10 MORE Horror Movies That Broke All The Rules

Severely underrated outside of Japan, One Cut of the Dead appears initially to be a super low-budget handheld movie that deals with a zombie outbreak in an abandoned water filtration plant. Shot entirely in one take, it's a bit of a mess but does the job admirably, before credits bizarrely roll on the movie half an hour in.

And if you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favour and give a go since it's best enjoyed with as little information as possible.

After the one-shot, the film then changes form, flashes back to a month prior, and outlines how the team came together to build exactly how the movie would play out.

It all leads up to the point of filming the single take movie, giving us the behind-the-scenes scoop of what really went down behind the film crew. Honestly, the result is one of the single most hilarious presentations of a horror-comedy to date. Both technically impressive and pin-sharp with its wit, One Cut of the Dead reveals everything that went wrong that shaped the final single take product, explaining why strange angles, jilted communication, and strange plot deviations take place with ridiculous consequences.

It breaks every convention of a handheld movie by pulling out into a studio project, smashes zombie conventions to dust by not ACTUALLY featuring any zombies, and even challenges normal film rules by providing three in one. It's ludicrously good fun.
