“One Cut of the Dead” is a movie about the making of a zombie movie about a director making a zombie movie where actual zombies appear…(?) However you try to describe it, one thing is for sure: WE LOVED IT. It hit close to home for us filmmakers, is full of heart, and is a fresh take on the zombie sub-genre. There’s a reason this meta, fun-fest went from being a single-theater, indie release to a huge box office hit. All of the above and more earned it that elusive double “buy” from the guys.
