1. "One Cut of the Dead"

Tomatometer: 100%

"One Cut of the Dead" is a hilarious Japanese zombie comedy film written and directed by Shinichiro Ueda. It tells a story about a film crew shooting a zombie horror flick in an abandoned water filtration plant, allegedly used for human experiments by the military. Just as the director browbeats his actors and demands more bloody special effects, they are attacked by real zombies. The Critics Consensus: "Brainy and bloody in equal measure, 'One Cut of the Dead' reanimates the moribund zombie genre with a refreshing blend of formal daring and clever satire."
