One Cut is underrated here. That is turning into a favorite. I would replace Zombieland with that one in the top 3.
Fair. IMDB rating is a better guide than my order.
Don't sell yourself so short parasitic arachnid, I think movie review sites are a pretty decent guide and I find that my tastes normally follow consensus but they aren't the bible and people are wrong all the time.
Never heard or seen One Cut of the Dead but I'll check it out.
It is a Japanese movie from 2017. It blends a lot of stuff I love in the horror genre: laughs, found footage, one-takes, and movies about making a movie. This was one that got a really strong reaction as I was combing through lists. I've only seen it a few times, but I can see it growing into an Oct. staple for me and it's one at the top of my list of movies to buy. IMO it belongs in a tier of movies like Tucker and Dale, Cabin in the Woods, and Shaun of the Dead. I could see it not clicking with people though. I like some odd horror movies like Deathgasm as well.
I will say this for anybody who might try it: please stick it out past 30mins. Yes, the movie is low budget and looks like crap and yes there is a good reason for it.
