Synopsis / Plot

Four crooks rob a jewelery shop, then head for an abandoned factory where they plan to fence the goods to the Yakuza. Unfortunately, their chosen location happens to be the same place where American scientists had previously experimented on resurrecting the dead.

Junk is a Japanese Yakuza Zombie movie. Shot in 1999 and produced by Japan Home Video, it is essentially a remake of a Japanese mafia movie called “Score”, but this time with zombies getting in the way of being paid for the heist.

The movie pays homage to Re-Animator, Reservoir Dogs (just as “Score” did), and the original Dawn of the Dead. It stars Kaori Shimamura, Yuji Kisimoto, Nobuyuki Asano, Tate Gouta, and Osamu Ebara. It is released in North America by Unearthed Films.
