Versus (2000): It's a Japanese Evil Dead II - it has the Raimi-cam, the humor-comic vib, and the production values (it feels like it's shot in one acre of Japanese forest). It has the same blood-love that I first saw in Kill Bill I (the Japanese love geysers of blood, although so did Raimi), but just like I love the shots of Ash with his chainsaw and shotgun, Versus has the hero with his Katana and 50 calibre sniper rifle.
It's a cheezy film, though, with clear continuity and story problems (new facts keep being introduced, exposition is fat and lazy). But if the phrase "Japanese Evil Dead II" makes your mouth water, see this film.
