Audience Member One of the Hypest movies I've seen in a while. It's doesn't have a plot that makes too much sense and it's average acted. It's not horrible though. It's fun. Just plain fun. Sometimes that's all a movie should be and this is. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member There is no Samurai Bikini Squad, people! Just one rather ordinary-looking woman who occasionally strips down to a bikini during a sword fight. There's also not much of a story, lousy acting, cliche after cliche, HORRIBLY cheezy CG (including CG blood, which is always a dead giveaway of a crummy flick) and no internal consistency. Characters suddenly exhibit supernatural powers when it might make the constant action more interesting, and other times they don't have those magical abilities. Bikini squad? Heck, no. There's more screen-time for a grossly obese, bleached-blond comic-relief guy than there are bikinis in this video game flick. Even the zombies are inconsistent. How can a Japanese zombie action flick wind up being so lame? Skip this one, even if you're a fan of Japanese exploitation flicks. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Too stupid and dull for me to get past the first half hour. With this premise, you'd think it'd be entertaining on some level but it somehow manages to take itself too seriously and isn't artful enough to be enjoyably cheesy. This film is crippled by it's lack of irony. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty dull film. They got the hot chicks right but the story, action, CG effects are all poor. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This maybe a bit biased but I loved this flim! I don't think it had a storyline just a few seconds talking and back to the guts and blood of ripping zombies apart with a sword. Its a nice film if you enjoy violent zombies movies. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I realize that video game-to-movie adaptations are never very good, but how do you make a film about a cowboy hat wearing, bikini clad warrior who chops up zombies with a sword... and making it utterly boring? Just a string of missed opportunities for titillation or wit or squalid gory glee, the whole thing just falls flat from the first shot. It didn't even excel in gratuity.
