The film follows a film crew trying to make a zombie film for live television, that is supposed to be done in a single take. Recording in an abandoned WWII Japanese facility they are soon attacked by real zombies.

However, it's release came with a warning from fans. An English subtitled cut of the trailer had a special message included at the beginning.

It says: "One Cut of the Dead is being called 'the best zombie comedy since Shaun of the Dead.' It's full of hilarious surprises - some of which we are about to spoil. You should skip this trailer and go get your tickets instead."

Avoiding being spoiled by anything regarding the film is a sentiment backed up by many fans and critics. While managing a perfect 100% rating on website Rotten Tomatoes, one critic claimed: "The less you know going into this masterpiece, the better. If you’re going to watch a zombie movie, watch this zombie movie."

Another added: "One of the smartest, funniest, and sweetest zombie movies you will ever see." While someone else penned: "One Cut of the Dead is easily an instant genre classic that renews my hope for zombie films with its triumphant story of one family united in their struggle against the undead."

Viewers should be rewarded if they manage to go in with little expectations as one person said: "Just when I thought I couldn't possibly find something new in a zombie movie, One Cut of the Dead comes along and completely upends my expectations of the genre."

Its a sentiment backed up by horror movie fans, as one sharing their thoughts online, posted: "You really should know very little about this movie before watching, so all I'll say is that it's joyful to watch. Also, watch it with others. Non zombie fans will love it too."

Some also offer up a second warning for those looking to watch the film. That is to remain patient when watching.

As one person explained: "If you haven’t seen it, I refuse to tell you anything about it. This is a movie that you have to go in blind for in order to get the full effect. And whatever you do - STICK WITH IT. You will have the urge to turn it off during the first 30 minutes - but DON’T.

"You will be so happy that you didn’t and be greeted to one of the better movie experiences that you’ve had in awhile. It’s unique, hilarious, extremely clever, and had me genuinely happy after it ended."

One Cut of the Dead is streaming on Shudder.
