    Simply amazing! Zombie, horror, action, decapitations, guns, gore, blood, blood, blood and LOTS OF BLOOD!

    Very fun and entertaining!

    Entertaining, violent, action packed, and funny. A pretty great more that starts off a bit slow but had me hooked for the most part. My biggest complaint is one of the zombified Yakuza members, specifically the frog-like crazy one. I had no idea what the point of that was, but it didn’t work.

    Excellent and most entertaining. Comedic relief, gore, violence, action… what more can a person ask for? Vaulted to one of my all time favorite zombie films.

    Since I have a different opinion compared to everyone else I feel a need to state mine for the populace. Mind you because this got so many good reviews I sat through this movie hoping something great would happen, it just never came. This is NOT a zombie movie. It is more of a bad Japanese action movie with a resurrection twist. The comedy was annoying and in no way helped the film, but only hurt it. The action was almost all missing; it seems low budget so they could not show much of anything. The blood and gore was so fake I thought this was made a good 30 years ago. There was enough shaky camera parts to show they didn’t care. Shaky cameras parts in a movie like this is uncalled for. The slow parts in Versus is more like an hour long wait for nothing to happen. No suspense, no waiting to see what will happen next, all you can think during these parts is I hope someone dies really fast and it never happens again. If this is the kind of movies you are into by all means watch it and I hop you like it. I however and I’m betting most people will hate this movie and regret ever watching it. It was so bad I think it gave me cancer.

    This is probably the shittiest zombie movie I have ever seen. The FX is so bad, you can’t tell the zombies from the non-zombies. No real gore, just bad make-up.
    The convoluted plot seems like its from a video game.
    The martial arts isn’t even that good. The bar has been set way too high for martial arts choreography for this movie to compete.
    What are we left with, then? Not much. Very boring. I couldn’t wait for this to end. In fact, I lost interest and stopped paying attention the last 20 minutes or so. I didn’t even care how the movie ended.
    Avoid.

Official Score: 5 / 5
