Synopsis by Mark Deming

A pleasant day trip turns into a blood-spattered nightmare in this extreme horror vehicle from actor and director Tak Sakaguchi. A happy family is taking a trip to the country when their mini-van is sidelined by a pair of angry criminals intent upon taking the vehicle and any valuables inside. The crooks lead the family into what looks like an abandoned village in the woods, but they quickly discover they picked the wrong place to pull a carjacking -- this section of the forest is patrolled by Yoroi, an undead samurai who has not lost his talent for killing even though he's been deceased for quite some time. Yoroi doesn't distinguish between heroes and villains, and soon everyone involved is fighting for their lives against the undying warrior with the deadly sword. Yoroi: Samurai Zonbi (aka Youoi: The Samurai Zombie) was an official selection at the 2009 New York Asian Film Festival.
