This Japanese zombie film hides its secrets so well that once you finish it, you will want to watch it again straight away just to spot how it was done

Photograph: Enbu SeminarPhotograph: Enbu Seminart almost seems a shame to tell you anything about One Cut of the Dead, given so much of its charm comes from having no idea what you are about to watch. If you have a spare 90 minutes, close this and go watch it. If that plea is not enough to convince you, read on at your peril.

Like flicking on a light switch, the horror is over and One Cut of the Dead becomes a slapstick comedy. We watch the zombie film all over again but this time we see what is going on behind the camera. What appeared to be terrifying and violent chaos is revealed to be plain old chaos of the show business kind: there were no zombies attacking actors, only actors playing zombified actors.
