One Cut of the Dead
One Cut of the Dead
A low-budget film about zombies soon features the best cast money could not buy, but the problem is that the new actors are not exactly getting along with the crew. Everyone involved is soon receiving a lesson in the merits of perseverance, the preciousness of family bonds and of course the dangers of the living dead.

I want to tell you why this movie is amazing. I really do. But if I say too much, I’ll ruin everything—and you deserve the ride. 🧟♂️🎬🧡
So here’s what I’ll say:
Just watch it.
Then keep watching it.
Think it’s over? It’s not.
Think you know what’s going on? You don’t.
Think you’re watching a bad zombie movie? LOL. Just wait. 😏
This film is a love letter to filmmaking, creativity under pressure, and the pure chaos of trying to pull off something impossible with heart, sweat, and duct tape. The behind-the-scenes reveals? Genius. The pacing? Bold. The final act? Chef’s kiss of emotional payoff and absolute cinematic joy. 👏😭
I don’t just love this movie—I envy everyone who got to make it. My greatest regret in life might just be not living in Japan at the time and somehow ending up on this set. It looks like it was hard, hilarious, and totally unforgettable.
It’s not just a movie. It’s a celebration of why we even bother to make movies in the first place.
