The Undead Symphony
Episode 149: Final Cut
I went into this expecting to get progressively more and more angry about a 2022 French remake of the 2017 Japanese hit One Cut of the Dead. I was ready. Fists and teeth clenched. But then I watched it. And it was brilliant. Sure, it was almost a scene by scene remake of the original, but 1. it looked better and 2. it included references to the movie on which it was based.
We follow a small movie production creating a live 30 minute movie in a single take for a new online horror channel. Very similar to the original. We have the diva star who argues about everything, the drunk, the guy with the dodgy belly, the model actress, the actress who goes loony tunes thinking it is all real, and the director, trying his best to be cheap, and decent.
7/10 and I genuinely do think they improved on the original with this one. Highly recommended and free on Amazon at the moment.
