One Cut of the Dead (2017) Movie Review: Best to Come in Blind

Watch this movie right now:

It’s hard to review One Cut of the Dead because the less you know, the better the experience will be for you. This is one of those rare films where going in blind and not knowing anything makes all the difference. What we can say is that it’s easily one of the most fun and surprising zombie films we have seen in quite a long time. It will constantly break the mold and will completely catch you off guard with its quirkiness and revelations.


A film crew is shooting a low-budget zombie movie in an abandoned water filtration plant rumored to have ties to wartime human experiments. Things take a terrifying turn when they encounter actual zombies. But rather than stop production, the eccentric director insists the cameras keep rolling no matter what.


Is One Cut of the Dead perfect? Not exactly. The opening act feels rough and close to a B-movie in style, while the middle section will feel slow. But trust us as both are actually essential for what comes after. The film’s final act brilliantly ties everything together, revealing just how meticulously crafted the entire story and execution for the film really is. It’s chaotic, inventive, and wildly entertaining. This isn’t just another zombie movie but it is a clever and love letter to filmmaking itself. Few films manage to surprise us this much, and One Cut of the Dead is one that absolutely does. Embrace the quirks, accept the camp, and let it sweep you away.


Rating: 5 reels
