The filming of a horrific DTV is in full swing in an abandoned factory. Bored technicians, unconcerned actors... only the director seems invested with the necessary energy to give life to yet another budget zombie film. During the preparation of a particularly unpleasant scene, the shooting is disturbed by authentic zombies…

One Cut Of The Dead has everything of a fantastic movie of the 2010s: Japanese direct-to-video film shot in DV, zombies, metaphysical delirium... Shinichiro Ueda skilfully avoids repetition thanks to his narration - better, he bypasses the haughty treatment of his subject by focusing on his characters. His film, already adorned with a halo of cult potential in festivals and in his country of origin, turns out to be a friendly tribute to the artisans of the contemporary B movie scene.
