So at first you just cringe and laugh at the silliness of the movie. Then you are confused. And then you laugh at how amazing the movie is. The last 30minutes were one of my best movie watching experience.

Easily one of the most original movies of recent years, 'One Cut Of The Dead (2017)' is best experienced if you know as little about it as possible. As such, I'm only going to talk about it in the vaguest of terms. It's safe to say, though, that I highly recommend you go out and watch it. It's a film that successfully subverts expectation on more than one occasion, displaying an excellent understanding of its audience in the process. Though its second act does slow things down considerably, it's wholly necessary to set up one of the most satisfying finales I've ever seen. Seriously, the final third is absolutely phenomenal and retrospectively makes the affair's first movement (which is done as an incredibly ambitious, thirty-seven-minute oner) even more effective. The film feigns amateurism, but it's actually acutely choreographed and amazingly clever. It's funny, engaging, surprising, energetic, inspired and enjoyable. It's fantastic. 9/10.

Absolutely incredible! Who would have thought a zombie flick could be so unique, original and wildly entertaining - and that it could sidetrack you with the most audacious curve ball that will knock you out the park and some (twice). Perseverance is the key, the best things are always worth waiting for and this is one of those occasions where the reward will leave you agog at the genius, originality and imagination conjured up. Brilliant!!!
ACTION!
Some novels trust you to be able to stick with strange decisions and styles to push through to a few final pages or chapters or lines that achieve the near-impossible, they redefine and reframe the previous ones, they shed a new light, and radically change your thoughts on the previous material/project as a whole.
That happens in this film. To discuss it any further is to completely ruin it. Suffice to say, it is every bit as good as it is being touted as. It's got clever commentary and a style of comedy that means you can actually be laughing before they even show you anything. I'm still laughing about it today, and I think it even manages to take Zombies and be the first film of this decade to give them a new thematic meaning.
It's got a denouement too many, but they've earned it: I watched this film at the Sitges film festival and the filmmakers and cast received a standing ovation, at which, I was almost in tears, not only because they thoroughly deserved it, but also because they managed to make a film about what making a film is about. It captures almost all of what it feels like in an authentic and different way to usual, and it uses its budget to make a film about making a film at that budget perfectly.
I have no doubt that this cast and crew (of whom none have a single IMDB headshot image!) will get One Cut of the Dead will get a distributor and achieve worldwide success and acclaim, it's just too special and genuine and innovative not to.
And it even manages to correct that fact that it 'should' have been called One Take of the Dead in a way that satisfies a pedant like me! Time to get off my arse and make something...

When I started watching it, I thought it was one of the cheapest, stupidest zombie movies that I had ever seen (and I saw really a lot!). I continued hoping it could get any better, and it does, BIG WAY. The end reveals this movie as one of the best homages ever made to the art of cinema and an hilarious celebration of human creativity.

If you don't like violent zombie films, you might still enjoy "One Cut of the Dead". Sure, it has blood (as you'd expect) but it is more tongue in cheek and silly as opposed to being gross or gratuitous. So, if you are a parent, you could let older kids watch this one with no serious concerns about your kids becoming warped for life!
The story is a confusing one. It's kind of like a movie within a movie...within a movie. Instead of explaining the exact plot, I'll just insist that you watch it and don't worry if you are confused....stick with it.
The movie is clever, funny and offers something new and different. And, with so many young filmmakers making zombie films, this one actually offers you some things that are unique and well thought out. Well worth seeing....and a great example of cheap but effective film making.

The first twenty minutes are disconcerting and are almost an invitation to leave the movie theater, cursing the friend(s) who invited you to see this movie. Nevertheless, after the introduction, the movie is quite hilarious. If you like zombies and comedies, this movie is right for you!
As a postscript, according to IMDb, the budget is about 25.000 USD. Incredible!

I would watch this with no context of what the movie is about. Each act of the movie is a totally different experience that expands on the last and makes it infinitely better.

Given that this movie is the number one horror thriller on Rotten Tomatoes, I thought I would give it a shot. Firstly, yes, it is very clever and I would say that the last 30 minutes are really, really enjoyable.
That said, there is no other way to look at it than to accept that the first hour is painful to watch, and it kind of raises the question as to why we tolerate it for movies like Climax by Gaspar Noé, but not for other genres.
Overall, I won't spoil it like others have. It's worth watching. It's a light-hearted comedy, so don't expect the cinematic dizzying heights of true art-house movie like "Shoplifters" from the same country, which is a solid 9 out of 10.
I'll give this 6 out of 10 because you can tell a lot of effort went into breaking the mold from a director who is known for paper-thin adaptations of animes.
Maybe that's the true story after all, opening a fourth dimension to an already very meta script.

