Versus (2000) / Ultimate Versus (2004)

There are 666 portals that connect our world to the other side. In a forest in Japan is the 444th portal. It's there that Ryûhei Kitamura's low budget film takes place. It's about thirty minutes before it gets good, before it goes action, horror, comedy, spaghetti, Yakuza and Samurai bat-shit crazy, so have patience if you decide to give it a whirl. And remember it was made for the equivalent of just $10,000, so don't expect miracles.
Kitamura's ability to stage live action and make it look like it ought to be manga or anime might confuse people unfamiliar with the style.
The 'Ultimate Versus' has ten minutes of newly-filmed scenes, extra music and CGI blood. No film has ever benefited from extra CGI blood. If there wasn't enough food dye and corn syrup on the day, that's the way it should stay.
