Final Cut

• Horror
• Comedy

A relentlessly kinetic and darkly comedic horror-comedy, *Final Cut* unfolds as a live television broadcast of a low-budget zombie film shoot descends into genuine chaos. What begins as on-set mishaps – bad acting, technical errors, and simmering interpersonal conflicts among the cast and crew – rapidly spirals into a gruesome reality as actual zombie attacks begin occurring during takes. The film’s ingenious long-take execution intensifies the escalating panic and blurring of lines between performance and life-or-death survival, forcing characters to improvise not only their lines but their strategies for self-preservation. It’s a self-aware, visceral exploration of filmmaking obsession, ego clashes, and the horrifying potential unleashed when art imitates life with terrifying accuracy, becoming less a spoof and more a frantic, blood-soaked descent into a uniquely meta-horror experience.
