One Cut of the Dead - NextGen Cinema

A film crew enters an abandoned building to shoot a zombie movie. The director wants only one thing: real fear. But when the zombies seem all too real and the crew members start panicking one by one, the production spirals completely out of control.

One Cut of the Dead starts as a delightfully chaotic zombie film, but grows into something much more unexpected. Director Shin'ichirō Ueda brilliantly plays with film conventions, expectations, and the joy of creating something together. What begins as a low-budget horror film gradually turns into a surprising and infectious tribute to filmmakers, film sets, and the magic of cinema. An inspiring ode to low-budget filmmaking, which shows how much love, work, and planning goes into making makeshift horror films. One Cut of the Dead was a big hit on the international festival circuit.
