One Chanbara (2008)

Seen in. Disappointing.

[quote=“HungFist”]OneChanbara (Japan, 2008) – 1,5/5

3 + 2 = 1,5. Hmm. It’s got a school girl zombie, topples lady zombie, and a zombie eating intestines. It’s also got a katana wielding bikini girl as the main character, and a seifuku cutie as her opponent. Yet it barely works. Gô Ohara’s action design borrows from Versus and Death Trance (in which he also worked) but does everything with notably less success. The director (Yôhei Fukuda) shows little talent, and the actors are so wooden they don’t even do justice to the cardboard characters. CGI is plenty and very bad, but actually works to the benefit of the film. The core idea - swords, girls and zombies - is also fun enough to entertain even if the pic fails on other areas. Oh, and this is a video game adaptation.[/quote]
