Paul Tremblay turned me on to ONE CUT OF THE DEAD (Shudder). If you think you’ve seen every variation of zombies-on-a-rampage...you haven’t. Original and big fun. Thanks, Paul!
🍙 The lead: "Kazuto Osawa is the kind of person I couldn't take my eyes off, not only when he was acting but also when he was watching others act. Even the way he picked up sweets from the catering was engrossing to me." -dir. Ueda
