Shin'ichiro Ueda's One Cut of the Dead is about a low-budget Japanese film crew making a zombie horror movie. For authenticity, they are filming in a factory where legend has it that government experiments have resulted in the dead rising from their graves. Suffice to say, the crew are interrupted by real zombies and the struggle for life begins.

A viewer would not be slighted one bit for shutting off the TV within 15-minutes of the 2017 zombie-comedy. The movie features terrible camerawork and atrocious acting.

Then it all changes.

To discuss more about this film would ruin the great plot twist to come. Stick it out past the first 37-minutes and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
