One Cut of the Dead (2017)
There is a LOT of hype surrounding this Japanese zombie movie, so much so that I almost went into it expecting the worst like every other time a film is ‘the best movie since...’ and doesn’t really deliver.
One Cut starts with a virtuoso one camera, one take 37 minute scene which is the mini story of a film director making a zombie film in an abandoned industrial setting. However, the location he chose has an urban legend which the director uses to his advantage and unleashes the real zombies for some added realism!
After the scene ends we flash back a month into the rehearsals and production of the scene we just saw and I’ll do you all an injustice if I go into further detail so I won’t.
One of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time, definitely check it out, I loved it!!
