Written and directed by Shin’ichirô Ueda (Special Actors), the horror/comedy stars Harumi Shuhama (Ichigo no uta), Takayuki Hamatsu (“Followers”),  and Yuzuki Akiyama (“Kamen raidâ Jiô”).

In ONE CUT OF THE DEAD, while shooting a low-budget zombie film in an abandoned warehouse, the crew find themselves caught between actual zombies and a mad director who won’t stop rolling. If you think you know what happens next, think again. Filmmaker Shinichiro Ueda turns the film on its head more than once for one of the wildest, funniest, and most surprising zombie movies of all time.

ONE CUT OF THE DEAD DVD, as well as DVD/Blu-ray SteelBook, include the following bonus features:

· Outtakes

· POM! Instructional Video

· Photo Gallery

The DVD/Blu-ray SteelBook also includes the Go-Pro Version of the film. To learn more about the film that we here at Nightmarish Conjurings call, “Absolutely Bonkers!,” check out our review of the film HERE.
