Cut

First of all this movie reeks of simplicity on which other movies simply don't because they offer no acting what so ever. This horror movie is excellent, because actors are really frightened and the place looks very comfortable for them to grow upon. Everything is learned from the story, which is how it should be! Mind you that tastes are always different and today there are plenty of people with exceptionally lowered taste, swallowing ridiculous CGI effects that hog the screen. Where is acting in all of that? Well...I believe that movies of this type offer refreshment in creating new ideas with little as much possible resources. Having an open mind, while watching this panic movie will entertain you without any wish for blood baths, fountains of blood, etc. Remember this is a movie about people left alone in an English countryside, having no working communication to call for police, where a bunch of clowns (they look awesome, BTW!) get to play a little game with them. Its a Fun experience, and I recommend you see it for yourself.

This is a film bound to slice opinion, when you consider that apart from the opening 'film within a film' segment, the whole of CUT was filmed in one take!!! I didn't know this when I bought the film, I just figured it looked pretty cool, in fact it wasn't until a few minutes into the film that I noticed what was happening and I couldn't believe it. This is brave film making when you consider all the tried and tested horror film camera language they are sacrificing by shooting this way and in my opinion on the whole they pull it off. It's even got a few shocks! The plot doesn't smash any boundaries but hardly the point here. The actors all do extremely great jobs, with all round strong performances.

Directors/Writers trying something different and having the bottle to go against the grain should always be applauded. Cut is to be both applauded and enjoyed, an excellent viewing experience. I very much recommend this to any and all genuine film fans out there.

I actually stumbled across Cut quite a while ago as I'm a huge fan of Joe Dante and was checking out what Zach Galligan was up to these days. I'm based in America and I bought the film on Amazon and I was really impressed. Zach looks great and yes the two main actresses go topless which is always a plus in my opinion! I forgot about the whole one shot thing pretty quickly and viewed the film normally. The plot gripped me enough, I was sufficiently on edge and drawn in by the characters. I did get one belting fright which I didn't see coming and I never saw the twist coming either so it definitely ticked plenty of boxes in terms of what I look for in films I love. I'm not saying it rocked my world but I'm certainly not asking for my money back.

Awful.... are you kidding. I am ashamed that I have to give this piece of sick crap 1 out of 10 it doesn't even deserve 1 out of 1000. Please don't even think about seeing its trailer . I can say one thing that the person who directed this movie must be traveling by locals.

The movie is about some people please excuse me for calling them that are asked to run haywire running inside a shanty house as some clowns (perhaps the director and producers) are there to kill them, it is also about trying to close and open doors. Height is when one of the friend first check if the door is closed and then in the next moment opens it to allow the clown faced creature if you can call it to enter .This is just one example of how bad the script is unfortunately for the viewer the movie is also directed by the same person.

The good thing about the movie is that you don't have to worry to understand the dialogues or for that matter what is going on in the movie.

I must congratulate the actor for having the courage to work in this movie I feel sorry for them. But wait if you are thick skinned like me then the torture is not yet over for you the last 15 mins is going to rip you off , trust me IMDb censor those words which I want to use here to let you know about the climax of the movie.

Last but not the least I request the industry to cut people associated with this movie else ....

A proper script and better sound editing might have saved this effort from going horribly wrong. As for the story, it doesn't deserve describing - nothing happens that we haven't seen a dozen times in other films. People behave in the usual, expected dumb horror film character manner. Events happen that are meant to be scary but, most of the time, are not.

As it is, the "one continuous take" thing is a gimmick, nothing more. It doesn't add to the story or the suspense. The camera operator should get better paying gigs, but the rest of the crew should not be so lucky. Directing is hit and miss - I am sure it was extremely hard work to choreograph the entire 65 minute take, but the acting is so off that it kind of kills all the other aspects of direction. Especially after the mid point does most of the acting degenerate into insanely theatrical territory. In fact, the whole production seems like a stage play, and the performances are uniformly reminiscent of one. Dialogue at first sounds clever but soon becomes annoyingly so, and is most of the time very on-the-nose. And that is only when it can be heard, because at times sound mix is so bad, the soundtrack and noises drown out the actors' voices.

Fight sequences are ridiculous - I am sure it is awfully difficult to stage fighting when there are no cuts, but in this case they would have been better off not showing anything at all. Most of the fighting resembles very drunken bar brawls with old school slapstick fight sounds added.

Music is diabolical - I am not sure if it is meant to be ironic (the fact that the rest of the film seems to be played out straight suggests otherwise) - but the extremely loud eruptions of staccato effects are not scary at all. If anything, they are distracting and terribly irritating. There is zero tension.

I can only recommend this film to hardcore horror fans. The single take approach may be of some interest to film students or professionals, but content-wise "Cut" is a waste of time and talent. At least they spared some money on editing.
