One Cut of the Dead
A low-budget film crew about to shoot a zombie movie at a desolate warehouse is suddenly attacked by real zombies. The cruelly uncompromising director forces his resilient producer, faithful male lead, and feisty ingénue to confront the living dead head-on for the sake of capturing it all in one shot, with no consideration for their lives. Then it gets really crazy. Purposely built on clichés, One Cut of the Dead is one of the most original genre-bending exploits in years, an exuberant homage that exudes pure passion for filmmaking.
