A kinetic, visually inventive action-horror spectacle that blends yakuza crime, supernatural resurrection, and samurai-style combat into a gleefully violent, surreal fever dream.

A group of ruthless gangsters, an unknown woman and an escaped convict have met, in The Forest of Resurrection, the 444th portal to the other side. Their troubles start when those once killed and buried in the forest come back from the dead.
