Yes, and Yes.
I enjoyed it.
I recommend going into it with very low expectations. It is a Hong Kong style (yes I know it is Japanese) over the top low budget gun-fu zombie swordplay often silly splatterfest.
Don't expect the greatest thing ever, but enjoy the ride. I consider it buy-worthy.

Versus question
Versus is a great fun ride, although some might find the constant posing of the characters a little annoying at times, in these instances it does play out like a true anime. The zombie violence is great and it actually shows some nice different angles to the usual ways of dispatching them.

I enjoyed it a lot but thought it went on too long. Still, worth checking out. After all, a samurai/zombie movie with attitude to burn?! What's not to like?

I found it merely average, overlong and a little dull at times. Don’t believe the hype on this one as it, and the poster campaign, would have you thinking this is way better than it actually is.
