great little horror/action flick, set against the backdrop of a haunted forest in japan. i must admit, i was instantly drawn in by those elusive online trailers for the film. when i finally saw it though, i was a little disappointed with a few choices that the director allowed for the actors. there are a certain number of goofy elements in the film that were just not supposed to be goofy. such as the posing yakuza guys. they looked more like a japanese n'sync rather than baddies. and the whole vibe that i was getting from the film was the same i get from watching amateur, guerrila style short films my friends make. the problem is that they don't work with a $400, 000 budget. yet, they make the exact same quality films...curious! but i don't want you running in terror from this film if you get the opportunity to see this flick. it really is a great popcorn munching, beer guzzling, screaming at the tv kind of film that has a gore/action level tha, suffice it to say, is quite delicious. it's still a decent flick, just don't go in expecting an epic and you'll probably be blown away by Versus!
