Slapstick After Dark: One Cut of the Dead (2017)

A deliriously inventive comedy-horror hybrid that became an international cult sensation!

One Cut of the Dead (2017) begins as a low-budget zombie filmshoot in an abandoned warehouse until a real zombie outbreak apparently interrupts production. But nothing in this film is quite what it seems. With jaw-dropping twists, razor-sharp comic timing and a heartfelt love for the chaos of filmmaking itself, Shinichirō Ueda’s breakout cult hit is both a genre parody and a joyous celebration of creative collaboration against the odds.

Introduced by Adam Murray from the Bristol Black Horror Club, whose introduction sets the scene for this unique Japanese gem and its global influence on indie horror and comedy.
