Versus (blu ray) standard edition

A truly mind-blowing extravaganza of way-out set pieces, awe-inspiring fight sequences and deadly cunning zombies, Versus is a blur of ultra-kinetic violence that will leave you gasping for breath.

There are 666 portals to the other side, and somewhere in Japan lies the home of the 444th. It is here that Prisoner KSC2-303 escapes from his fellow inmates to rendezvous with a group of men who will lead him to safety.

After he realises that the price of his freedom is the death of a female hostage, he refuses to comply with his rescuers plans and blood is spilled. But when, in the aptly named Forest of Resurrection, long dead yakuza fighters come to life to avenger their own deaths, a battle against these living dead assassins ensues. Soon his quest for freedom becomes a desperate fight to simply stay alive.
