But, like any good horror film, there’s more to know than what you read in the synopsis. This description is clear, straight-forward, and tells you everything you need to know about this zombie flick before you press play. This is the premise for the 2017 release One Cut of the Dead from director Shin’ichirô Ueda adapted from the play “Ghost in the Box!” from author Ryoichi Wada.
In the middle of shooting a zombie film, the cast and crew find themselves fighting off an actual zombie attack. Surprise hit of 2017, “One Cut of the Dead,” now out on physical release. It culminates with an impressive but wobbly crane shot.Home › Recommendation › Films To Watch › Surprise hit of 2017, “One Cut of the Dead,” now out on physical release. We get cheesy repeated crash-zooms, a fiercely convincing performance by the director, but oddly protracted improv acting elsewhere. The spirit of this is found in what we appear to be watching here: a movie about a low-budget zombie horror film that, mid-shoot, is suddenly invaded by real-life zombies, which the crazed director greets ecstatically as the chance for some real horror – and all shot on one bravura 40-minute take (the “one cut” of the punning title). (It is the inspiration for the stage show The Play That Goes Wrong.) Michael Frayn’s 1982 play shows, in three acts, the rehearsal of a terrible drawing-room comedy, then the same chaotic run-through as seen from backstage, and finally the same show well into the run, from out front again, but now disintegrating calamitously. T his cheerfully entertaining metafictional zombie horror comedy from Japanese film-maker Shin’ichirô Ueda reminded me overwhelmingly of Noises Off.
