Run Time:
96 minutes
Director Higurashi—“fast, cheap, and average”—is shooting a zombie movie with an amateur crew at an abandoned building, where legend says human experiments were once conducted. When the crew is suddenly (though not so shockingly) attacked by real zombies, the director insists they keep filming. After a 37-minute blood-filled continuous take, this “film-within-a-film” takes an unexpected turn, ultimately becoming a hilarious satire on low-budget genre filmmaking. ONE CUT OF THE DEAD is simply the most original horror comedy out there. This hysterically clever and playful flick holds a couple of (very) wild cards, playing them at just the right moment. And precisely when you think you know where it’s headed, this fresh take on the classic zombie thriller plays its final card. Whether you are a devoted horror fan or not, this is one you do not want to miss. Who would have ever thought a zombie apocalypse could be so much fun? (In Japanese with subtitles) —C.R.