Waste of time.

A bit confused at first, since we don't know what to expect.. but man.. half way through, we GOT it and we couldn't stop laughing.. we even still laughing hard just thinking about it. This movie is pure genius. Highly recommend especially for those who love comedy.

I went into this film expecting a low-budget and hopefully less-than typical zombie movie. I'm glad to say this movie turned out to be an incredibly fun watch. Right when you think you've finished up and have gotten exactly what you expected, the film completely throws you in the opposite direction and puts a lens on the genre in such a way that is fun, funny, and outright entertaining. As a fan of both zombie horror and foreign films, I really suggest you check this one out.

Definitely one of the most unique movies I have seen. For the first third, I was a little confused as to why it was so highly rated and thought some choices were a bit odd; not to say it was bad. The 37min long take was still amazing to watch, just a bit odd at times.
However, as the movie begins to reveal its surprise, and I began to understand the genius that was unfolding, it quickly became one of the most enjoyable movies I have had the pleasure of seeing. And so funny! If you can, go in cold to avoid any spoilers.
It's also in rare company in that it's one of the few movies that actually made me laugh out loud.

Like many many others have already said, stick with it, the first 35 minutes will all makes sense later on, I was one of those who almost switched it off as it seemed so awful to begin with..but you'll find it why.
Can't say too much without giving it away but it's got a good a mix of direction, humour (translates really well!) and wit.
Considering this film was only 2.99, it offers fantastic value!

Really clever idea for a movie. The problem is that it's a double-edged sword of a premise.
On the one hand, it's very original and charming. On the other, you will be on the verge of turning it off for the first hour.
The first 1/3 of the movie is intended to be mediocre. It's integral for the grand scheme, but it can't be ignored how tedious of a viewing experience it is. The middle third is where the setup begins, so you basically have 2/3 of a movie with virtually no substance.
The real question for a movie like this is whether the payoff redeems it. That's gonna depend entirely on your preferred brand(s) of humor. I did find myself chuckling like a dork a number of times and was impressed with how they wrapped it up.
That being said, I don't think it was funny enough to warrant anything higher than a 6. It just barely eked out a "worth watching once" endorsement from me.
Something to note is that the horror/comedy classification is misleading. Anyone here primarily for the horror elements is potentially going to be very disappointed and disgruntled.

This was the first movie I saw at 2018s Stockholm film festival - what an incredible way to start! I knew almost nothing about the movie when it started and I am happy that I didn't; it created my favorite experience from the whole festival.
I want other people to have the same amazing experience that I had which makes it very difficult to write a review. I will give you as much information as I had:
One Cut Of The Dead is a low-budget movie about a film crew shooting a zombie movie when suddenly they are attacked by zombies themselves!
That's all I knew and that's all I will tell you. Just take my word for it. Make some popcorn, gather some friends and go enjoy this fantastic movie!

With the 8.0 score on Imdb and a lot of 10 star review for a horror comedy made in Japan I think everyone including me will find One Cut of the Dead to be a hidden gem in the horror genre, but frankly I'm almost gave up on this movie about 40 minutes in cause not one time I laugh or find anything slightly interesting so at one point I even thought to myself this movie may be one of those overrated trash of a movie that only works with a pretentious crowd but right after that rough start somehow the rest of the movie took an interesting direction that make itself more bearable and this time it actually intriguing me. It still not quite the guts busting zombie movie I hope for and for a movie to took that much time to be interesting then maybe it not a good movie at all but the charming message about film making on low budget I got from One Cut of the Dead definitely make it worth a watch

I watched this after reading some of the glowing reviews on here. I love zombie films and horror comedies but this is just hopeless. Someone else said 'if you don't like it at first, stick with it' or something similar so I ploughed on expecting it to get better.
It really doesn't. I watched two thirds of the film and sort of smiled once, normally if I watch half a film and don't like it I'll watch the rest because I've invested so much time already but I gave up on this. It's a film about the making of a film, the zombies are people pulling faces, the gore is rubbish but the worst part is it's just not funny.
Maybe the last third/quarter of the film it suddenly gets hilarious but I doubt it. If you're prepared to sit through an hour of boring first to find out then give it a go

This film, a wildly original take on zombie movies, comes in three acts.
**Non-spoiler alert. The next paragraph may look like a spoiler, but it's not. The real surprises come much later.**
In Act 1 a film crew trying to make a zombie movie is attacked by real zombies. That's not a spoiler. The idea has been around ever since people have been making zombie movies. Carnage abounds for a good 40 minutes.
Act 2 is a surprise. But it's short, so don't leave.
Act 3, the denouement, is recommended for audiences with strong hearts. I was still laughing the next day.
