Synopsis: Set in the present where a group of ruthless gangsters, an unknown woman and an escaped convict have met, unwittingly, 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, with the assistance of the evil Sprit that has also come back, come back from ages past, to claim his prize. The final standoff between Light and Dark has never been so cunning, so brutal and so deadly. This is where old Japanese Samurai mysticism meets the new world of the gangster and the gun. Gruesome, bloody and positively bold.

There are 666 portals that

connect this world to the other side.

These are concealed

from all human beings.

But there are some

who notice their existence.

And some are willing to open the door

and try to gain the power of darkness...

Somewhere in Japan exists

the 444th portal, known as...

The Forest of Resurrection.

It was a long time ago when the

evil soul uncovered its existence...

This way.

You better be right.

It's okay.

Just trust me.

Where are they?

Don't worry. They're coming.

I'm not worried.

I just don't trust you.

Do as you please then.

It's quite a big deal

for a pickup, isn't it?

Where's the other car?

We gotta wait for him.

Then we'll leave.

Are you serious?

It's not safe here.

It doesn't matter.

We have specific orders from him.

Look, the roads

could be blocked by now.

We gotta go!

What about roadblocks?

That's not our concern.

Hey, you...

Shut up, what the hell

are we doing here anyway?

No, you shut up.

An order is an order, stop whining.

To hell with those orders!

Do you know what we

had to go through for this?

Besides, this place

gives me the creeps.

Don't bother.

These a**holes can't

do anything but follow orders.

What?

On your way to a party?

Or are you trying

to promote hoodlums?

You...

Better watch your mouth.

After all this running around...

...all we get is

a useless bunch of punks.

Count me out.

I see.

So shall I give

you some time to rest?

Like forever?

Stop!

We were also ordered

to keep this guy alive.

Shut up!

Come on, come on, come on!

I don't understand

why this one is so special.

But you have

to follow orders too, right?

Don't be so nosy.

Wait a minute!

Calm down, all right?

You'd better be quiet too.

Don't be so tense.

Fighting wouldn't do

any good here, right?

That goes for you too.

We'll let you get out of here

when he comes, so be patient.

You know what?

I really hate waiting.

Stop it for now. It's not a good time.

That's right...

There's still...

After he gets here...

We'd better get out of here quick.

No matter how many times

we come here, I hate this place.

It's ominous.

A forest to the southwest

is an ominous feng shui sign.

Oh, really?

Meeting with you

guys is ominous enough.

I told you to shut up.

Don't start again!

Hey!

Bring the girl.

Hey, what's with this girI?

Who knows?

The order was to kidnap

her and bring her here with us.

One stupid girl and one a**hole...

What the hell is he

planning to do with those two?

I don't have the slightest

idea what he's thinking!

Hey, come on.

He must have some plan.

Hey, wait.

I'm taking no part in kidnapping.

What?

What did you say?

Five men on one girl,

you must be proud of yourself.

Hey, let her go

and take off your toupee.

Shut the f*** up!

Do you know who you're talking to?

Perhaps you're misunderstanding

the situation, hmm?

A crook like you could be spending the rest

of your life in jail if we weren't here.

So just shut your

smart-ass mouth up!

Here's the thing... I'm a feminist.

What're you gonna do about it?

Hey, you, let her go now.

Watch it.

I'm telling you,

you should just let her go now.

Hey, are you crazy or what?

Don't make me tell you again.

Let her go right now

or you'll pay for it later.

So what are you going

to do now, tough guy?

Where did they go?

It's scary here.

I'll kill that guy.

No, you shouldn't do that.

If you do, he'll become

a monster like them.

I don't get it...

You know what?

Then I can kill the bastard twice.

That's nonsense.

This is not good.

Let's get out of here.

Don't be stupid.

We can't let them get away!

We have bigger problems, don't we?

Look, this is your fault, isn't it?

It's not just that. Think about it.

Thinking isn't going

to do a bit of good.

They were not dead...

This can't be happening.

We'd better catch

them before he gets here.

Yeah...

You're right.

Why did you do that?

You didn't have to kill that man.

What's your problem?

If you did something like that,

you're no different from those men.

They're bastards. I'm not.

I'm sorry...

Thanks for helping me.

I didn't mean to help you.

They just piss me off.

So what are we gonna do?

Didn't you have a plan?

Plans always change.

What are you talking about?

They're going to kill us!

But they were

definitely dead.

Hey.

So why were you in jaiI?

Shut up. Let's go.

Something's not right with this forest.

Like what?

People are everywhere,

but you can't hear a thing.

Nobody's here.

Yes, they are.

What makes you think that?

I've had a strong sixth

sense ever since I was little.

Hey.

Hey...

Wait.

What's wrong with you?

Where the hell do

you think you're going?

Stay back.

This man...

What are you doing?

Hey, stop!

Don't do that!

Hey, wait!

Let that man rest in peace!

I don't believe this...

You're crazy.

Let's go.

We'll take their car.

Stop it!

Let's just go.

They must still be around here.

Something's wrong here.

That again?

I can feel it!

Those guys back there...

There is something here!

Hey...

What?

They were

definitely dead,

but they came back to life.

So what?

The dead can come back to life here.

So what are you saying?

We've

been here over and over...

And...

The ones we killed...

We buried them!

They are supposed

to be buried right here!

Where the f*** are they now?

Where are they?

I didn't mean to...

I just...

Come!

Let go of me!

The game is over.

What are those monsters?

I thought they were your playmates.

So do you want me to kill you?

Then you can be my next playmate!

Don't kill this one!

You have orders!

Hey, you've got the wrong man.

I don't care.

Just let the guy go.

That's why you're

nothing more than a punk.

Wow.

This is getting complicated.

Hey, she's been taken away.

Huh?

What are you talking about?

That runt shot

my arm and took the girl.

Jesus, the both of you!

You're both crazy!

Are you turning back now?

I'll play with you later.

So just wait here.

You just let him go?

I'm disappointed in you.

Don't you get it?

It'll be easier if we let

that guy find the girl for us.

Huh?

We'll get them both

after they're together.

Now I see!

You're using your brain!

Keep both of them alive...

Those were his orders exactly.

Oh, too bad.

It doesn't matter anymore.

He's going to die anyway.

I'll be in charge from now on.

What?

It's all been planned.

He's just coming here to die.

Don't fool with me!

What was that?

It'd be a pain in the ass

if you became a monster,

so die slowly.

Are you okay?

Yeah...

But this place is f***ed up.

Nothing can stop me...

Not even those monsters...

Don't worry.

Come on, run faster!

Bastards...

Are you okay?

It hurts...

Hey...

Your hand!

They took it...

Those bastards!

Damn it!

We'll make them pay for this.

Shouldn't we report back?

No...

We'll search for them

and destroy them!

But...

We don't know where they are.

I know what they're thinking.

They must've taken the mountain

paths instead of going down the highway.
