    Made for $25,000...and earned back $25,000,000+.....not bad!

    If you don't like violent zombie films, you might still enjoy "One Cut of the Dead". Sure, it has blood (as you'd expect) but it is more tongue in cheek and silly as opposed to being gross or gratuitous. So, if you are a parent, you could let older kids watch this one with no serious concerns about your kids becoming warped for life!

    The story is a confusing one. It's kind of like a movie within a movie...within a movie. Instead of explaining the exact plot, I'll just insist that you watch it and don't worry if you are confused....stick with it.

    The movie is clever, funny and offers something new and different. And, with so many young filmmakers making zombie films, this one actually offers you some things that are unique and well thought out. Well worth seeing....and a great example of cheap but effective film making.

    watch to the end, then rewatch it again

    When I started watching it, I thought it was one of the cheapest, stupidest zombie movies that I had ever seen (and I saw really a lot!). I continued hoping it could get any better, and it does, BIG WAY. The end reveals this movie as one of the best homages ever made to the art of cinema and an hilarious celebration of human creativity.

    A Film of Three Halves...

    Absolutely incredible! Who would have thought a zombie flick could be so unique, original and wildly entertaining - and that it could sidetrack you with the most audacious curve ball that will knock you out the park and some (twice). Perseverance is the key, the best things are always worth waiting for and this is one of those occasions where the reward will leave you agog at the genius, originality and imagination conjured up. Brilliant!!!

    A gem despite a slow start

    The first twenty minutes are disconcerting and are almost an invitation to leave the movie theater, cursing the friend(s) who invited you to see this movie. Nevertheless, after the introduction, the movie is quite hilarious. If you like zombies and comedies, this movie is right for you!

    As a postscript, according to IMDb, the budget is about 25.000 USD. Incredible!

    Action!

    Easily one of the most original movies of recent years, 'One Cut Of The Dead (2017)' is best experienced if you know as little about it as possible. As such, I'm only going to talk about it in the vaguest of terms. It's safe to say, though, that I highly recommend you go out and watch it. It's a film that successfully subverts expectation on more than one occasion, displaying an excellent understanding of its audience in the process. Though its second act does slow things down considerably, it's wholly necessary to set up one of the most satisfying finales I've ever seen. Seriously, the final third is absolutely phenomenal and retrospectively makes the affair's first movement (which is done as an incredibly ambitious, thirty-seven-minute oner) even more effective. The film feigns amateurism, but it's actually acutely choreographed and amazingly clever. It's funny, engaging, surprising, energetic, inspired and enjoyable. It's fantastic. 9/10.
