Junk (Asian Zombie Series pt 2)

Ive heard Junk (aka Shiryo-gari) referred to as a poor man's Versus. I understand the comparison but Junk is a pretty fun lil film in its own right. I originally bought this on VHS from Reckless 4 or 5 years ago but the tape was broken. I was thrilled when I ended up getting it on DVD from my fiance for Valentines day. Jam packed with homages to a plethora of american & italian genre films including Zombie,Re-animator,Aliens,Dawn of the Dead, & Reservoir dogs, Junk brings plenty of gore & explosions to the screen. Filled with undead shuffling out of Lucio Fulci's Zombie brought to life by the glowing green liquid from Re-animator vs the military and the mafia imitating scenes out of Aliens, Atsushi Muroga truly brings the rock! So screw all the negative ish you heard bout this title. If your a genre fan, asian zombies in particular, give this flick a chance...dont be an asshole.
