Hour of the Wolf and Cemetery Without Crosses sound pretty awesome, I'll hit either of those. |

Sorry I wrote that in a hurry and fucked up the entire point of my post. |

One Cut of the Dead (2017)
One Cut of the Dead is a movie I'd long heard pretty overwhelming praise for in some of the circles I frequent, so the first question to ask is does it live up to the hype? The answer is most assuredly yes, yes it does. It's also a movie, though, that I have to be pretty careful in really talking about, because it's one that surprises you with the path it ultimately takes, and I don't want to risk saying too much, because a lot of the joy with this movie comes from discovering that path yourself as you watch it. But suffice it to say that it's a really good one. The film starts out with a small Japanese film crew filming a low-budget zombie film at an abandoned factory as they soon discover an actual zombie apocalypse occurring around them...and that's all you really need to know. From there, the movie finds fresh ways of morphing its premise into something else that gives the movie different layers, and if you're willing to go along with it (as I was more than happy to), then the results are very much rewarding. I'll even admit that at first, I was sitting there definitely entertained, but also wondering just hat it was about this movie that had people gushing so much. However, when that aspect of the movie revealed itself, everything started to click more. And by the time the movie gets to its Third Act, it's operating at what feels like its full power, and it's massively entertaining. In fact, the Third Act invites comparisons -- and favorably so -- to another specific movie -- but I don't want to say which, because that'd be a giveaway. All that needs to be said, though, is that One Cut of the Dead is a massively entertaining and unique take on a genre movie that just gets stronger as it goes on, and by the end, it really proves its worth. Absolutely see it if you haven't already, but do your best to go in knowing as little as possible.

Glad you liked it! 1godzillafan recommended it to me a couple years ago and despite his offensive, vulgar, irreverent, blasphemous, barbaric and distasteful posts that pull me closer to the depths of hell just by reading them and are in no way appropriate for anyone under the age of 35, his recommendation was spot on as I had a great time. I've turned a couple of my friends on to it as well. |

Sorry Drac but that’s an old Jibbs rule, once you get a list then that’s it, it doesn’t matter who assigns it. The partner thing is all for show.

I've turned a couple of my friends on to it as well. One Cut of the Dead kicks ass. It's such a lovely salute to in-the-trenches, freewheeling filmmaking, made by people who were out of the studio system and just got in the trenches and freewheeled. Everything I love about movies in one movie. |

PG Cooper PhantomKnight since this is an odd round why don't we each leave 2 or 3 movies for Drac to choose from and he can pick one. PK, if you throw up a list I'll try to get to one of yours.

Wouldn't the easiest solution be to just have PhantomKnight assign to me instead of Nilade? |

I would give him some, but I'm pretty sure we're at the point where there is no movie that I've seen that Drac hasn't.

Getting a ton of renovations done and am living practically alone for the next month or so traveling back and forth - I can join up. Believe I still owe PhantomKnight a marathon man review - and I still intend to follow through on that. |
