Odds are, if you are a zombie fan or a horror fan, you’ve seen 2017’s bonkers indie horror, One Cut of the Dead, by director Shin’ichirô Ueda. Let me refresh your memory. The film was shot in one long take and saw a film crew making a zombie movie be attacked by real zombies. The movie quickly earned cult status upon its US release. Oscar-winning writer-director Michel Hazanavicius‘ remake, Final Cut, will soon be heading to theaters. The remake, Final Cut, follows a director (Romain Duris, L’Auberge Espagnole) charged with making a live, single-take, low-budget zombie flick in which the cast and crew, one by one, actually turn into zombies.

Final Cut, which screened at both Cannes and Tribecca, serves as a sly love letter to the art of filmmaking and a blood-soaked, hilarious genre farce with a meta-to-the-max premise.
