One Cut of the Dead (2017)
There’s meta, and then there’s a movie thats so self-referential it basically takes place inside a Russian nesting doll. It’s the INCEPTION of the found footage genre! This week we’re getting to the center of a very, very crunchy tootsie pop. Another remarkable low-budget success story, ONE CUT is the type of movie that makes you want to pick up a camera and go shoot something… or behead some zombies. Either way, it’s inspiring stuff!!
