Cut!
Nothing is as it seems as an ex-con and aspirant filmmaker set out to manufacture a horror film by scaring real people; however, when it goes too far and someone actually dies, the pair decide that killing for real on film is the way to make a truly terrifying movie.
Why it matters
A meta-slasher that blurs the line between cinematic illusion and deadly reality, Cut! delivers a grim, self-aware riff on found-footage obsession and exploitation horror’s darkest impulses.
- Twists the “film within a film” conceit to deconstruct horror’s appetite for shock and spectacle.
- Practical gore effects elevate the escalating body count—think cruder, grittier echoes of early Eli Roth.
- For fans of DIY horror and meta-commentary à la The Blair Witch Project or Behind the Mask.
- Uneasy tone balances dark humor with genuinely unsettling moments, making you question who’s really watching—and why.
