Mortals from all walks of life try to play God in this zombie opus comprising three tales framed by a common theme of reviving the dead. Feudal Japan is the milieu for the first story, which chronicles two men fighting the living dead. The second yarn follows a distaff American gumshoe probing a rash of grave robbings in 1948. Set in the post-apocalyptic future, the last saga finds vampires and werewolves facing off -- at the government's behest.
