Plot: In the mysterious Forest of Resurrection two convicts, a group of gangsters and a women meet in a tense standoff ending in the death of one of the men... however, when the dead man rises to fight anew, it becomes apparent all of them are in for more than they bargained for, as a bullet-filled, sword-slashing, fist-flying fight of good vs. evil takes shape. -- Chris Kavan

There is a lot of the action and gore and violence in this movie. If you are a fan of Japanese humor you will have many good laughs here too.

This is the kind of film where if it were done straight-faced, it probably would've been a disaster. Fortunately it has just the right amount of tongue in cheek humour to make it great fun. It has the same kind of mix of gore and laughs that the likes of A Chinese Ghost Story contains, and as a result comes across as a kind of Asian martial arts version of Evil Dead 2 or Peter Jackson's Bad Taste. Like those films, the budget was obviously tight, so you can spot some wires and there are a couple of …
