Cut
A group of film students set out to finish filming a movie that was never completed after its director was murdered. After they begin filming, they realize they're in for a bit of trouble, not unlike the late director...
Why it matters
A meta-slasher that blends slasher tropes with a behind-the-scenes horror twist, Cut (2000) offers a self-aware slice of early-2000s genre play.
- Practical gore effects that evoke the heyday of 80s slasher craftsmanship, a treat for fans tired of overly digital kills.
- Plays like a love letter to slasher conventions while injecting a fresh “film within a film” premise that anticipates later meta-horror hits.
- Perfect for viewers who savor the tension of haunted production settings and the slow unspooling of paranoia among a tight-knit cast.
- Not a flawless classic—the pacing can drag and some performances lean into archetype—but its earnest genre enthusiasm makes it a cult curiosity worth the hunt.
