a place with peculiar powers in resurrecting the dead. The gangster's folly is soon realised seeing as they've been using the grounds of the forest to dispose of their previous victims, who are now starting to crawl out from their crude graves before the gangster's very ...

The concept of samurai, Yakuza and zombies all facing off against each other in one great blood-thirsty free-for-fall is rather unique and screams of ballsy out-and-out entertainment of the Evil Dead 2 variety (something which has become distinctly lacking in recent years).
