Zombies that can shoot guns :) Dig it! Story is pretty simple, immortals trying to get to another dimension, but use the blood of a certain someone to open the door. This is a beat em up. This is yet another Japanese movie with some extremely colorful characters. You have a small cast but every character sticks out with their own style and personality. The hero is cool and all of the bad guys he must face in this movie. Then there are the funny and stupid characters that are just hilarious. Even if none of these actors will win an award for their performance, each of the characters were unique and great: from the wussy stupid yakuza to the unbelievable poser cop! The characters are a very important part of the movie, if they were not all interesting and unique this movie would have probably been less interesting.
There are a lot of great fight scenes. I love the zombie stuff. It kind of looks low budget, but it is done well. I like B movies like this. If you compare it to something like the matrix it’s lame, but i don’t so. rent it! or if you are rich, buy it. I give this a 3 and a half out of 5. Click here to buy VERSUS on DVD.
This is going to sound, erm, strange. Coming from an artist in this scene. But i honestly only like 2 bands from the more recent form of EBM and industrial. Wumpscut being the first, and Covenant being the second. For me, this is the most solid wumpscut cd he ever put out. Not one bad song. From start to finish it delivers.
Wumpscut knew how to make very pretty songs like, is it you, and angel. I’ll stick to this lp, even though he has many other lps that are very good as well. I love how he can sound so caustic, and then so beautiful as well. Something so few artists in this scene can pull off.
My favorite wumpscut song of all is “IS IT YOU”. This song is so amazing. I love how the song builds in this kind of depressing trance, with powerful metallic beats with big snares. I love the swelling sound in the background that hypnotizes you. But the chorus, wow. I mean I only wish I could come up with a chorus that catchy. I always liked the frantic pace of his songs. Memorable song structures, music and melody. This is not mindless yelling and ranting.
I still see wumpscut as the brother act to Velvet Acid Christ. We both have our own unique sounds. I still respect rudy very much through all these years. We both hit the scene around the same time. Both are dark and evil and kind of industrial. Wumpscut and VAC can both make super pretty songs that you cannot expect to hear on an industrial lp.
I also love the track war. So powerful and menacing. I love the creepy baseline and the noisy percussive loop. Not many bands in the scene can match the evil and intensity that wumpscut emits in most of his releases, especially his older work, especially this lp. The perfect blend of mean and evil, elegance and beauty. Rudy can really show off emotion in a way that doesn’t sound contrived, rehearsed, or shallow. It sounds very polished and pro. His vocals are so strong. My favorite tracks are, IS IT YOU, WOMB, WAR, EMBRYODEAD, SLAVE TO EVIL. I give this a 5 out of 5. and then some. Buy now! Click Here to buy EMBROYDEAD by WUMPSCUT.
