A film in a film in a film? Talking about meta! A film crew is shooting a zombie film in a deserted lab. After 42 takes, the director storms outside. Suddenly, the zombie apocalypse is happening and one after the other, the crew members transform in dead-eyed, groaning people. The director is over the moon and demands that the remaining actors and the cameraman start shooting the scenes. Finally, real tears and primal fears! But this is only the beginning. Blood gets splashed around, we see an occasional limb rolling by, and then there’s the one survivor who tries to hide that she’s turning into a zombie, too…

One Cut of the Dead is a zombie film that parodies the genre with a hilarious take on its clichés.
