A pair of escaped convicts meet up with a group of gangsters by a remote forest road. After an arguement over a girl the mobsters have kidnapped, shots are fired and one of the gangsters is killed. The standoff is cut short, however, when the dead man suddenly springs to life and starts trying to kill his former friends. The zombie eventually goes down in a hail bullets, but their problems aren't over. It seems the gangsters have been using this forest to dispose of of their victims, all of whom are now looking to settle some old scores. Even if they get through this mess, there is still the question of why they've arranged to meet the convicts out here, and why they've brought along the girl. How are they connected to the dead bodies coming back to life?
I liked this movie for it's originality as i have never seen a Japanese zombie/martial arts film. So very odd, stuck on an island with plenty of eerie feeling about it. One to watch if you are fed up of the norm.

I note that you've submitted this as a DVD review, but you've said nothing about the DVD itself. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you update this, or if you change this to a "Film Only" submission, let me know and I'll re-rate.

Advantages: Excellent action, great concept, gore by the bucket load. Disadvantages: Far too long to be of benefit to the limited concept, gets dull when things are explained.

Review of Versus (DVD)
Advantages: That "Hell in the Cell" fight, other genuine classic fights also, plenty of DVD extras Disadvantages: Maybe too brutal for some hence the 18 rating, no Death Match fights from Japan
