Versus is a zombie movie that pivots away from the undead outbreaks and doomsday plotlines of the films and shows by George Romero, Lucio, Fulci, and Robert Kirkman. The undead seen in Versus is the result of bodies buried on ground that is sacred to some of the Earth’s most evil forces.
It’s revealed in Versus that there are 666 doorways on the planet that connect it to the dark realm. One of these portals was discovered in Japan in the 10th century. The movie shows the 444th portal in the Forest of Resurrection as a samurai fights off a legion of zombies, only to be killed by a priest who arrives with soldiers.
