Luckily, this often absurdist and extremely funny film breathes new life into a genre so often bereft of original ideas. The film follows a low budget filmmaker tasked with creating a one take zombie short shot live, and we open with just that - a wonderful 37 minute single take that at times seems questionable in both line delivery and performance.
It is only after the 'credit's roll that the genius of the film unfolds as we follow the film within the film being short and all the strange moments slowly reveal themselves as carefully crafted and expertly planned pieces of a chess-like performance, each move made thinking several ahead to strengthen the board overall.
You cannot help but smile as the film unravels and the intent of the movie clicks, the workrate of everyone involved and their obvious love for not just the script but filmmaking as art is in abundance and it comes across as wonderfully endearing, a love letter to all aspiring film makers struck with an idea they wish to shoot into creation"
- 8/10
